Working Title

The working production title of the production is Felony, I have come to this decision as reflect
the basic formatt and the originality of the the production I would like to create, it also
summarizes the word to reflect all the characters within my production, each being a Felon in
the way to trick Tyler into trusting and feeling a faith between all characters that results in his
death.

Format, feature film / TV drama

The most suitable medium for my adaption would be a mini-web series, with this I could use this
as medium to divide the story into individual sections therefore allowing change and adapt the
storyline to the audience, based of the original ITV adaption each episode or storyline would be
different depending on the episode’s character, each webisode would follow three characters
with three alternate storylines one being the actual event, on one individual character linking the
whole piece together, the medium would also divide the story instead of an instant development.

Exhibition information/ Ideas/ Running Time

In terms of Exhibition Information, the precise running time per episode would be around 60
minutes (1 Hour), this could cover a reasonable amount of in depth characterization between
accused (suspect) and Tyler (Murder Victim) this would in turn make the character on a whole
more believable as each character would reflect the personality how Tyler differs in each
environment. The platform for which I would intend to for my production to be based on is either
(Youtube or Amazon), firstly my reasoning for Youtube it’s the biggest social video streaming
platform in the World, covering vast range of age groups so it would help me to cover a larger
and more diverse demographic.
A short tagline
The tagline for this film is “It was just a mistake,”referring to line that either the murder or any
leading narrative is going to follow or is going to be scripted, this could reflect to any characters
relationship between the member of cast to the victim Tyler, so this could be broke down to
show that anybody could have done something that was something that turned the events that
transpired in the death of of Tyler.

Who, what, when, why and where.
In terms of possible interpretations from the existing product, they way I would divide the
production is as follows, each episode would begin in a police questioning, the client (Individual
accused) would be sitting within the room being questioned by either

Dect. Andrea Dixon, one time journalist fired from previous job at the Daily Herald, after publish
article on the ongoings within the British Parliament that have been covered over by
parliamentary taskforce. Now tasked to investigate the mysterious and cause of death of Tyler
Bentley.

Dect. Adam Huntley, has be closely working on an unsolved murder case leading many to
suspect he’s not up to the task of getting the job done and done properly can he and Andrea
and Adam find the murder before they strikes gain, in a matter of time.

Neither of which would be identified to the audience, the reason for this conconcept is to
connote human emotional impact, so the question would come for an individual playing the role
of either Dixon or Huntley but each would reflect an individual concept of the human psychology
that wires the mind of peers and human nature.

The setting would then focus on the every ongoing between the main protagonist and all other
protagonist as to how they link to the main narrative structure, the story narrative is to use the
breakdown to what consequently happened in the hours leading up to Tyler’s death. The setting
would be a modern day as this makes the outlook setting more feasible to work with and allows
for the narrative to remain stereotypical to the character’s presentation
Narrative structure/ narrative arc, e.g. linear / postmodern / beg /mid /end
In terms of narrative structure, each episode (adaption) would have a non-linear direction, each
episode would begin with either Dect. Huntley/Dixon question each suspect individually we
would follow their critical role of how the either do not contribute or contribute in the death of
Tyler, and the finale episode (pilot) would actually show who really killed Tyler and would critical
timeline, with Tyler perspective being the finale episode leading us to who actually killed him.

Special FX / CGI
In terms of effects I could use lights to and tight camera angles, a production materials to
intertwine the story, so like paper tear it apart and then reassemble the pieces to a formatt story,
so effects of low lighting, Mise-En-Scene, this would help to create a more feasible and realistic
effect to the whole production.

Information about soundtrack

In terms of soundtrack I intend to approach this in my work is to look at this composer in more
depth and specifically look what type of pitch, tempo, and instruments he uses to create a
certain feeling within the production from this I will integrate these types of music or similar so
that this could be used to fit in both characteristically and as well as creating a backdrop.

I intend on using his music as he has composed on many different contemporary mix of emotive
and tense music which would correctly display the both backdrop and feelings I would expect to
be displayed in the narrative. Having already looked at Sheridan Tongue he would be primary
composer for my piece. The reason is he has experience composing for the BBC One series
Silent Witness, this is one of the most closely relatable to my production so I think using his
approach and styles would work well and add more originality to my production

Target Audience
In terms of target audience, for my production would between the ages 12A-15 as this would be
hopefully reflect some content that is outlined by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification)
which would be relatable to the stories outline such as the intimate relations between Tyler and
Sinead.

After looking into the regulation set out by both OFCOM and BBFC Regulatory bodies I have
concluded that content within the production would be better suited to the outlined age as
explained within the first paragraph, I have come to conclusion after some content that could be
interpret by younger people (minors) could be interpreted as offense, or rude is not acceptable
to be shown, so the audience I have ruled down to is set to this age, violence swearing and the
stereotypical demnor of characters would not be appropriate to be shown in front of a younger
audience.

I am now going to reference the different groups to which the Medium I have used will work and
how they are related to the content I intend to use:

● Demographics
In the case of the demographics related to my product, I have tried to attract both a female and
male audience, between the ages of 20-45+ this as this is casual laid back entertainment
Streaming but has distribution, as these will be more family orientated as the streaming would
require a set up.
The way I have tried to display gender is having two outer sources (Andrea and Adam) being
impartial to the medium so in context being the audience within the production.
Specifically I have not related any character from any ethnic background, but I have tried to
avoid being stereotypical to any ethnic but I have tried in terms of cultural backgrounds to have
a variety to display a mixed amount of characters that from the British consumers point of
context would be deemed to have the context of being involved in the narrative of my
production.

● Socio-Economic
In relation to the Socio-Economic group, I have focused on my two most critical points A)
Income, B) Occupation to explain the first point as me being the producer and poetinal investor I
want to make profit, so I have tried to look at how and where the most income could be sourced
from I have then looked at the audience who economic would be credible being as my target
audience so ages ranging from A-C2 with these consumers having a higher economic average.
B, I have also tried to base the occupation people who are able to finance themselves o basing
this people from these groups manual skilled workers would fit to my audience profile.

● Psychographics
In terms of the Psychographics of my medium firstly my primary would be Explorers “Seek
discovery, energy and individualism, Values and adventure, this being younger people” as this
is a new show my younger demographic for which my medium is based this would make
appropriate this Psychographic.

And to also include as a secondary Strugglers, “seek escape. Alienated and disorganised, few
resources beyond physical skills, stereotypically buy alcohol, junk food.” These would come
together with my younger demographic who are fulfilled by low level cheap entertainment and
also find relatable content to personalised lives.
