Pitching the idea to the class

Today we had to pitch our ideas about what we are going to do in our crime drama. We had to start off by introducing the members in our group. We had someone in charge of Sound- Me, Editing- Hamza, Camera-Louis and a Team leader-Shaista.

Then we had to tell the class briefly of what our crime drama is about?, where we are going to film it?, what props we're going to use and how many characters are going to be in the drama?.

We also told the class individually about our own roles and what we are going to do. For sound i told the class about the types of sounds effects that i am going to use and why also the type of background music that we are looking for to put in the montage.

We have come up with a name for the drama which is 'Face the Reality', but not sure whether we are going to change it or not.

We created a brsinstorm on the board and listed all our roles, and talked about the use of mise-en-scene (setting, props, costumes etc.) in the sequence.
The picthing was very helpfull as we had positive feedback from the class and were told ways in which we could improve.

Synoposis of my crime drama

Series Title: Face of Reality!
Episode name: Silent Murder

The policeofficer has identified a dead body of a young girl, in the lonley woods. Who is she? What happened? How did she get here? As we go along we are taken into a blurred flashback in which we get a brief undeerstanding of what went on just moments before the body was found.
Back to the crime scene, pathologists arrive to investigate the murder whn something strange seems to be happening. Far in the distance, through the cold-blooded killers eyes or maybe even a unknown witness we notice a pathologist, who may just be linked with this SILENT MURDER.

My Role- In-charge of Sound

As I am in charge of the sound in my group, we had to talk about the kinds of sounds that we wanted to include in the opening scene of the drama.

The first things that we talked about the sounds is the sound effects that we may want to include in our drama. We have come up with the sound of the police siren and using music in the background that gradually gets louder and builds the tension in the scene.

In terms of props we have talked about the genre conventions that we may want to include which are police uniform, blood, crime scene tape and knife.

Crime drama task and opening scene

We have been given the task to create a 3 minute opening scene for a new crime drama.

We have come up with some ideas of what we want our crime drama to be about. The first idea is going to start off by looking at the dead body on the floor in the woods, this then leads to a flashback of what happened.

The second idea that we have is about a couple who are planning to meet up. The boy is attacked on the way to meeting her in the cinemas, this is going to be shown in a montage.
The montage is going to last about 2 minutes and is going to have music running in the background.

The third idea that we have come up with is about a gang who are involved in drugs and get into a little bit of trouble, we are not sure what with yet but we have mentioned that it may be a good idea to have gang related violence as it is a crime drama.
