Mind map of initial ideas

These are the ideas of films that I came up with for a crime thriller.

Hacking The Wood
Idea one
The scene opens with a dead women body lying in a forest sounds and sighting of deer and squirrels. then shoots to two detectives who are talking over a table about a murder case. It becomes clear there are talking about the dead body and wish to investigate it. They are in an office room off a police station. They talk about the case someone else enters and thens leaves before being seen. some people hack into the controls for the building and turns everything off. The lights go off and the room suddenly gets very cold and they get to up leave but the door will not open. It is locked. They shout for help and someone hears them but can't help they hear shouting from outside and the policeman look very scared.

Car smack
Idea two
Someone is walking down a alleyway towards a building and he hears a big crash behind him. He looks around and sees someone lying over the fence they are bleeding and look unconscious he knows that they was no car coming a few minutes so assemes they were going very fast.

The Darkness
Idea three
Someone is caught and hold ransom in a unknown location. They have no family and so no one to pay for it. The scene starts with an establishing shot of a man walking along a street when a big group of thugs jump on him, beat him up and put him into a van. Someone on the other side of the road sees this and phones the police. The camera cuts to this being shown on the news and someone who knows the victim phoning up to give information. Before the friend can give any information, he gets a text message 'i know where you live' from unknown sender. Then there is a knock at the door, he opens it and before anything is said. He is shot. The title shows and the main film begins.

AOB2; analysis of six thriller openings

Analyse 6 openings by Thursday 20th December. Bullet point:

• Codes and conventions
• How suspense and enigma are conveyed
• Titles?
• Narrative construction and storyline/plot
• Music/soundtrack
• Camerawork
• Editing techniques and pace
• Setting
• Characters

The Dark Knight 
The film starts with the maker of the film logo 'warner bros picture' and then runs through a few pages of a comic book. Mise en scene is established immediately as the camera pans over the rooftops of a busy American city, possibly New York. The camera then zooms in towards the windows of a building where we see a man inside wearing a mask who smashes one of the windows. This sound is loud and impacts on the audience, grabbing their attention. He proceeds to shoot a zip wire across to another building. This immediately grabs the attention of the viewers. Then the camera shoots to do a zoom in of an identical mask that someone is holding who is waiting for someone. Quietly a vehicle pick him up and just as he is getting in, the camera shoots back to the man getting ready on the zip wire. The camera does an overhead shot of the two men going across. Then the camera shoots back to the car with guys wearing the same style mask and you become aware they must be part of the same group. They talk about shares they are going to take when they rob a bank, believing they will all get a share. While this is going on, there is tense thrilling music goes on in the background. The music gets quieter as they run into the bank and start shooting and scaring people. You can hear their foot steps as they run in and the sound of people screaming as bullets go off. Then the camera shoots back to the other man who is messing around with the security wires. The music starts to get louder as the man sorting the wires is shot. You hear voices in the background to the tense music. 

Se7en
The film starts with the opening credits over a moving image. It is very spooky and makes the audience freak out at the sight of edgy, actors names in white writing on a black background. The spooky music then gets louder. No plot is given away at this point but there are lots of quick, dark images of razor blades, photo negatives and paper cuttings to increase the suspense. In one room, there is a close up of someone sewing both edges of a page together and crossing off names and faces with a black felt tip pen. At the end of the theme tune you hear something like 'you get me closer to die'. 

Skyfall
The credits start when Bond has just been shot and is drowning, music at the very start is very hard hitting then the softer Adele music starts. Black and white imagery contrasts and other colours contrast, there is a mix of sea stuff, and shots of a grave yard adds to the tension and dramatic atmosphere. There is a link between visual and music as the glass shatters.

Inception
The film opens with tense music and subtitles. Everything feels very uneasy and you know something is wrong. It is dark but the outline of objects are lit up to keep you guessing what is going on. We hear voices talking about how the brain works when dreaming. Then things start shaking and you know something is going to happen. There is a clock ticking and then the setting jumps as a bomb goes off, as if the ticking clock was a countdown to the bomb going off. 

The Fast and the Furious 
The film starts with an establishing shot of the cars getting ready to drag race at night and then cuts to the back of the revving cars with flames streaming out of the exhausts. At this point we can really see how much the cars are fast and furious. The camera moves through each of the cars as the drivers line up ready to race. There is a large crowd of people cheering. The camera then cuts to an inside view of the car engine working. The camera moves through the engine very quickly to pull you right into the action as the cars suddenly start racing. There is no music at this point, just the loud roar of the car engines. 

Triple X
The film starts with the film title xXx, then the camera goes to a night scene with light coming through the building, then to a foot shot of a man walking towards a corner of an important looking building. The camera does an over head view of the man walking and then a face shot of him walking down a corridor as if he is looking for someone. Two people are hiding from him who then jump on him and beat him up. They rob an object from him and we realise that this is of some importance. One of the robbers tries a door and can get though, the other tries another door and can't get in. The camera then follows the man that went through the door as he comes into a room where a rock band is performing to a huge crowd. He seems to be looking for someone. After 2 1/2 minutes of the opening, the music goes quiet but there is still some sound it wants you to focus on as the camera shot pinpoints someone. There is some spooky horror heavy metal music playing which makes the audience feel uneasy.

AOB1.5; Legal and Ethical issues

There are several legal and ethical issues which affect T.V programme or film content and sets out guidelines for what is acceptable for their audience. The first of these is copyright

Copyright
This is set out to protect someone's literacy, dramatic, musical, artistic, and broadcast material from being copied by someone who wants to use the work as their own. Within the film and T.V. industry, copyright has several components e.g. the original screenplay. If someone was to produce the film then you would usually get the rights or at least permission to use the works which relate to the film. For example in the film I have looked at, High Crimes, everything connected with the film like the plot or original characters, even the name of the film itself, is the legal property of the film makers. This protects the film makers from other people profiting from their ideas without permission e.g film piracy, burning DVDs of the film to sell on. Copyright laws in America are very similar to the UK however they appear to be a little stricter on certain things such as, in Britain you are allowed to copy an image from the internet and use it on your desktop in America you are not.
The same would apply to Doctor Who which is particularly well known as a series but also for its spin off shows and then products like action figure toys, books etc. Without copyright the show's reputation could be damaged and it would not the same Doctor Who that we know and love.
If copyright did not exist then we would not have the high standards of creative film and T.V making that exist.

Defamation 
This is more relevant to the one show because it deals with real life current affairs and topics that need to be backed up with facts. It means that the one show is not able to say several things that could offend  or harm someone's reputation and therefore open itself to legal issues e.g being sued. In terms of being ethical it is very important that it is only factual or harmless opinion made by the presenters so that no one becomes upset by any of the comments made on the show. The main presenters on the show I watched were Chris Evans and Alex Jones. Both these people will have signed contracts to make sure they behave in a suitable way both on the show and outside of it as they have a duty to protect the BBC reputation.

BBC editorial guidelines 
The BBC has a duty to provide the highest quality creativity programmes while staying in line with the editorial and ethical standards. They therefore must be careful to balance out the quality of a programme and the freedom of expression with their responsibility. The BBC reflects certain values that its audience come to expect like honesty, reliability and fairness.  All the programmes and anyone connected with the BBC must meet these expectations.  For example Doctor Who is prime time family viewing so content be suitable for all ages as it is on before the watershed. The same applies to the One Show.

Certification 
The British Board Of Film Classification is a non government and independent body which is funded through people who submit films, video games and programmes which are to be released on DVD or Blu- ray. The recording act of 1984 means it is a criminal act for video content to not be classified. A works classification is based on the strength of several things the most common being language used, violence, sexual content, discrimination, drugs, horror and bad behaviour which is likely to be copied.

When it comes to the classification of 'The One Show' this would be very easy to work out it contains content suitable for all. With 'Doctor Who' I think it would be much harder because although it is broadcasted when anyone could be watching T.V, when it comes to it being on DVD, it would take some thought to what certification it should be. However with 'High Crimes' the BBFC has given it a 12. The film content contains no swearing and little violence.

In conclusion, it is clear that are lots of things that have to be considered from a legal and ethical point of view and on many levels as there are whole industries who deal with these issues and make sure film and T.V is broadcasted responsibly.

Film analysis - High Crimes

High Crimes is a 2002 American crime thriller directed by Carl Franklin. The main characters are Attorney, Claire Kubik played by Ashley Judd, her husband Tom played by James Caviezel, Morgan Freeman as Charlie Grimes and Adam Scott playing the role of First Lieutenent Terence Embry.

When husband Tom is arrested for murder, Claire Kubik's world is turned upside down. He is also revealed as living under the false name of 'Tom' and it appears that he is escaping the crimes committed under his real name, Ron Chapman.  His wife sets to seek out  the truth and enlists the help of lawyer Charlie Grimes (Morgan Freeman).  She is very certain with herself that she is doing the right thing and that her husband has been set up. The story takes on a number of twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Target Audience
The age rating for the film is 12 as it contains adult themes with the subject matter of murder and slight sexual and violent content. This is due to the fact the director did not want to take anything away from the message in the film being a more serious matter than just having violence. Very early on in the film we realise that the two main characters are a young couple in love, who are trying for a baby. In this scene there is reference to sex. There are a number of courtroom scenes and the film is serious and hard-hitting except for a little humour scattered throughout someone a younger viewer may find upsetting. The film is targeted at fans who like to solve crime thrillers and those who are interested in twist plots. I would say a more mature audience aged 35 to 60 years. However it would be enjoyed by younger viewers who like thrillers but I think a younger viewer would want more action. Fans of Morgan Freeman who does a range of genres and Ashley Judd are both well known actors meaning their fans would probably watch the film. The scenes of violence and scene of sexual content would make the film unsuitable for the younger viewer. The only language used is there to give the audience an idea of the characters personality.  

Camera work and editing
 There are several action shots one of the main ones being the car crash where the camera is mounted on  a motor bike which travels behind the vehicle taking in everything that is happening. This adds to the excitement of the production and makes the audience wonder what is happening. They use establishing shots to show the location of a scene e.g at the beginning of the film to show that they are in a village in the middle of no where. This gives the audience a sense of the place and makes them wonder what is going to happen in this scene. There is a pan of the camera which reveals the dead bodies so that the audience know that people have been killed. As with a lot of thrillers the camera shoots from scene to another scene very quickly. This adds to the tension of the film, for example when the camera shoots from the dead bodies to the credits and then goes to a pan of Toms and Claire's house. There are many close ups of the faces from those who are talking to show facial expression and help the audience understand the characters point of view. At times in the film the camera is placed in a certain position from which we then follow the movement of the character. This is used to give the audience a feeling that there is someone following that character who wishes them harm . This adds a lot to the film making it feel very spooky and makes you feel very uneasy. This adds to the suspense of the film especially when the camera shows their outline. All the camera work is used to not only tell a story but also to add to the suspense and the tension of the film. Within the camera work there is lots of little transitions from one clip to another which adds to the tension and leaves the audience wanting to know more about that bit. The camera shoots from scene to scene very quickly at time a little to fast leaving the audience wanting to know more. This is something film's use to add to the suspense of the film and make the audience want to find out more.

Sound
There is a lot of fast and up pace music especially when the scene is building up to an action scene, this helps to build up the suspense and tension in the audience so that they know, before it happens, that action is coming. In scenes that are more frighting or upsetting the music is much slower this gives the audience an insight to the story and also to make them feel how the characters are feeling. There is sudden bursts of sound that do not last very long. This is to emphasise on what is happening, it also is to get the audience time to take in what's just happened. For example in the scene with the fight in the shed we hear a loud gunshot and then everything goes quiet, we hear nothing. Near the end the sound adds a lot to the film as we come to realise who Tom really is. The sound is very eerie and tense which makes one feel uneasy. It gets tenser as the truth really starts to come out.

Representation of the characters
The characters in this film are represented in very different ways, Tom's character at the start seems a nice gentleman who is deeply in love with this wife, Claire. However as the story continues and he is arrested for murder, the audience start to believe that maybe he is not the guy we first thought. As the story goes on we come more and more convinced that he has been set up for the crimes. However from the point of being found out our perception of him changes into a ruthless killer.

 Towards the end of the film we become aware that Ron is a psychopath who murdered the civilians and some of the witnesses. He is able to not only lie about it but make up a new identity for himself under the name Tom to hide behind the truth just to make himself look innocent towards his wife who really loves him. The fact that at the end he seems to show no emotion when his wife finds out the truth. This is not how I think a normal person would act. The things he put Claire through and how he acts to the whole situation with no sorrow suggests he does not really care about anything or anyone including his wife and just wants to ensure he does not go to jail. The fact he tries to defend himself for murdering the villagers to his wife and even tries to be big headed about it also suggests that he is a psychopath.

Claire is a strong woman who knows what she wants and how she is going to get it. She is deeply in love with her husband and really sure he is the man to raise a family with, however it is not until the end that the audience are quite certain she has made a mistake. She has a bright, full of energy and passionate personality and is not afraid of standing up to anyone who she feels is trying to undermine her. For example when she is speaking to General Marcs and she says 'the question is general, you snob son of a bitch, will you survive me'.
Her love and support for her husband, the fact that she is a lawyer and for her  own personal needs she really needs him to be innocent. In some ways she will go to extreme measures to ensure this. e.g 'We can do this, I will not allow them to do this'. For example she stands up to the judge to get the tape to be counted and she gets quite aggressive about it. However as the end comes into mind and Tom is found out maybe Claire's strong personality blinded her from figuring out the truth that was really very simple.

  Charlie is an ex-alcholic lawyer who has several social problems however he is obviously a kind person who has a wonderful interaction with Claire. He very wants to help her and as such treats her with lots of kindness and respect. It is not until the end when we realise that Charlie really is friendly will Claire and as such really wants to help her.

Misc en scene
The misc en scene is a very important part of the film as it adds a lot to the storyline of the film and without the right lighting, props, costumes being used it would not have the same effect and make the film not hang together well.
The lighting in the film is used to a very good effect of making that scene meaningful and it gives off the mood of the scene. The first scene with the 'happy' couple is very bright and sunny there is light going in though the window and every thing is jolly and nice.  Furthermore  in the next shot in the office it is very bright sunshine. In the working office there is light all around her which relates to her happy life and shows she has a good important job. At the break in it is night time and obviously a little dark but bright enough so you can see all the objects. When they go Christmas shopping it is night but there are Christmas lights up and we know from this and the props that it is near Christmas. When the FBI come there is a lot of flashing lights. In the cell where he is doing the polygraph it is very dark. In court there are no windows and this gives the impression of how trapped they are. When he is released from prison it is very light and all is good. When the camera shoots to a very dark scene and they are talking about who was murdered we know some thing is very wrong.
Props are used well to show the time of year and to help the audience understand the turns in the story. For example we know it is Christmas from the Christmas tree in their house and the lighting and people wearing santa hats.
The film takes on a lot of different setting as it jumps from place to place. The opening scene is set in a middle of no where villiage in Mexico is shows how far the civilians are from others and how helpless they are as a result. All the setting play a big part in the film and add to the way the storyline goes as a way of adding to the tension and suspense in the film. Near the end the sound adds a lot to the film as we come to realise who Tom really is. The sound is very eerie and tense which makes one feel uneasy. It gets tenser as the truth really starts to come out.
The costumes throughout the film are obviously relevant to the location and mise en scene. The start of the film shows the characters dressed in smart casual, everyday wear. We see the couple enjoying a shopping trip together, laden with bags. From their dress the audience is able to identify the social status of the couple e.g. they are wearing nicely cut, good quality clothes that lets the audience know that they are a professional couple who are not short of money. As the story progresses and the past life of Tom is revealed we then see the US military uniform which represents their career, power and authority that the character has. The courtroom scenes include a mix of the military uniforms together with characters in smartly dressed power suits. The costume of the very laid-back Charlie Grimes gives an idea of his character and personality. He wears very casual and untidy clothes and this matches the image that they want to give of him. His costume during the main body of the film fits with the fact that he is a heavy drinker. However, at the end of the film when he is in his office with the newly appointed lawyer, Claire Kubik, he is more smartly dressed and this tells the audience that he is obviously turning over a new leaf and kicking his bad habits. Tom goes from being a very smartly dressed and a professional looking gentleman to looking very vulnerable and unhappy in the 'prison clothes'.  The flashbacks that we see of the murder scene shows people who are very dirtily and shabbily dressed and this tells us that they are very poor and helpless against the attack by the military.

Age range and gender of cast
The age of the characters varies of both men and women of around 28-58 years old. Tom and Claire are quite young and wish to start a family together and as such the director has chosen characters of this age.

Titles 
The opening titles in the film are shown just after the opening clip which shows the dead bodies. The director wishes to draw people in and get them thinking about the storyline within the film. The opening titles are shown once the film has gone to a pan of Tom and Claire's house and continues going until Tom and Claire are talking. At the end of the film the music starts to play and the screen goes black and the ending credits run down the screen this lets the audience know the film has ended and shows everyone involved with the film, starting with the main stars.

The effects of the film with all the camerawork and misc en scene makes for an exciting and tense film which is good at leaving the audience on the edge of their seat.

AOB1.3; Live T.V show The One Show analysis

The One Show is a half hour daily live show which is broadcasted on BBC One every weekday at 7pm. It is presented by two presenters who are Matt Baker on a Monday to Thursday and Chris Evans on a Friday and Alex Jones daily. The show is also known to have guest presenters when one of the other presenters is away. Matt Baker is a former Blue Peter presenter and as such has a lot of experience at hosting a show. Chris Evans is a radio presenter and as such is good at talking and has a huge audience of fans and Alex Jones who has become well known through presenting the show.

The episode being discussed was broadcasted on Friday 28th August in which Alex Jones and Chris Evans were presenting. They are interviewing Karen Gillen (Amy in Doctor Who) and Peter Wright (BBC producer). Everything in the show gives an informal, lively and welcoming feel and this ranges from what they are wearing to how they are talking to the guests and the audience. They are wearing smart casual clothes for example Chris Evans has his shirt open at the collar with no tie. The presenters talk to each other in first name terms almost as if they are friends and feel confident in each others presence and talk to the guests in the same manner. This rubs off on the audience giving the show a laid back, friendly feel and makes you feel relaxed in their presence, almost as if the presenters are sitting in your lounge and talking to you directly like they are one of your friends. They act appropriately as to how the audience might act, for example Chris seems to be 'over the moon' at meeting Karen Gillen as she gets a very excitable introduction. The same way a member of the audience would be if they met her. However when Peter Wright is introduced he gets a less excitably welcome because he is not so well known by the audience.

 The mode of address and the language used correspond well together because they are both quite informal and simple to be understand by all. The show includes both live elements which are filmed in the studio, where they are talking together and interviewing the guests, and short pre-recorded elements consisting of around 5 minutes.



The show is set in a BBC studio with brightly coloured lights and furniture which again gives off a friendly, fun and warm feeling.  The studio has a huge window overlooking the rest of the BBC1 media village studios in London. The natural light from this window and the lights in the studio mean that the studio is very bright and takes away the stuffiness and darkness that the studio would be with out it. The objects/props used in the show are everyday items like a glass coffee table and green sofas which you would find in someone's living room. Some of the props relate to one of the topics being discussed, for example there is a model dalek which reminds people of them and what they look like.





The target audience for this show is pretty much everyone. The age range of the presenters is from late twenties to forty-something. The language used and how they dress is designed to bring the audience closer and make them feel more comfortable. It has an estimate of around 5.1 millions viewers, this number shows just how popular it is.

The episode is presented well throughout and each bit is explained about and keeps relevant to the topic being discussed. The presenters are very good at leading onto the pre-recorded clips and seen to take it in turns to start each element. They will probe each other a little bit in a friendly way into remembering what they are saying this again rubs off the friendliness and the laid back approach of the show. Before they show a pre-recorded clip they would be talking about it and then they would introduce it. For example '

The opening titles on the show has been the same since the first ever show back on the 9th July 2007. Where the opening titles are played, like in the theatre, right at the beginning before the presenters start talking as if a symbol that the show is going to begin it is the shows calling card. When viewers hear the music of the one show there know what it is. For the opening titles to do this they have to be catchy, upbeat and very memorable. The one show titles do this very well making good use of graphics and the colour red which could be used because one it is the colour of bbd one or because it can be put in connection with danger, love and pleasure all thing the show includes to tater to its wide audience.


There are lots of different camera shots that are used in the studio and in the pre-recorded elements of the show. These are wide angle shots which give the viewer a sense of the studio and can see everything going on. Close- up shots when ever one of the presenters is talking to the camera or to show the interviewee facial expression. Over the shoulder shots are used when interviewing the guests. The camera shoots from the studio to the pre-recorded element.


All of the sound apart from the music is diegetic. Because it is live show it would not really be possible and there is no need to add in non-diegetic sound. The soundtrack is the only non-diegetic which is a pre-recorded music which runs along side the title and is what people associate with the one show.

AOB1.3; Recorded T.V Doctor Who analsis S7 Ep1

I am going to analysis the Dr Who Episode 'Asylum of the Daleks'.
                                                                     
Narrative Outline of the Plot
The plot involves the Doctor, Amy and Rory being transported to the Parliament of the Daleks. They lean that the daleks want to be be saved by getting them to deactivate the planet. However within this there are many subplots. One including them being helped from a woman called Oswin, who somehow have hacked into the dalek computer (the doctor knows this is impossible). This is a very funny story. At the end of the episode the doctor finds Oswin as a Dalek. She was converted and dreamt herself as this. Oswin plays her part (which is going to affect the future of the doctor who episodes) by deleting him from the dalek database. The other subplot is that of the long running term Amy/Rory relationship as they come back together. The subplots are all part of the overall plot.

On going or a one off
There are parts of the episode that are involved as a one off thing but the majority of it is on going and stories plots that only long term watchers of the show will fully understand. For example all the stuff about Rory's and Amy's marriage is part of a big story which has been going on since they both started as the Doctors companies and continues until their death in episode 5. The idea of Rory loving Amy more is something that no 'one off' watcher is really going to get. However with it being the first in a series there are things that need will hopefully be explained later on.

The target audience
The majority of Doctor Who fans will like this episode. I would say the stereotypical audience would consist of males aged between about 8-14 years old. Who will not only watch the show but also collect the magazines and the playing cards. It is too complicated and a little inapporiate for it to be watched by someone under 8. I know men and women of all ages who watch and enjoy the show. Therefore I generally think the directors do everything they can to make it appeal to a overall family audience. It includes no swearing and only very mild sexual references. Some smaller people might find the daleks a little scary.

The gerne
Doctor Who is obviously sci-fi with the use of alien mosters and space travel in the TARDIS. However it has got a sight edge of rom-com with Amy and Rory's relationship. It is full of action and suspect that thrill seekers look for . So to say the gerne it would be a sci-fi adventure with a bit of romance and comedy added in just to add to the story.
                                                         
Representation
The main characters in Doctor Who are represented in different ways, The Doctor is that of a very jolly, excitable man who is very clever and knows when he can be silly but also when he needs to be serious.  He tries to make a joke of even the hardest of situations from example  While Amy is represented who is more interested in the Doctor than she is of her husband Rory. Amy is a very strong character who is not scared and seeks for the thrill of adventures with the doctor. "who's scared?". However, Rory is kind and is very caring towards his wife although being a little scared of her. He adds to the comical side of the show and adds to the story line with his on-off relationship with Amy. In this episode he appeals a bit stupid and have a lack of knowledge about the daleks. For example when Rory wakes the daleks and he thinks they are says 'eggs' he is then tries the help them. They are really saying exterminate. This makes Rory look at little stupid and in some way detracts from the situation.                                                

Camerawork
Different effects are made by using various camera angles and shots. For example the panorama view of the hurderns of daleks made the Doctor, Amy and Rory like very infernifacunt. Through the episode the camera is continuous moving though scene to scene zooming in and out of the characters. This create different effects. There are medium angle shot with the shadow of The Doctor adds to the mystery of him being brought closer to use. The camera shots though the daleks scanner though a change of perspective.   The motion of the camera seen to reflect the topic of the scene. If it is an action scene it has a lot of fast paced motion and many different camera angles. This makes it full of tension and adds to the excitement of what's going to happen. However if it is a much calmer scene the camera is stable and cuts off less often.

 Mis en scene
This episode as with so many Dr Who's has a range of different places, situation, props and lighting being used in which the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves in. The setting is very important as it can establish the mood of the characters and add tension to what is going to happen. The episode starts in a space ship with the Doctor in a very dark hell like setting of the destroyed Dalek planet. He is looking very serious and is talking to someone about rescuing her daughter. The doctor knows it is a trick and warns himself away. An orchestral is playing very tense music which tells the audience all is not as it seems. As for the settings and objects being used most of it would be done in a studio with props but for bits special effects had to be used for example the FX of the panorama view of the hudrens of daleks in the space ship (it would be impossible to made that many dalek props).

Titles
The whole title credits is always the same with no footage of the programme it includes the TARDIS traveling though a worm hole as the credit of the main stars appear one after the other. The TARDIS is the only thing that has stayed the same though out and as such is what is recognised as the main thing.

Sound
Within the sounds used it is a mixture of both diegetic and un-diegetic which help to add tension, feeling and emotions of the characters to the audience. The diegetic is sounds that have been added to be shown after it has been recorded. In this episode it includes the sound of footsteps and the doors skewing open/close. Un-diegetic are ever created in a foley studio or from a foley library. However some of it is someone talking. For the dalek voice, a man speaks down a voice modular and then this is added in after.

AOB1 Dr Who spin offs

Within the world of Dr Who, a british science friction series, there have been and continue to be several spin offs. This is material made outside of the filming for Doctor Who but is ever relevant to the story line or includes characters who have had staring roles in the show. Spin offs were shown both during the main series of the programme during 1963-1989 and during 1989-2005, when the main show had a break, and still continue today.  These include T.V and film, comic book and novel form. During the no Who period spin offs were a way of keeping the show alive in the minds of its fans. 
What makes Doctor who spin off so different to that of other science fiction spin offs is that many of the television writers and stars are directly involved in the making of spin offs. 

T.V spin offs
The first attempt at a T.V spin off came in 1981, when a 50 minute pilot episode, taking the form of a robot dog, K-9, and a past companion of the Doctors, Sarah Jane Smith, in a show called K-9 and company. This spin off focused on the friendship between the robot dog and the dog in the pilot subtitled 'A Girls Best Friend'. Despite being very popular and receiving 8.4 million viewers it only lasted for one show. However K-9 and Sarah Jane Smith have starred in their show together since. There adventures were continued on in a Big Finish Production in the 2000s. Following the Dr Who re-launch in 2005 the show was shown along side a documentary series Dr Who confidential which gave viewers an insight into the behind the scenes of the show. This followed every episode from the first episode in serious 1 (2005) until the last episode in 2011 when it was cut to free up space for new talent. 
In October 2006 the first episode of a brand new programme 'Torchwood' was aired which received a record viewers for BBC three of 2.4 million. The show is set in Cardiff and revolves around a team investigating alien mishaps. It stars John Barrowman as a formed Doctor companion 'Captain Jack Harkness'. Torchwood was the first Dr Who spin off to be shown as a full television series. 
The Dr who series of 2006 and 2007 were companioned by a CBBC programme given the name Totally Doctor Who. The 2006 series of the show was presented by Barney Harwood known from CBBC and Smile and Liz Baker from Blue Peter. As for the 2007 series Baker was replaced by SMart presenter Kirsten O'Brien. During this series, an animated serial, The Infinite Quest was featured. 
In April 2006, it was confirmed that the return of K-9 would be in the form of a 26 part computer-animated children's series given the name K-9. It was written by Bob Baker and started in October 2009 and ended (after the 26 episodes) in September 2010. 
The Sarah Jane Adventures aired as a 60-minute spin off starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, a former companion of the Doctor's. There was a spin off of this called Sarah Jane's Alien Files which aired in 2010 alongside the fourth series of the show. There was a second animated show with the name of Dreamland, which aired on CBBC in the Autumn of 2009. 

Film spin offs
However, Dr Who spin offs did see success with short films which focus on the doctor's biggest enemy, the daleks. These were called Dr Who and the Daleks and the Dalek Invasion of Earth, both produced in the 1960's seeing Peter Cushings as The Doctor. From the years of 1987-1994 there was an attempt by the Daltenreys Group to made a whole length feature film but the license was rejected by the BBC. As for films going directly to video, the BBC never give license for any video production to be made and as such production companies are only able to include individual characters and alien races if they are BBC.  

Books
There was also a success in books being launched following the first ever series of Dr Who. The first on the list first published in the mid1960s was called Dr. Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks. This was a novel with a loose link with the second series of the show, The Daleks, In the early 70's Dr Who novels were becoming very popular as Target Books began publishing them on a regular basis. these books follows on being loose adaptation of various Dr Who series. The first three sets of novels did not only appear in the U.K but also in Netherlands, Canada and the U.S. From the 70s this stretched to editions being trranslated and sent out to people in Brazil, Turkey, Turkey and the U.S and also Japan, West Germany, Portugal, France and Finland. 
When the final Target book was published, in 1994, all but six of the serials had been made into a novel. 

Conclusion 
The Doctor Who programme has given off to many spin off. The reason for this is because it is a very popular programme that is watched by a whole family and is unlike a lot of other programmes. It includes much loved characters that people want to get more involved with and follow in a spin off. There are popular actors and actress who have made a name for themselves in Doctor Who and then in some cases crossed over into the spin offs die hard fans will enjoy. In fact Doctor Who is one of the most popular series ever in my opinion to have created spin offs.
