Preparing to write my Aims and Intentions

In my textual analysis I noted down the common stylistic effects used in crime dramas. In terms of camera, extreme long shots are used to present a vulnerability of the characters, which I will use to enhance the size of the location really emphasising how finding her daughter is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Contradictory to that, extreme close-ups are often use to show emotion, I thought I could use this when the mother, Jodie, is talking about her missing daughter.

I intend on using heightened colours, brightening up the light and dulling down the dark to create a contrast. In my editing process I want to create this image where everything is slightly distorted with its colour or brightness, but only so much that you notice there is an abnormality without picking up on what it is. My idea here is to reflect the idea of a futuristic, dystopian society from the one we live in today, using editing to enhance this.

My production will appeal to its audience in a sense that is not an exact representation of our society. The focal point being on the theme of the show being on technology rather than group representation. Instead it is my vision of how our society could potentially become. My aim is to reflect many feelings millennials hold towards technology, specifically surveillance. Reflecting the split ideas with the younger end of millennials viewing it has a normality – it is the world they have grown up in – and the older part of millennials, where they have experienced a lack of technology and grown up as it grows alongside them. An equal representation will be shown of gender, race, sexuality, economic status, as neither a positive or negative image will be portrayed. I will be exaggerating the relationship of humans with technology.

With the idea of a technological society, for my magazine I want to create a missing person poster of Asha - the missing girl - shown in a headshot with ‘GRL MISSING’ above her head and a code number in a banner across the bottom of the poster. This idea is to reflect the idea that there is a lack of individualism in my productions society, removing her personal qualities such as her name and replacing it with a number. To prevent any audience confusion, much of my plot and traits of my production such as this will be explained in an interview with the script writer/director. I will use this interview (which is a feature of my double page spread) to remove confusion, but without ruining narrative so there are still elements of enigma in my production.
