AIMS AND INTENTIONS                                                          

For my audio-visual sequence, I will be creating a crime drama called ‘Finesse’, it will be about 2 girls who have a talent for committing robberies and target people who have done them wrong. The segment I produce will be about a point of conflict in the show where they break into the home of a man close to one of the main characters, this will lead to a police investigation into the crime and will heighten the girls’ lust for criminal activity. The show will be made for a millennial audience, specifically women because of the empowering, female lead characters. It will also be aimed at the younger half of the millennial generation due to its modern, upbeat style and young characters.

I will use media language in my production through fast-paced editing, this will make the show feel up beat and engaging. I will also use slow motion and ump cut editing to make the show feel abstract and, these techniques will make the scene interesting for the audience. I am also planning to use a range of unique camera angles in order to emphasise the abstract style of the show, such as low and tilted angles. I will use non-digetic sound for the majority of the sequence, the music will be in the hip hop/ R&B genre and will be in sync with the action in the scene, I chose this music style because it is popular among young people so a millennial audience will find it enjoyable to watch. 

I will represent individuals who are young and want to be rebellious who can live through the characters, this inscription will make the characters enjoyable to watch for the audience because they can feel as if they can live a certain way of life without consequences which they would not be able to get away with in the real world. 

My production will conform to its industry context by reflecting modern society, which is a priority of ITV’s when it comes to choosing what programmes to distribute. It will be broadcast at 9PM when the target audience is home from work/school, will have finished eating and bathing etc. and will be wanting to relax by watching TV.

For my print production, I will make a lifestyle magazine similar to the style of Vanity Fair and Marie Claire because they appeal to similar audiences as my TV show. I will have a photograph of the main actress on the cover, she will look sophisticated so that she is perceived as admirable. I plan to use font colours to create a limited colour palette. The double page spread will include 2 or 3 more photographs from the photoshoot which are more casual and show her personality, making her appear approachable and likeable. It was also feature an interview with her. The title of my magazine will be ‘SHADE’, to represent young slang and inside gossip which features in the magazine. The target audience of the magazine will be young, streetwise millennials, similar to the people that the show appeals to through its young characters and hip-hop music. Although the magazine will be in a similar style to Vanity Fair and Marie Claire, the target audience will be slightly less mature so my magazine will have a younger and more fun spin to it.
