Initial response

When I first read the brief containing the task that we had been set by the exam board, I was excited to get the project underway. I am a very creative person and enjoy doing practical tasks in which my creativity is put into good use.


My initial ideas included that of a world football non-fiction documentary. This is due to the fact that the world cup 2018 in Russia is approaching and one of the set commercial broadcasters (ITV) is always known for showing a vast amount of the games. This implies that it would be a fitting fit for their TV schedule during the world cup. As their viewers at the time will mainly be football fans. However, my mind is still open to many new ideas as I am in the early stages of planning and there are a vast amount of opportunities and paths that I could take

  1. Good idea so far...you will need to think through the practicalities of this though.

Crime drama arcticle GQ

https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/the-interceptor-bbc-the-interceptor-cast This article is a story on a crime drama, the interceptor. The article appeared on GQ magazine. I can take much of the content of this article to help draft my own main article for my magazine double spread feature of my production. I analysed the article thoroughly taking notes on all the different media language elements that the writer used to make the article interesting and for it to seem recognisable to repeat readers (by basing the article around an actor interview).

Seven - Textual analysis

I watched an 8 minute clip from the film multiple times and analysed different aspects of the construction of the scenes such as the mise-en-scene, the lighting, the camera, and most importantly for this particular film, the characters. This is because the characters in this scene are very similar to the characters I would like to construct in my coursework At this point in the movie, in the beginning of act three, after the previous story twists, our expectations of what is to come are already well set up. But here John Doe is very confident and repeatedly emphasizes the impact of his coming act. This raises even more the audience expectation and triggers an almost unbearable curiosity for the climax.

Character Profile: Thomas Skinner

Basic character profile Name: Thomas Skinner Social class: Upper class Description: Murphy’s new partner who is the actual murderer of Murphy’s ex-partner. He paid the ‘criminal’ Josh Jenkinson to take the fall for the crime. He too is very personally involved in the case as he murdered the victim. When Jenkinson can take the torture from Murphy no more he lets out that it is in fact Skinner who is the murderer. Skinner of course denies this and manipulates the emotional Murphy into killing him. Characteristics in the scene: Sly, charismatic, quiet, secondary, nervous, persuasive
