Preliminary exercise: TV drama scene
Task: Create a scene from your TV drama (crime drama).
Length: 30-60 seconds
Equipment: Your own camera, smart phone or sign out a Media department Canon SLR from Mr Harrison (recommended).
Groups: None. You MUST work individually. However, other people can act in the production or operate equipment (e.g. camera, sound) as long as they are directed by the candidate submitting the work. Keep a note of who you use and how you directed them.
What your TV drama scene needs to include
Content: Your scene must include at least two characters that either reinforce or subvert stereotypes.
Camerawork: You must include an establishing shot, long shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up, over-the-shoulder shot and either a high or low angle shot. You also must include both fixed camera (tripod) shots and camera movement (e.g. handheld, tracking, pan etc.)
Editing: You must include match-on-action, shot-reverse-shot and adhere to the 180 degree rule.
Sound: You must include dialogue and/or voiceover, non-diegetic sound (e.g. music), diegetic sound (e.g. dialogue, ambient sound, foley sound/SFX).
Mise-en-scene: iconography to establish crime genre - actor placement/movement, costume and make-up, props, setting etc. Only one setting should be used for this preliminary task but note the real coursework brief requires a minimum of two settings.
