MEST4 Linked production: Research and planning

Your initial task is to complete the research and planning for your production. Work through the following:


1) Confirm your production brief. You write this yourself but it's absolutely crucial this is clear, appropriate and achievable. You should have done this already - the original blogpost was here - but it may have changed as a result of your preliminary exercise.
Your Critical Investigation topic: 
Violence and how it effects people that consume it

Your Linked Production brief: 
I was creating a 3 minute extract of a 1 hour and 30 minute film. I have decided to change it to a magazine as I feel I can get a better grade. The magazine will shine light on underground crime and how teenagers are coming to contact with drugs at an early stage. I will be making the first 5 pages .
Give an example of an existing media text this is similar to what you plan to produce: 
Shifty, Ill Manors, Rollin' with the Nines,City of Tiny Lights, Top boy, Brothehood, Four Lion

Give an example of an institution that would produce or distribute your planned production:
microwave films, Film London, NME

How would your production reach its audience?
cinema, 
Who do you plan to work with on this project?
alone

2) Research: detailed notes on at least THREE texts similar to what you are creating. What are the key conventions? What can you learn/borrow from the examples you have looked at?

3) Project schedule: when will you shoot and edit this production? Make this a week-by-week schedule leading up to Easter. Key dates: we break up for Easter on Friday 31 March and the final deadline is Wednesday 18 April.
Shoots- 17,18th march
editing- 19th to 31th

4) Script - see the BBC Writers' Room for advice/script formatting. If you're making a music video, you'll want to write a treatment instead. This is anexample treatment that I provide for GCSE Media students studying this topic. For print productions, this means writing all the text for the cover, contents and feature articles. Write this in Microsoft Word so you can proofread and spellcheck the work before moving it into Photoshop.

First draft of notes and quotes

NOTES Writer , quote, links , my opinion and summary Media form(this is for the whole movie) ·          The visual are dark which make the actors/actress more suspicious ·          The lighting is very dark for most of the scenes. The daytime scenes gritty ·          The props of an action/thriller film are very important as it would identify the genre to the audiences. These props are enigma codes that help audiences understand the scenes better. For example, if a gun is pulled out, they would be able to connote that something dangerous and exciting is about to happen ·         C-Most of the clothing warn in the film is modern and casual. The body suit warns by Dead- pool is the same costume that is warn in the comic.

What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences?

“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is there.” (Emanuel Tanay) 1 What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences? Cinematic violence has been a part of films since movie making started. Nowadays, watching most films with most genres, there is a high possibility of seeing some sort of violence in the film. The hyper-reality in post-modern films such as “Deadpool” (2016) shows no consequences for violent acts in the films. This is stereotypical in all superhero films as we never see the protagonist getting in trouble. Similarly, in “Deadpool” (2016), the violence is protruding in a comedic way that uses violence to fuel the protagonist characterisation. Michael Haneke once said in “Violence and the Media”: "The western, crime, war, adventure, and horror genres define themselves in no small part through violence." 2 This shows us that violence has had a huge influence on these genres that now are depended on

Critical Investigation: Project proposal

To what extent is the media to blame and are violent films such as "Deadpool" influencing audiences? Angle How will you approach this question? E.g.: What impact are these increasingly violent games having on their audience? Is this simply a moral panic of the 21st century or is further regulation required? I will approach this question in a few different angles to see if the media is the only ones to blames or is there something else that is contribution to this. Are violent films really making people more violent and to what extent? I will also at talk about if family, film, society, metal health or video games are contributing or not. As well as this, I would talk about if gender, age, ethnicity and social class play a role in it or not. I will also include that Deadpool hasn’t encourage any violent crime even though it has explicit content. Hypothesis What is your current opinion or viewpoint on the media debate? That is: what will you be testing thro
