  1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis: TV crime drama extract 1: Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience? Extract 1: NCIS:   The initial entry in the NCIS media franchise is the American military police drama television series NCIS. The fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigation Service serves as the focus of this comedy-drama series that blends aspects of the police procedural and military drama genres.   This show is a hybrid of genres meaning it consists of more than one: Action, Military, Police protocol and Thriller. The narrative of this story is that they solve multiple criminal cases. This creates suspense for the audience as it leaves them wanting more and to find out what will happen next which means that it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats which I believe is a good thing. Due to the fact that they are solving criminal crimes, this connotes that it's a crime drama to

 The birds (1963):    In the beginning there was match on action as you see the car from one angle and then you see it again but from a different angle. The singing of the children is diegetic sound as it's actually happening in the film sequence. There's a tracking shot and a POV shot.   The cut between the shots of the woman and the birds creates suspense as every time the camera switches back to the birds, the number of  birds increase and by the end of the video sequence there is a massive increase in the amount of birds seen. This is unexpected. There's a sound bridge  of the children singing in the background as you can't see them singing but it is still going on. Every time the camera switches to the woman it gets closer and so this is an extreme close up . This is dramatic irony as we know that there are birds behind her that increase over time however she is oblivious to the birds behind her until she notices one in the air flying around. This realisati

1) Choose at least three TV dramas similar to your concept and watch at least one scene from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene. 1)   Top boy - clip stef and ZT get back on mails:   the mise en scene of the nice cars (from the money they made through drugs). T he empty petrol station suggesting that it is late at night so no pedestrians will see to help them. The costuming of the tracksuits and the bally (face masks) being used as it is an typical UK road man/gangster costuming which builds the British culture feeling. The props of guns being used and pulled out builds up tension as the audience as on edge waiting to see if someone will get injured. The mid shots during the fit to show multiple people fighting then the close up when they are speaking to show the facial expression clearly build up more intensity furthermore the tense non dietetic sound builds up more intensity. Intense fighting to begin with.
