Comments on Statement of Intent:

·         There is a lot of impressive content here – you’ve clearly thought about your concept in detail, the title and tagline are excellent and you use some media terminology and theory. However, I’m worried this doesn’t meet the brief. I know you address this in the statement but I just don’t think a pre-watershed show aimed at a family audience would have this narrative. One to think about and reflect on seriously.
·         In terms of word count, I think you have too much narrative description and not enough of the other aspects of the statement of intent.
·         You need a lot more media terminology in terms of the technical construction of your trailer – camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, editing. Due to the word limit you won’t be able to include too much but choose a couple of shots with real significance/connotations alongside a couple of other aspects. Most importantly, you need to be specific both in terms of what you will create and what it communicates to the audience.
·         You need a section on representation and stereotyping (get some media theory in here too).
·         In general, you use the ‘easier’ media theorists (U&G, Todorov etc.) Can you bring in any of the more challenging theories?
·         No reference to the print product – you need to address the culture magazine element which is 50% of the brief.
·         I really like your hashtag ideas but can you develop this a little to address the digital convergence aspect of the statement of intent mark scheme?


Improvements:
i will add common stereotypes presented in the media in order to create a message on county lines - with the use of young teenagers
less use of drugs and strong editorial justifications in order to portray the message on how county lines leads to a negative lifestyle without glamorising it.
may also challenge theorists like todorov theory of equilibrium and that it does not lead to a new equilibrium

mise-en-scene 2

COSTUME The costume is similar to the other image as it is very dull and boring which emphasises in this case, a scare and a mysterious scene. the costume is also similar in the sense that they are both very plain which could also emphasise that something bad is occurring. LIGHTING The lighting in this scene is low-key lighting which is presenting very little light similar to the other picture. this is because it matches with the costume showing that it is very mysterious and the audience don't know what's going to happen ACTOR The actor is placed in the middle so it is mostly focused on the character which is backed up by the lighting. The placement of the character allows the audience to be engaged more. this is not the same in the other image as there were multiple actors distributed differently MAKE-UP Not shown PROPS The props evident in this scene and blurred out as the lighting is focused on the actor. The props shows are books and a TV which
