War of the worlds: blog tasks

Media Factsheet 1) What is the history and narrative behind War of the Worlds? Orson Welles’ 1938 radio play is an adaption of H.G. Wells’ novel of the same name, first published in 1898. It tells the story of an alien invasion and the ensuing conflict between mankind and an extra- terrestrial race from Mars. The text has been frequently interpreted as a commentary on British Imperialism and Victorian fear and prejudice.

However, the transition between the scenes is a little messy – I don’t fully understand how the narrative fits together. Is it worth considering re-ordering these scenes to make the narrative clearer? You could also think about where the title graphic goes to help with this. Talking of the title graphic, you might want to add the name of the writer/creator (you want as many TV drama key conventions as possible) and perhaps use it to divide

Preliminary exercise: TV drama scene

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. Euphoria Not particularly because of the narrative, but I chose this as one of my inspired dramas due to the camerawork and lighting The movement of the camera is very "fluid" as if the audience is a part of the group The lighting is colourful and conveys messages through this I May Destroy You This narrative has a key element that I would like to base my crime drama on Plays with narrative strands and is in non-chronological order Setting is clearly in London - shown through the music and culture The crime drama aspect can be hidden in the dark comedy at times in the series Heightened sound effects - this is layered together to give a very eerie soundtrack Sudden contrast between the loud music and silence Flashbacks during her day - unable to live her li
