final name for the crime drama

the final name we have come up with for the crime drama is pathways, the reason for choosing this name is that the character aminur who is the criminal has two paths to go down in life. 1 that will mean he does the right thing and the other is that he does the wrong thing but it is not always that simple sometimes he has to do the right thing to survive. during the drama the criminal will be faced with many moral dilemma's.
we have departed from the previous possible names fracture and fadeout because we agreed that they were both good names but they would be better suited for episode names than the crime drama name.

checklist

because there a lot of tasks to do in such a short period of time i have creted a checklist to help me keep on top of things.
  • cretae a script fo my linked production
  • rewrite the script with added nesaccary changes.
  • complete filming
  • refilm scenes that do not look correct for example if they have continuity problems
  • edit the footage
  • add sound
  • produce the credits

audience

the target audience for the crime drama is teenagers aaged between 15-20' this is because the main concept of wanting to belong to a gang is primarily related to teenagers. the issues that the crime drama represents are issues that young people can relate to and it affects them as they are likey to be in situations such as committing a crime whent they are in need of money for example stealing.
it is going to be aired on channel five at about 8 to 9 o clock because that is when most young people sit down and watch television to relax. also the target audience is a niche audience so there are not people who are being targeted.

re filming

we had a continuity problem with our footage so we had to refilm the last scene when the criminal is running back to his gang and is then finally caught. the problem was that it was filmed at different times so the lighting was not right at so we had to film it again at a more appropriate time.

linked production

initially i was going to do a poster for my linked production but this would have required me to learn how to use photoshop effectively. it would mean that i would have to learn how to use photoshop from scratch because i had never used it before which would have took a lot of time.
alternatively i have decidede to create a script for my linked production , this would be less time consuming and it would also be better suited to my abilities. my script would be outlining the scene which carries on from the opening sequence.

storyboard

we all did a story board each outlining the scenes of our opeoning sequence and we decided to pick the best one to use. the story board initially was too short and did not have enough action so we had to add a little bitt extra into it. we added a scene where the criminal runs back to his gang aand then gets arrested.
