F.M.P S.W.O.

T Analysis
By Harry Burbidge

Strengths:
My F.M.P is a drama thriller, containing a dark and tense atmosphere
throughout.
This contrasts greatly to my previous F.M.P, a light hearted adventure
comedy children programme (Blue the Dog: An unlikely hero).
My F.M.P contains a twist ending with the antagonist, as initially we
believe he is intending to kill the protagonist, when we learn in the end,
the antagonist has killed himself. Potentially putting audiences of guard
and challenging their impression of the antagonist, due to hearing him
have not such a good quality life (I.e lack of self esteem, only friend his
grandfather and not having any friends), potentially justifying his actions
earlier (sending threatening messages to protagonist, to make him self
feel more superior as well as noticed).

A thriller genre contains very suspenseful and tense sequences. I


personally feel I am reasonably good at creating rather smooth editing
scenes. Additionally, I am reasonably good at coming up with different
shot types, which is a common convention in this genre (e.g. canted
angles).

The Thriller genre usually incorporates generically modern locations, in

order for suspenseful/tense scenes to strike more impact into audiences.


I personally feel my house and village community, look reasonably
modern and plain enough.

Weaknesses:

Whether characters are realistically convincing enough and their actions


throughout the story coordinate effectively with the characters personae
(e.g. their morals determining them what to do - Dave modestly kind,
decides to confront Eric about the messages, rather than wanting to call
the police).

Finding the correct cast and whether they can be made available/get to
the locations/understand the character well enough.

Whether locations are actually modern enough. Some elements of the


village location may seem quite eccentric.

Creating an appropriate act structure, regarding the characters actions


and personalities, as well as realistic continuity.

Opportunities:

A friend of mine, may potentially exhibit a similar personae to my


protagonist. However there maybe the risk of him not being available all
the time. (will need to verify with Tutor, actors appropriateness).

Will be able to explore new shot types, as well as extend my knowledge


of low key lighting to create a slihouette figure for the antagonist in the
end scene.

Threats:
Actors availability (will need to ask when they cannot be available and
ask for them to ensure they make no other commitments for scheduled
production times).
The weather, as heavy rain and thunder may occur.
Actors sudden opposition to wanting to act (will need to have them sign a
talent release form and verify their understanding that they will not be
able to withdraw from taking part, unless of course otherwise there are
complications/a good enough reason for them to not want to participate
suddenly).
