Aims and intentions: Old - substance abuse For my media coursework I will be producing a teen drama called "clouded". I will use media language to explore the ongoing and increasingly fatal issue of substance abuse as well as following the generic codes and conventions of a teen drama. The 3 part dramatic series will provide a thought-provoking insight into the lives affected by this. I will use a refined dark-toned colour pallet with outbursts of colour throughout to reflect the momentary and non-lasting happiness the character feels throughout the narrative - this will also be reflected in the image in the article - it will follow the features through the setting of one of the character (? change - talking about Katie) which is very stereotypical of the genre, similarly the topic of teenage issues such as rebellion and  peer pressure are also very common (change as well) The narrative itself will act as an attempt to spread more awareness to the top...

Aims and intentions: I will use media language to explore the ongoing and increasingly fatal issue of substance abuse. The 3 part dramatic series will provide a thought-provoking insight into the lives affected by this. I will use a refined dark-toned colour pallet with outbursts of colour throughout to reflect the momentary and non-lasting happiness the character feels throughout the narrative - this will also be reflected in the image in the article.  The narrative itself will act as an attempt to spread more awareness to the topic through each episode discussing a different substance that the main character ‘Katie’. Each episode restarts itself with a different issue being talked about. The entirety of the series will be close-ups of Katie, her ‘mum’ and her ‘dad’. The uncomfortable and seemingly awkward proximity between character and lens is done to create a sense of instant intimacy with the characters then discussing the personal event as if telling a friend. Althou...

The ideas of my media coursework have evolved throughout the process: My first idea was to discuss and carry out a teen drama looking into the lives of those our age who have been effected by substance abuse - I wanted to explore this as a topic close to my heart and I feel that artistically it could be achieved. I carried out research and even started filming the character of "Katie" for the role.  I then realised that this would be hard to demonstrate as I had not thought about the physical practicalities but I still knew that some of the artistic shots I had carried out could be kept and reincorporated into a knew idea for my coursework.  After researching in depth for magazines that targeted a millennial audience I came upon I-D, a magazine that I wanted to mirror in terms of its looks and feel, also helped by the fact that it was perfect in terms of being for a specific target market that was the brief (18-35). I researched further to find out that they also...

Research on substance abuse : Interviews : "Have you ever had any experience in using illegal substances recreationally or medically and would you like to expand on your experiences?"   "no" - aged 15.   "I have never used illegal substances" - aged 17.   "I'd say 80% of my friends have tried weed and about half of them didn’t really want to but they weren't pressured they just didn’t want to be left out I guess, there are definitely certain groups of people who do drugs like ket. A couple of my friends have done it either because they were so drunk and didn’t really know what they were doing or because they wanted to impress the group like the boys. I have one friend; my age and she's coming off a coke addiction right now. It all started because of family issues and she did it first to fit in at a party but soon started doing it on her own - I think she does it to numb the pain but she's stopping no...
