Film Control: Statement of Intent

INTRODUCTION:

Control will be a family sci-fi/horror series based on a scientist who created a chemical that makes him able to control other people’s minds. The first minute will just be a series of shots of the scientist creating his chemical in a lab. He then comes home and there is a person tied up on the floor, the scientist then proceeds to pour the chemical down his throat. The person awakes and is shown to be brainwashed. My 2 minute clip will take place towards the end of episode one.

MEDIA LANGUAGE

I intend to have around 2 different settings: an archetypal home and lab setting. The lab will emphasize the sci-fi genre and the home setting will provide the audience pleasure of personal identity to make the audience relate to the main character despite him being an anti-hero character. There are 2 different characters; the anti-hero, Dr J and the princess character Lion. I will use at least 10 different camera shots such as a POV shot to make the watcher more immersed in the show and deliver the audience pleasure of diversion and entertainment as they can escape the routine nature of everyday life and so they can relate with the main character more. Also I will use a variety of angles like a low angled shot of Dr J to make him appear more powerful and high angled shots of Lion to make him appear weak and powerless. There will be diegetic and non-diegetic sounds such as intense background music (non-diegetic) and dialogue (diegetic).

REPSENTATION

 The main character will reinforce stereotypes of "mad scientists" being crazy and evil. The person who is kidnapped will be a male so this will subvert stereotypes of females always being the person who needs rescuing and is in danger. I intend to reinforce stereotypes of Indian men in England with Dr J’s character because he is a doctor and the typical stereotype in England for Indians is that they are intelligent. Furthermore I subvert the stereotype that villains are mainly English and white as my clip the villain and protagonist is Indian which alters the typical stereotype that films/TV shows in the UK have a mainly all white cast.

AUDIENCE

The target audience will be families and teens who are interested in sci-fi horror and sci-fi crime TV shows/films. My film will mainly be in the streets of London so will create a sense of familiarity with British audiences. If people enjoyed watching the Saw franchise, or the TV show Goosebumps then I believe they will enjoy watching my TV show as it is intriguing and keeps audiences on the edge of their seat until the end where it has an interesting twist which will make audiences want to see the next episode.

Research: Science Fiction TV dram

Doctor who Amelia
Narrative:
The narrative presents a third person view of a female who is exploring a closed museum, she is presented as quite childlike as she is seen apologising to an object in the museum. As the scene goes on an eerie backing tracks starts to suddenly appear, this could give the audience a feeling of danger. The equilibrium is when she discovers a box with a letter addressed to her, the disequilibrium is when the box starts to slowly glow and an older version of herself appears. The new equilibrium is when an artifact comes to life and they are both chased out.

Character:
The girl appeals to the audience as she seems quite naive and childlike, this could create a personal relationship with the audience as they may be children or they may have children of there own.

Iconography:
The dark setting gives an eerie vibe and could make the audience feel like there is danger ahead, also as the scene goes on the bright lights conotes to the future and science-fiction films.

Setting:
The setting of a museum has connotations of history which could foreshadow that history will be made in the coming hours, also the stuffed animals (eg a polar bear) could presage danger.

Humans trailer
Narrative:
It is set in the near future where robots are created to help humans in their day to day life, from the beginning the trailer makes it clear that something is going to go wrong and this is shown when the robots become creepily realistic, they are shown to be watching people while they should be staying in one spot. The music suddenly becomes louder and builds up tension until finally it is the end of the trailer.

Character:
There are different characters in this trailer for example the first female robot (Mia) she gives off a friendly and helpful vibe until her owners start suspecting something, she suddenly becomes more eerie and the humans feel uncomfortable around her"

Iconography:
The bright white lights give off a very futuristic vibe, for example one of the robots eye colour is an unnatural bright green, this shows the audience that this is set in the future and everything is very advanced.

Setting:
The show is based in London which could make it more relatable to British audiences, there is a scene in a Forrest which conotes the being lost and not knowing what is going on.





Black mirror season 4 trailer
Narrative:
It is set in the future where technology has advanced sufficiently, robots and AI help in the lives of humans for example there is a self driving burger van. The trailer shows many people looking distressed from the very beggining, this could show that AI is ruining the world and the dangers of technology.


Character:
There are many different characters in this video for example a character who is mimiking star trek, they all look angry and distressed.


Iconography:
Some scenes are shown in a house which is pure white which could show the futuristic vibe of this show. Also there is a scene in space where there is barely any lighting so this may show the emptiness of space.


Setting:
There are many different locations that this is set in for example a futuristic bright white house which shows how people in the future are living in luxury. Also there is a scene in space with regular people which could show how much technology has advanced.
