Mise-en-scene planning 


Costume: the protagonist of my story will be wearing casual clothes like that of a teenager. This decision was made so that teenage audiences will be able to relate to the character. 

Makeup: the only “make up” used will be for the faint scar behind the protagonist neck. The purpose of this is to create more of a story for the audience and helps them gain more understanding the plot 

Props: the props used in this product will be minimal as I believe to use of too many props could distract the viewer from the main plot. So the props that willl be used is a bag, along with clothes that the main character will be forcing into the bag in a hurry. At this point the pace will pick up which will build tension 


Locations:
location 1: opening, scenes of nature. - Outside All around a neighbourhood

It is most likely to be images of different landscapes, and outside life which is to narrated by a voice over to set a atmosphere for the audience to follow.

Location 2: in the protagonists room. In this scene you will be introduced to the character and you will understand more of what her role is. 

Location 3: the last scene will be set in a remote area, something simular to a forest or the woods. This location has been chosen to make the atmosphere more dramatic


Lighting: 
Most of my scenes will be filmed in late in the afternoon/evening. Seeing as my concept is quite dark and slightly unsettling, I chose to film at times where it was darkest to add to dramatic sense of it all

Improved statement of intent

Statement of Intent.

Introduction:

 My Sci-fi drama, which is called Break the System, is about a girl, named Eden, raised in a world where life choices are decided by the people in “The Cloud”. Things such as careers, occupations, even the person you marry is being supervise by the ones above.  Eden and the people around her are controlled through a chip that has been implanted in an area behind their ear. Shortly after the plan “new world” was introduced by the government. The idea excited Eden and the people around her as they were sold false dreams. However, the plan is corrupt. My story focuses on a young girl feels that she is trapped, suffocated by the world she is living in. This constant feeling of being smothered pushes her to try and break the mould, she does not want her actions to be manipulated by technology anymore, she wants to live her own life. My mini-episode will end on a cliffhanger to make the audience want more, it will also make them question and ponder over different possible scenarios. My production will be the first two minutes of the “pilot” (the first episode) it will end and on a cliffhanger to keep the viewers engaged and enticed 

Media Language and Representation:

My short sequence will be filmed in 2-3 different locations; I will try to limit the number of locations to avoid over complication. My production will include only one character. The rest of the people will just be extras or members of the public. I intend to use a non-diegetic voice over to set the scene and make the TV drama more understandable to the audience, non-diegetic soundtracks will be used also to create tension at some point in the sequence, preferably in the scenes where the protagonist is running, to build pace. Diegetic sounds such as footsteps from the character running and other outdoor sounds. In terms of cameras shots, I will use a variety of angles and shots which allow the audience to gain full understanding, such as big close ups on where the chip was inserted and close-ups on protagonists’ feet when she is running.  Pans will be included to give it a professional touch. 

In terms of representation, my character breaks the stereotypes placed on some females. Usually, in TV shows and movies, a male lead is included. However, in my production, the sequence will feature a female lead ; by doing this, my character subverts the stereotype of women.  Eden being a teenager also breaks some stereotypes placed on teenagers. My character is independent and doesn’t follow “trends” shared through the internet. in this case, the trend is or was the chip, which was introduced and shared through social media. Eden subverts stereotypes of teenagers that are usually heavily influenced by social media and others around them 

Audience:

I believe that my story will be suitable for a wide range of people. From infant to adults, this show could bring a lot of excitement from it scenes. I would say it is a more family friendly version of the famous series called “Black Mirror” on Netflix. In each episode of Black Mirror, it focuses on different scents where technology is more advanced than it is today. I hope to make my episode as brilliant as one from Black Mirror. I believe that my show will be quite familiar to audiences as it would be filmed in some recognisable places. My sequence will have some audiences question whether this could happen later on in the future. Technology is advancing day by day and with us being a society heavily influenced by social media and phones, it could be a matter of time until we are completely controlled by special intelligence.
