Aims and Intentions

My current ideas for the production:


Genre:
'paranoid fiction'; 'dystopian'; 'Orwellian'


Channel:
ITV


Location in narrative:
Point of disruption. Maybe at the latter end of an episode to leave audience on a cliff-hanger...


Aiming to achieve:


    A dystopian productions, lightly touching on sci-fi themes, but sticking more rigidly to the idea of rebelling against a higher position of authority and control - a style more suited to the works of George Orwell (1984). I'd like to have a fairly evenly balanced casting in terms of male and female, and I want to be cautious in avoiding stereotypical or gender bias representations in my narrative, appealing to the support from a millennial audience in achieving gender equality.


    The narrative itself still needs a LOT of refinement, but I think I have a general overview of how I want my piece to play out. I like the idea of a deserted environment, an element taken from particularly Scandinavian Noir productions that I've studied previously. This location alone is enough to set an audience on edge, and combined with some overbearing government concept, an element of realism may be ongoing even with fictitious events.


    The only thing that I'm mildly concerned about is that in taking inspiration from the workings of Orwell and similar texts, I'll lose originality somewhere down the line, and that my plot may be too predictable. The 'government' role therefore, could be replaced by something else, be that just a known enemy amidst this conjured reality, or simply an organisation targeting my protagonist.
  
   I think I'd only lightly touch on the entire dynamic and 'aims and intentions' of the characters themselves. In doing this, I can elicit curiosity in an audience also demonstrate that this segment would be from an ongoing series. Some information will need to be given so not to entirely alienate viewers unfamiliar with the show's context, but I think I'd focus more on forming new narrative strands and layers, showing complexity and giving the piece a sense of direction after this 'episode'.
