Tv Dramas London Underground

The past few days we have been looking at TV dramas and different types within. There are many different categories such as Crime, Fantasy, Si-fi, soap and many others. On Tuesday 25h of November we started to gather all different TV dramas together to form lists of the different genres of TV drama. We were all assigned one genre to research for homework; my previous post is the list that I had to do.

Once we had all these lists we where given the task to attempt to integrate the different categories into the London underground map, every TV drama for each station, with crossing station having links between each other. We have started to give the different lines a genre which to place TV dramas in. we haven’t got that far we have only started adding a few Programs into the map.

We where all assigned different things to do for this, for example I was first asked to get as many soaps as I could find. Which I did with the help of wikipedia. Many other people where assigned tasks like trying to figure connections between different Programs and genres.

We did have some issues, for example the original lines we did for the genres we had to change because they didn’t link up at all. At the start not many people where motivated, and in the first lesson we didn’t really get anything done, people where trying to take control and it generally didn’t wasn’t working very well. But by the second lesson we where a lot more motivated and everyone was working well and we got a lot more done in the hour then we did in the hour and a half before hand.
