Quote and status analysis grid.
Task 1:
D) Conflict
Meeting:
The Walking Dead/Game Of Thrones differences
Style: Script (TV Show) Game Of Thrones is set in a fantasy world.
Content: The script is simpler to 'Game of Thrones' (Script) the scenes follow the script exactly to what is has been written there is not much of a change compared to 'Game of thrones' where parts of the script have been taken out or changed to suit TV and audience.
Narrative structure: The start is the present then changes to a flashback. This makes the structure confusing to the audience as they get lost with the story line. However the game of thrones script is very linear.
Genre: The walking dead is a Horror, Drama which is similar to game of thrones. For example The Walking Dead includes "When she turns around, we see that she is a walker with missing parts of her cheek." This represents the horror genre because we are getting a taste of what is to come in the show.
Target Audience: Age rating for the walking dead is a 15 (season 1) which limits the audience who are able to watch it. Game of thrones is an 18 (season 1 onwards) that limits the audience as well as only adults are able to watch the TV show.

Task 2:
Group character brainstorming:
My character:
Ideas for story-hacker vigilante tries to get justice by any means necessary.
settings-Cityscape
character (Amanda)- 17, female, 5ft 8, hacker, brown hair, dragonfly tattoo on her arm, leather biker jacket, jeans. She is being tracked down by a government group trying to stop her. In her pocket she has a phone, an engraved zippo lighter, When she is tracking down the killer she wears biker clothes but she wears smart clothes when going to work in her office as a lawyer.
Close encounter with hunter- She is in an elevator when the agent hunting her down gets in the elevator with her, she starts to panic thinking she going to get caught but then the agent gets out the elevator so he can meet with a client to help track down the hacker. He doesn't realise he was just with the hacker in the elevator.
She is trying to stop crime lords by stopping their murders and their prostitution crimes.
My character mood board:
Rennie's character:
character (Samantha) - female, tough, brown hair, city girl, she cleans up crime scenes for criminals so no one knows they committed they the crime, she's really clever.
Setting- city
She frames a crime on someone who is leader of a group so they get put in jail, this causes the gang leaders gang to try and hunt her down. She gets caught later on helping cover up a crime then she is kidnapped and the kidnappers tell her that people are after her. When she finds this out she starts helping the group to solve crimes while they try to help protect her. There would be a different crime every episode.
Adam's character:
Character (Adamelia Cholland)- She starts off in prison and her dad is trying to break her out of prison, she gets out of prison and she helps her father rob a bank, this causes people to try and hunt her down so there would be car chases and fight scenes.
Setting- London.
Task 3
My Script work:
Script feedback:
The length is good, the opening is descriptive.
The spelling is correct and it adds emphasis, but there are a few cases where grammar is incorrect.
The story makes sense and is well paced.
Standard English is used one character used " 'em" instead of them so it works well.
My idea: Narrative arcs:
Amanda(Main character) is hunting down her sister's killer.
Amanda is struggling to make progress as government agents are trying to capture her as she is a hacker.
Amanda also struggles with a love life with someone she doesn't want to get in danger.
Episode arc:
The episode arc will be showing the death of Amanda's sister and her encountering the killer after 4 years. She is also struggling to stay away from government agents trying to track her down.
Opening scene:
The opening scene will start off with the two sisters driving down a open road through a valley, while herself and her sister are singing to the radio she sees someone on a motorbike wearing a helmet with a strange dragonfly on it. The motorcyclist pulls up close and shoots her sister in the head and because the sister is the one driving the car flips.
Conventions of crime dramas:
Props: Guns, weapons, blood.
Settings: City's, roads in rural areas. alleyways, apartment buildings.
Characters: Criminal/ murderer, Detective, criminal trying to do something to redeem themselves, love interest that gets caught up in the problems.
Narratives: Main character is hunting or being hunted by a gang or government, people die and the Main character is trying to find the murderer.
My opening scene:
The opening scene will start off with the two sisters driving down a open road through a valley, while herself and her sister are singing to the radio she sees someone on a motorbike wearing a helmet with a strange dragonfly on it. The motorcyclist pulls up close and shoots her sister in the head and because the sister is the one driving the car flips. The title sequence would happen here. The next scene is her jumping up from her bed with tears in her eyes as she has been having the same dream reminding her of the day her sister died. she gets out of bed and starts getting ready to head for work as she leaves her apartment building she goes to a vending machine and takes out her phone and as she presses a button on her phone and the drink pops out of the vending machine, she walks off and gets in her car without paying she takes a sip of her drink, adjusts a photo of her and her sister which is on the sun visor. As she is adjusting the photo we see a tattoo on her arm and its the exact same dragonfly that was on the motorcyclists who killed her sister's helmet, she puts the visor up and starts the car and drives off to work.
Story based script adaptation
Finished script draft
Script draft 1 feedback:
How could it better match the brief:
By having more drama
and conflict between characters, or by having more crime than secretive hacking
and a death.
Weaknesses:
Grammar and spelling
could be improved – makes some parts confusing. Characters
Suggested revisions/changes (especially in regard to character voice or show don’t tell)
Often tells rather
than shows, which can get boring for the viewers. Grammar and spelling needs to
be fixed through out the script
Any suggestions on characters
Characters could be developed further, including appearances, accents,
personal features, dialect, etc. You only show age and gender at this time.
