Task 2...
Progress Report...
The progress report is a document which I will use to store all of my contributions in terms of our groups production work. We started of looking for pre-production information on similar genres. The genre of our production is urban crime drama as it links to the tasks demographic 15-35 year old such as E4's targetted audience.
Task 3...
Task 4...
Media institutions...
The Media institutions vwhich should be looked into and researched for my MEST2 coursework have to be channels which screen other programs similar to our production. The channel which I've been researching in to is BBC3 as they air similar programmes to what our production is going to be based on. BBC3 is from the BBC broadcasting company which can be accessed via digital cable, terrestrial, IPTV, satellite platforms. The channel is on-air from 19:00 to around 05:00 each night. They air programs for the teen demographic audiences (15-35 year old) such as Family Guy and Top Gear. Our production is aimed at a similar audience to these programmes shown on BBC3 therefore this may be the perfect channel for our production. However, our production has to be pre-watershed and therefore if it's similar to these programmes then it may not work on this channel.
After the focus group session; which has gone ahead; we've been given advice to change the channel as it does not really fit in due to it having to be pre-watershed. One idea which we were given was to change the channel to E4 as we can make it similar to friends in the sense of just a group of people however change it to make it more urban and relatable to youths. I'm now going to look into E4 and it's shows and audiences/viewers.
E4 is a British digital television channel, launched as a pay-TV companion channel to Channel 4. It was launched in 2001. The "E" in E4 stands for entertainment which is one of E4's values as a television channel. The channel is aimed at the same target audience as BBC3 which is 15-35 year olds. It airs programmes from the US just like BBC3 does. E4 shows programmes such as The cleveland show, misfits, Hollyoaks, Friends (not aired any more) and The Inbetweeners. Our production is similar to Friends in some ways due to it having a multi-stranded and by each episode being based around one of the few main characters. In terms of what it's about, it's not very similar to another show shown of E4 and this could therefore be a good thing in some ways as it'll help stand out in E4's programme listings.
