Preliminary exercise
1) State the genre you have chosen for your TV drama - family or crime drama.
The genre i have chosen is crime drama.
2) Choose at least three TV dramas similar to your concept and watch the trailer and one scene from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene.
Killing Eve
The trailer starts with a female looking directly towards the camera. There also looks like there is a crack on the screen in the mise-en-scene. This could connote that there is maybe a suggestion that the female is hurt emotionally. Then in the next shot she points her finger which kind of gives the audience the feel that she is directly pointing at the audience, her finger is also on the crack bit of the mirror this could suggest that she may be the solution in solving the disequilibrium. Then there is another shot of a female that is dressed in an upper-class costume with the make-up done very simple. The setting is very upper and wealthy old household such as the bed pillars which are mostly seen in upper class families houses. There is seen in where there are a bunch of people sitting around a table which looks like in a meeting room. The lady that has dark curly hair looks like the protagonist she is wearing a long coat with a blazer and a shirt. The long coat usually suggests the idea that she may be with the MI5. They setting that they are in is clearly London which is clearly shown by the red buses and the red telephone boxes. The villain in the story is the lady with the blonde hair and she has light makeup on her face.

3) 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).
4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing. These additional shots are often close-ups, cutaways, alternative angles or similar. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word to set out your shot list - you can find an example here.
5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre? Plan your cast, costume, make-up, props, lighting and setting. For this preliminary task, use just one location to keep it simple.
Cast:Me(Meri), Daneeshta(Sara), Julia(Jules)
Costume: Simple Teenage clothes
Make-up: Minimalist makeup
Lighting & Setting: Outside near a park.
6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required and what shots you will complete at each time/location.

Luther
Luther comes on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The trailer starts off with a very fast pace with very different shots. This automatically catches the attention of the audience as they would want to watch the trailer for longer to find out what was in the shots that went so fast. There has been approximately 97 shots used in this trailer. Towards the end the trailer starts to speed up again to build up the tension, suspense and thriller which persuades the audience to watch Luther. There is a man in a long coat walking in to what seems like an office. He is wearing a button shirt with a red tie and long coat. This suggests that he is with maybe the MI5 or with high top police officers working with them. The non-diegetic sound edited in the trailer helps the audience start to build up a connection with the protagonist, Luther.
Riverdale
Riverdale is a show that can be seen on Netflix. In the Riverdale trailer there has been a lot of varieties of non-diegetic and diegetic sound. They have been used to persuade and make the audience want to watch more and more of the trailer because of their in sound choice. The trailer starts off with a very smooth calming music then there is a shot in where it says is as it seems that changes up the whole tension of the trailer to a very dark side with a very dark themed song. Then there is a use of non-diegetic sound with police sirens. This connotes that Riverdale is a crime and mystery genre. The trailer starts to speed up the soundtrack towards the end. In which then they leave the trailer in suspense. This makes the audience want to watch the drama series as they may want to know who the murderer is.
