Statement of Intent

Statement of Intent



From the brief, I have taken into consideration that I will be producing a Crime/family drama which will have many typical TV conventions to represent crime TV show drama.

The Trailer will consist of diegetic sound being the dialogue and non-diegetic showcasing a soundtrack of a slow melody in the beginning to compliment the narrative. The soundtrack may overlap some dialogues however; it will shift from parallel to contrapuntal sound as the trailer picks up some pace due to the fight scenes that will be shown.  As for cinematography, many of shots will be transitioning between close up to long shots since the trailer is going to pick up pace during half way through the trailer. Furthermore, over the shoulder shot will be essential in this trailer as there are scenes where two characters are having a conversation. This will be enhanced by a 180 degrees shot and many pan shots transitioning between two characters. Likewise with the print front cover of my magazine, I will be using a combination of close up and medium close ups to really express the actors’ and director’s emotions which correspond to the genre of my TV show.   During a fight scene, there will be shots less than 1 minute in a sequence to really increase the tension of the scene. This will enhance the fight scene overall and create many actions codes for the audience. Moving on to the editing section for this TV show, I will be including a lot of jump cuts and complex match on actions to increase the pace of the trailer and imply to the audience that there is a lot of intense scenes.

As for my print magazines, there will be a lot of references to youth background for the audience to relate to or in fact, be motivated by these young successful role models.  In my print magazines, I have deliberately used dark lighting and colours as my back ground to reflect on the issues such as violence and crime that youth face. The back ground of my content page and front cover also corresponds to the crime genre of TV show as it connotes mystery and ambiguity. Furthermore, the double spread gives an insight of the idea behind my TV show and encourages young audiences to feel optimistic towards their goal. 

Focusing on the Description, the Title for this crime drama is called Sightless. The Tagline that will be linked to the title is 'Necessity is blind until becomes conscious'. Every season includes 8 episodes but the narrative continues from one season to another. Whereas for my print magazine, the front cover will be called Epothy and the caption, relating to my culture magazine, is ‘Celebrate culture, be culture. Blumler and Katz theory on user and Gratification can be applied to this TV show since many of the audience can form personal relationships with the characters; creates emotional attachments with the protagonist due to him being very brave.


Additionally, the female characters that are in my TV Show subvert female stereotypes due to the female character being the villain of the show. This reinforces Van Zoonen's theory on the fourth wave feminism as the females are viewed as brave and empowered. In contrast, Male stereotypes are reinforced due the hero being a male actor and are portrayed as a robust and fearful in the trailer. However, it does reinforce Bell hooks theory on 'toxic masculinity' and 'normalised traumatisation' since men are vulnerable to the female gaze and are represented the same as they are in today's society. Men are objectified as Jack Daniels is manipulated to run a fake case.  The TV show also reinforces Judith Butlers theory since female characters in this show play male characteristics for example, being evil and malicious to be noticed and be valued in the society. The industries that I will be broadcasting my TV show on will be YouTube, introducing the first 8 minutes of episode 1 to intrigue the audience and hopefully act as a word of mouth. The Whole TV show will be broadcasted on Sky one at 7-8 pm before watershed to appeal towards a younger audience. The TV show will be promoted on Snapchat through creating filters that portray a theme of my narrative from my TV show. Furthermore Instagram will also be used to attract a wider audience by posting my print magazines to intrigue audience in purchasing and hopefully interest them in my TV show.
