Summer Project: coursework planning

 1) Research: Science Fiction / Fantasy TV drama endings

Clip 1: Class Episode 4

Narrative: we can see the drama from April and her father as they resolve the problem when April suddenly and unexpectedly cures her mother from disability. 

Character: April seems to us that she is the main character with her mother that has disability and they are strong independent female characters and they subvert the female stereotypes. there is April is father as her seems weak next to April and she has control over him.   

Iconography: April had the swards when she hurt her father and slit his arm as you can see the violence and blood coming out of it as he is in pain. there is the camera shots when the camera angle was at the bottom to show April is power and strength where the other shot was shown from the top to show his weakness towards April. 

Setting: this was in April is backyard out side her house to suggest that its her personal family problems and its only about them. this shows personal identity towards April and her family. 


Clip 2: The 100

Narrative: the story is communicated as this blonde women was lost in a forest and only had her dog as she got lost from her friends , and later on at the end there was someone there to help as she found her friends.

Character: there is the blonde women as she looked independent , also there is another women that looked like playing a character of an alien or a weird sci-fi. there is at the end the main character is friend group that she finally found. also she had a dog with her as it also sort of lead her the way.

Iconography: the strange alien character had lots and all black make up over her face that kind of looks like a mask trying to make her look strange and not a normal human being. the  two different costumes of the women and the strange character suggests the difference and how they are opposite and different creatures , we see this when the other character suddenly appears and had a costume of everything black.    

Setting: in the beginning of the clip it shows that they wear in a dark place and they reached the light this might suggest that they are close in the brightness and a clue to foreshadow for us for what is going to happen next. then it shows long trees and how they are in a dystopian horror forest. it also shows the audience things and these places that they do not get to see in real life. Also this gets personal relationship with the character and audience from her emotions that tells us how worried and terrified she is.  


Clip 3: Stranger Things

Narrative: this clip shows us that there is conflict between the children and the creature, we see the monster attacking the 3 boys but the one girl fights back and protects them. the girl then kills the monster with her superpowers and saves them all. the story tells us science fiction and sci-fi in it. 

Character: there is the 3 boys and the one girl who saved them from the strange monster that is fighting the boys. this subverts the stereotypes of female characters and the girl shows us that she has this power that the boys don't and she can do things that the boys cant. 

Iconography: in the area it was dark and there was light that kept flickering to get the audience more interest and excitement and shows us the horror and worry through the boys and their faces, the flickering light also suggest the time they are in conflict, horror or in danger. As this also give personal relationship and entertainment with the audience 

Setting: this clearly suggest it is science fiction as there is the strange creature that looks like its from another world , this shows the audience thing they can never see in real life  and make them interested in where it came from .they are all in a haunted mall or shopping area that is broken down.
