Statement of Intent
My film will be shot in four main locations: the street, a house, a school and a park. Other than coming of age this film also addresses 2 more themes: drama and arrogance. In my trailer I'm going to use slow, light hearted yet slightly intense to relate to the relationship between Charlotte and Ashley.

This film is about a girl called ashley who starts to bully a new girl called charlotte to stay at the top of the school hierarchy. It follows a 3 act structure. In act one we meet Ashley as a popular girl, we do not yet see her bullying or any negativity in her life. Then in act two, Charlotte is introduced as a new girl and we see Ashley starting to bully and be quite spiteful which also leads to Charlotte leaving the school and no one knows where she has gone. In act three, Ashley then realises her wrongs and starts being a nicer person. Unlike most typical mean girl coming of age films this shows the nice girl throughout the film regardless of the bullying and the audience also get to meet the real Ashley.

It targets young people as it is about the high school hierarchy which represents everyone in school and shows perspectives from different type of people which would relate to all different young people. The story line also sees the mean girl as a victim to society instead of seeing her as a bullying villain which attracts the audience as the do not actually know what is going to happen.

The trailer will use non diegetic sound voice over as ashley thinks aloud. There will also be non diegetic background music throughout the trailer that'll match the cuts.

The cuts in the trailer will vary as some will be quite long to give the audience understanding and also short to entice the audience to watch the movie as they want to know more.

As this story is only based on one person, there will be quite a few mid shots and close ups. The mid shots will often show the main characters at the centre to show that she is the centre of attention.

Natural lighting will be used to show the realism of school life. It will be set in quite basic teen life settings as shown above for my locations.

The Killing CSP Research

Media Language The use of noir visual style, conventions of the police procedural and multiple narrative strands, The Killing provides a rich area of study for media language, which would form the foundation for work on the other theoretical frameworks. Analysis Should Include Mise-en-scene analysis Costume: the detective wears a jumper and she is fully covered which may make her appear smarter as she is not sexualised and also dedicated to her work. Light: low lighting for danger. Semiotics: how images signify cultural meanings Not being sexualised signifies independence dark lighting signifies danger surprise party signifies danger/ actual police issues Narrative The Killing uses binary oppositions to drive the narrative forward. The way the binary opposition is resolved may have ideological significance. The oppositions that The Killing uses is good and evil, dark and light/night and day, hero and villain.  Knights theory of prolonging the inevitable can b

No Offence CSP Research

Media Language No Offence is a mainstream television series in which the codes and conventions of the police procedural crime drama are intertwined with aspects of social realism. Detailed analysis of this media form including the process through which media language develops as genre will provide students with an opportunity to understand and reflect on the dynamic nature of genre. Analysis Includes: Mise-en-scene analysis: Costume: Dinah is seen first wearing pink which demonstrates that she is quite girly and probably has other stereotypical feminine features. Then in the second scene she is dressed very formal which presents her as a more serious person. After the first scene all the women are covered up and are therefore respected. Lighting: Often in this series when there is a bad situation it is usually at night. The chase scene was filmed late with the stereotype that everything bad happens at night. The scene where they find the girl in the river is also filmed in t

The Voice CSP Research

Media Language The Voice uses codes and conventions to influence meaning. They value black people and like to make them feel superior and strong and independent. They bring racist issues and discrimination problems to the light to relate to their specific audience. They use images of mainly black people to get their views and values across and to attract their target audience. They also have quite a colourful site to show support for 'coloured' people and present it in a much more positive term. The images used are often not photoshopped and are natural which gives a real view of people which could better relate to their audience. The Voice uses semiotics to create a narrative of constructing the world. By presenting content of mainly black people suggests that the world is becoming more diverse and it is not based on only white people in the media. Black signifies diversity. Colour signifies race and mainly black people. The title The Voice signifies the voice they giv
