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.
