Statement of Intent draft

Statement of intent   My TV adverts for 'The Devil’s channel' will establish a classic horror theme that aims towards the teenage audience. There will be certain intertextual references that remind the audience of their favourite horror movie. My vision will suit the target audience and scheduled time as it will take place at the evening to ensure no young children are viewing it. It will adhere to ASA guidelines because the advert will not compromise any of the rules that may offend people. I believe these adverts will be effective because it aims to bring back the classic horror theme while also adding new features to make it more entertaining. This will be done through locations, lighting and costume to make the adverts even more appealing.    One of the locations for one of the adverts will take place in the woods. I have used this location as it creates an eerie atmosphere at night time which will further add to the suspense. Suspenseful music will be added from cl

This appeals to audiences as they have a set of expectations but we also require differences so it doesn't become stale. Genres have to have repetitive elements for you to understand but also some changes.

Lighting

Roles of lighting: Sets the mood Draws attention to product Makes your actor look better Indicates high or low quality 3 point fill lighting 3 lights create a normal looking scene with soft shadows and average colours. This used in normal scenes with any object in focus. Chiaroscuro lighting Characterised by harsh lighting that creates a extreme contrast between different areas of a shot, such as a characters face.

Intertextuality and values

Intertextuality: One text makes a reference to another piece of text directly or indirectly. Direct intertextuality purposely tries to re-make the scene from another piece of text. Directors use intertextuality as a homage or a parody which mocks the previous text. It adds another level of enjoyment. Attitudes and values in coffee advertisement: 1. It shows that the coffee is high quality due to the golden theme. 2. Trying to show how their coffee is the best. 3. Trying to show how cheap their coffee is compared to other coffee shops. 4.Trying to show how good the company is to their employees.

Class TV Drama

 This was a TV drama created to make the teacher look bad. It was also done to show the range of personalities in a classroom.Multiple editing effects were used to make the drama look highly proffessional like a real TV Drama. This was done to get experience in filming and editing. I also used photoshop to create a title for the TV drama.

Kuleshov experiment

  The kuleshov effect  is a film editing effect  demonstrated by Soviet filmmaker Lev kuleshov  in the 1910s and 1920s. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation.
