Hi everyone,
EDIT- For your case study research, primarily you should be thinking about how audience behaviour might determine necessary alterations for period drama production!
Hope you were inspired by the YouTube vids we watched the other day from some peer level work at other schools! Meantime, we're getting on with some theory work.
For Activity 2.9 on page 93 of your course books, we'll be having a look at Andrew Davies as a good example of a period drama writer. Below are some helpful links in doing your research.
Period dramas
Andrew Davies' work, listed on IMDb
Andrew Davies, life and general info
Pride & Prejudice (one of his better known adaptations)
This is just a starting point! Find your own sources of reviews by either critics or historians, as well as researching different approaches Mr. Davies has taken in producing his work.
Remember, the focus is not a research project on Andrew Davies, but rather an investigation into how period dramas are produced, what conventions are implemented / promoted and how this is done.
Enjoy!
- T. Marcus
