Unit 21 - P1: Interpreting The Breif

Our Client Brief was;

"You have been asked by BBC3 executives to plan ideas for a pilot episode for a brand-new television drama aimed at a 15-21 year olds.

The budget for the programme is quite low.
Once you have created your ideas you will pitch them to the channel. As a starting point you will need to:
 Research the channel, programme type and target audience
 Develop programme ideas
 Develop a proposal and documentation for your ideas
 Plan and deliver your pitch to the client

You should present your work using a range of mediums in the planning, production and post- production stages. This could include photographs, audio commentary or written notes to evidence your progression and development of your production in the production stages."

The History of BBC 3

BBC 3 started as a channel on the tv however in 2012 BBC 3 changed to a fully online program and is no longer available. Educate, Inform & Entertain is the slogan of the BBC, this shows what types of programs that they will want to publish and display.

Demographics - We have be given the target audience of 15 to 21 year olds, the usual type of programme the young audience like to watch is something that they can relate to. However young people often watch programmes that are transgressive as they can experience the other side of life through the show. The drama i create will have to have a 15 certificate which means it cannot feature things such as heavy sexual content, violence and drug use however they can be included lightly.

conventions - Dramas tend to be a serialised narrative spread over many episodes, the sound track is very significant in a drama and can help to further the plot. The usual run time of an episode will be around 45 minutes and the series would contain approximately 10 episodes. there are many different genres within drama such as crime, fantasy, superheroes etc. however through research i believe that crime is the most popular with the target audience i am addressing (15-21yo)

Industry Requirements - All programmes delivered to the BBC must be fully editorially and technically checked and ready for transmission prior to delivery. The BBC is funded by tv licences so they are required to create content for all markets.

Constraints - The brief states that the budget i have for the programme is low so it will need to feature basic props, settings etc. The programme will also have to feature very basic or no SFX due to the low budget. Another constraint is that the show will need to have to be a 15 rating to go with the audience.
