Media Blog 2 (Frankly)

My TV Crime Drama is to be called “Diamond is Unbreakable”, which has just seen the release of its second season after the phenomenal success of its first season - mainly due to the fact that it was released on Netflix and HBO Max. My three minute extract would appear in the closing moments of the season’s eighth and final episode. “Diamond is Unbreakable” (or “DiU” for short) follows the story of Faraan Kurii, a seasoned detective trying to connect the dots on the murder of his parents and take down the crime syndicate, along with the man who did this to him. The brief, I feel, will be met quite easily as my three minute extract features 4 different settings with each being incongruous to the other - however they each stick to the gloomy and miserable feel of the second season. The extract also presents a plethora of iconic narrative features, such as flashbacks, rises in tension, and relief periods. Humans convey a lot of emotion with just their bodies, whether it be with movement in

  Front cover 1) Research TV listing magazine front cover key conventions. Find at least five examples of TV listings magazine front covers and post them to your blog. This will give you a good idea of the type of magazine you need to produce. 2) Note down the design elements you notice in each front cover example you research and look for aspects you can use in your own work (e.g. camera shots, page design or cover lines).  Front-facing shot of the actor/actress In the middle of a pose or idle Specific fonts and colour schemes to show off important details Text overlapping the actor/actress or being cut off by them Uniform and messy Aesthetic 3) What key conventions can you find across different types of front cover - e.g. title placement, cover lines, main flash or cover line, date/price/barcode etc. Titles tend to be at the very top, big with slight cutting from the actor/actress Barcodes are usually placed at the bottom-right hand corner of the cover Dates tend to be at the top in

1) Script Write the full  script  for your TV drama extract. You'll hopefully have a chunk of this done from your preliminary exercise but now is the time to make sure you have scripted a full three-minute extract that meets the brief.  SCRIPT 2) Shot list Write a comprehensive shot list for every single possible shot you plan to film for your crime drama extract. For three minutes of film, that is going to be a LOT of shots - quite possibly more than 200. 3) Mise-en-scene planning Plan everything that will appear in front of the camera in your production. Remember  CLAMPS : Costume, Lighting, Actors (cast, placement, movement and expression), Make-up, Props, Setting. COSTUME : Detective uniform - STRAYING FURTHER AWAY FROM TYPICAL TOP HAT ATTIRE. Keep it clean and simple, trench-coat, jacket (underneath the trench-coat), shirt w/ tie, cargo's, boots. Trying to convey that he tends to be very carefree, not completely strict but still keeps a sense of formality with him.        

The name of my TV Crime Drama is called " Diamonds Are 4Ever " and would be released onto streaming services  Netflix  and  HBO Max . The plan is to have the extract be the  last three minutes of Season 2's finale , where the Main Character " Faraan Kurii " chases " The   OVERseer " (the Main Villain) Through an alleyway into a bustling estate where he unfortunately loses sight of him and is struggling on what to do while he stands in the middle of a park he's found himself at.  the narrative follows a troubled detective on his journey to track and kill the cartel and the man responsible for his family's demise with the help of his crew, however some of them may not be who he thinks they are . In addition, I have more than two recording locations set in stone which include: the bridge connecting from my estate and my school and areas from my estate which fit the theme of the crime drama. Genre codes will generally be quite easy to successfully
