1. Overview and Screening

Overall, if a question comes up in one of the A2 exams about television it will ask you to compare one of 3 pairs. To be absolutely clear: you will need to talk about both of your specific texts BUT you can choose which pair you talk about. So your choice of paired texts are:

Either Capital (Series 1, episode 1) and Deutschland 83 (Series 1, episode 1) watched with 12B (pages 6-9)
OR
Witnesses (Series 1, episode 1) and The Missing (Series 2, episode 1) watched with 12D (pages 10-13)
OR
No Offence (Series 1, episode 1) and The Killing (Series 1, episode 1) watched with 12A (pages 15-17)

These are an in-depth CSP and need to be studied with reference to all four elements of the Theoretical Framework (Language, Representation, Industries, Audience) and all relevant contexts.

YOU MUST LOOK AT PAGES 5-17 in the CSP booklet for specific details of what you need to think about when studying TV CSP’s.

I will play them in sets of pairs for each of the three blocks, BUT if you wish to study a different pair then make sure you have watched each episode and have made relevant notes on BOTH of your programmes.

statement of intent

Statement of intent – media 

name of film- left on read.

I intend to produce two different posters to advertise my film through including signifiers that link to the narrative I will create and introduce the central concepts, ideas and characters without explicitly revealing the details of the plot.  My movie posters will include a character that is a girl in a relationship and is dangerously obsessed with her boyfriend.. I want to produce 2 posters that translate the craziness of her transition from innocent love to stalker. The plot is inspired by a 2000s teen movie and present a very ‘normal’ life the female character lives. I want to represent her on the poster as scary and crazy. I will ensure this image is of a high resolution, so it is the main focal point on the poster. I want the background to obtain essences of a dark reality that goes on in her mind. The poster will be spooky but and psychedelic unlike more dramatic and emotionally movie posters. I like the essence of the Netflix show ‘YOU’ which has a very stalker based, but includes the narratives key objective. The text on my poster will be minimalistic as I don’t want it taking the attention of the central image. I imagine that my posters would be produced by a small, indie company who are owned by a large conglomerate such as ‘Warner Bros’, the two posters would be created for distribution by a streaming platform such as ‘Netflix’ and ‘Amazon Prime Video’. My other poster of my movie will have the same aesthetic of the first poster but from a different perspective. I had in mind maybe them walking away from the back with the chaos in the background. I want my second one to heavier and more interesting on the audience and have a more serious tone to it, she has no idea what she did to be in her position and is a story of her trying to figure out how to deal her struggles.
