How can you enrich your narrative?
I will enrich my narrative by giving the characters dilemmas that would cause a disruption to the equilibrium of the narrative meaning it is essential for them to repair the problems they are having to face. This means that throughout my TV series, there will not be a consistent equilibrium that keeps the narrative stable and instead, there will be numerous disruptions. This will make my TV series more interesting because the events that occur will be unpredictable and the audience will not know what to expect, therefore creating tension within the different episodes.
What elements can you add to bring your characters alive?
I will use the stories of their past as a main element in order to bring my characters alive because it will help the audience to understand why the characters are who they are and for some of them, how their past caused a disruption to their lifestyle. For example, Clare (the wife of Jack) could have numerous scars around her body but of course, due to being wiped of memory, she does not remember where they came from. After the dreams that enabled Clare and Jack to understand that they recently got married (which is the reason the characters are in the hotel), Clare will have dreams much later in the series which show that before her and Jack got married, she was domestically abused by him which is the reason for her scars. This will cause further conflict within the hotel and is a major disruption of the equilibrium. The idea of abuse came from 'Tyrannosaur' in which the female protagonist, Hannah, was abused and raped by her husband, James.
I also believe that conflict and romance are very important elements which can be used to bring my characters alive because at times, it will bring out their true personalities and it will also make the series more realistic because it is only normal for there to be conflicts and romance when both male and female characters are trapped in a hotel together. The first romance is between Clare and Tyler which occurs before Clare and Jacks's marriage is revealed. Sean will also fall in love with Holly however this is mainly due to her looks and their personalities clash which results in their relationship not working out immediately because Holly does not feel the same way about Sean. There will be a major conflict between Max and Jack because Jack always wants to take control and believes that his plan of escaping out of the hotel is the only 'correct' plan. However, Max strongly disagrees with him because he is extremely fascinated by science and the supernatural so thinks they should use a different method to escape. The other characters are torn between who's side to take which causes further conflict.
How will you actively seek to serve your chosen audience?
Due to my TV series being based around the genres of horror and supernatural, I will ensure that I include elements that are likely to make my audience feel emotions such as frightened and I will also use scenes that provide a great amount of suspense because my audience should enjoy TV shows and films that leave them at the edge of their seats. I am focusing on ghosts as my paranormal creature because they are quite realistic due to many people believing in them. This in turn should help my audience to engage more with the TV series because the events that occur will be more believable, especially for those that already believe in the supernatural.
