  1) Choose at least   three  TV dramas similar to your concept and watch at least one scene from each. Make   bullet-point notes   on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene. Chicago PD, BladeRunner 2049, Nobody Chicago PD analysis: -Mostly POV footage such as bodycamera shots. -Montage scenes, music, contrapuntal audio is used also. Non diegetic and diegetic. BladeRunner 2049 analysis: -Heavy crane shots/drone shots to show the surrounding area -Liminal vibe theme to all the shots, slow pace, slow music Nobody analysis: -Very dark outdoor setting vibe. POV camera shots. Fight scenes. Lack of music but instead a focus on the use of punches. 2) Write a  script  for your TV drama scene. You'll find guidance for writing a script in the  BBC Writers' Room  (click on the Script Library to read real examples of professional TV scripts). Lay it out like a real script (see right) - it will add a level of prof...

1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? The music creates a "lyrical landscape". 2) What subcultures did 2 Tone emerge from in the late 1970s?  Sub cultures of two tone/punk emerged at the time. 3) What social contexts are discussed regarding the UK in 1981?  There were a lot of riots due to the unemployment rates at the time.

  1) Type up your feedback   in full   including the ratings out of five for each of the categories. Research 5 TV drama concept 5 Language  Terminology and theory 4 Representations 2 Audience and industry 2 Delivery 4 Total 22/30  Strong opening, excellent use of images. Already feels like a wire or top boy style idea, point on montage, POV shots show excellent thoughts behind opening. Some great iconography- pin board is a classic crime drama convention.  Really well developed narrative already great detail. Is there too much for 3 minutes though? I also think that if you need all of this perhaps some of this needs to be trailed rather than shown? This feels like a full episode. Superb delivery and use of images in presentation. Whole presentation is narrative but lacks media elements of language representations audience ect. Excellent for crime genre conventions but would like to see some media theorists. Similar to Chicago PD, multi strand...
