I enjoy different types of TV programmes. My all time favourite TV shows are Breaking Bad, Narcos, Better Call Saul & The Bridge. I really like these shows as they feature gripping narratives, fantastic cinematography and editing which compliments the sound and mise-en-scene to create a very engaging TV series.

Hello! I have been given the objective of apply knowledge and understanding of elements to produce two media artefacts. One will be an audio visual and one will be print based. For the audio visual item I will create a sequence from a TV show that I believe fulfils either Channel 5 or ITV's remit. It will have to feature one of the following: -Key turning point -A significant conflict -A resolution It will be between 2 minutes 30 and 3 minutes. I will then create a front cover and double page spread feature article which publicises my television programme. To complete this task I will have to: Research the remit and schedules of ITV and Channel 5 Complete pre production tasks - write a treatment, pitching, storyboard (and/or Previz) Complete filming and edit Take photos of the actors Research feature articles Use Photoshop to create the double page spread and magazine cover
