TV Drama - How to approach

Showing 1 - Look carefully and identify key scenes - you will probably notice mise-en-scene/Camera first. Make mental notes of things to look out for on the next showing - you are FEATURE SPOTTING

Planning Time - Draw up your table and start putting your notes in - don't worry too much if you have got much in the way of sound/editing. Start identifying your weaker areas and identify at least THREE things to go back to.

Showing 2 - Now fill in those gaps - start looking in more depth at your camera and mise-en-scene - sound and editing can start to come in - aimed for a completely filled table.

Showing 3 - Now hit those sound and editing areas that you have looked at the least - only focus on these - try to ignore the more obvious things and go for the subtleties in sound and editing.

Showing 4 - NOTHING NEW - try to develop the presentation side of things WHY have these features been used?
