My fantasy TV drama will be called ‘Like a Paladin’. It will be aired on a few different TV channels like Sky Max and BBC One, and selected streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. The sequence I have planned out will be played near the end of the first episode. The 2-minute sequence will consist of a chase scene by a member from an evil, authoritative government, looking to steal a sacred treasure from the main character. The protagonist has a fraction of the full artefact; they’re looking for more fragments to power up further and fix the dystopian world they live in.  My protagonist is a teen who’s on a mission to turn their lives around for themselves and the people around them after discovering a sacred artefact. The use of teenagers will make my target audience, teenagers, feel a sense of identity (Blumler and Katz) as they can relate easier to the main character. The protagonist’s goal attracts “The Succeeder” audience (Young and Rubicam) as their achievements may inspir...

  1) WWW: Dyari - a strong response for Q7 on Black Widow. You know the CSPs well in this paper. EBI: Not enough media theory/terminology to develop/extend responses. 2a) Typography - Upper case and bold, sans serif font used; connotations of importance and power 2b) Non-verbal codes - lighting signifies brand identity with logo being displayed as lights 2c) Photographic codes - Long shot signifies/shows power of the rugby player and his determination 3) Propp's character theory - Audrey Hepburn is the "heroine", the chauffeur is the "hero", the bus driver is the "donor" and the fruit cart is the "villain".

A new equilibrium is established once the chauffeur takes Audrey Hepburn on her journey. 4a) Serif font conveys formality and high class 4b) Use of green colou...

  1)  WWW: You have displayed some excellent editing and technical skills throughout this preliminary exercise. In particular, the technical editing skills you demonstrated when changing the colour grading and producing match-on-action for the chase which was a requirement for the preliminary exercise brief.  EBI: The biggest improvement needs to be ensuring you film content outside of school to establish the fantasy genre and not limit yourself to filming at school; this will improve the overall quality of your coursework project. The other thing to work on is audio levels. The dialogue was difficult to hear at the end because of the soundtrack being too loud. Most of the feedback in class was complaining about the sound at the end. 2)  WWW: - I have edited the preliminary task very well. - I demonstrated key skills that are essential for the real coursework. - I have met the brief guidelines. EBI: - I need to film scenes outside of school. - I need to work on balan...
