Working with constraints.

Constraints.
 The first constraint would be that of time. This is because some of the production would be filmed at night. Therefore we must film this when it turns night at around 5.30 which means  that certain cast or staff would have to find a way home. Not only this but we must work to a deadline. This deadline would be easy to work with if we were to prioritize our planning and productions. Also we must complete the different sections in the correct time scale.

Another would be the costs. This will be limited as there is very little costumes or props that we will need for the proposed script. Main costs would be perhaps a police costume. This is because all the the costumes and props are available to us thanks to the college. The only cost would be that of the police outfit which would be around £18.

For the personnel we must ensure they are available at the appropriate times in which we would be acceptable for us and them. Also they must fit the criteria for the character they are portraying. Also we must assign which person would be doing what. This would also be the same for the managing of the equipment. Not only this but we must sort out releases for those acting.

The resources we are able to use would be the majority of the props as well as the costumes. These would include the suits and forensic outfits as well as the fake blood and limbs used. Not only that the microphone and camera will be provided by the college. The resources would be used effectively and will be treated with care.

The legal and ethical considerations would be not really be a problem considering our script as the script does not include any ethical issues. Not only this they would not include any breaching of privacy or anything what would be considered unethical. However in terms of cars we can not have any licenses plates as this would be a breach of privacy. Also we will make sure that nothing that would be considered racist against race or religion is not screened. Not only this but there must be no one in the shot who did not want to be in the shot. This would be an infringement of privacy.

The issues revolving the codes of practice would be that of the water shed. This is because the script depicts scenes which would be considered gory and not fit for viewing by younger children. However there will not be any bad language which may be harmful to the audience. Also the production must go by the Ofcoms regulations. In reading through I have identified that there is a gory scene in which depicts a dead body and so would not be eligible for TV before the water shed. Not only this but there is not swearing or language which could be considered offensive.

Another would be copyright issues. All though this would be influenced by other shows it does not infringe any knows TV shows visually or anything conveyed in the narrative. To ensure this we have checked through the influences to ensure that the show does not show any major similarities.

Research an Idea

In researching we looked into the target audience. This audience would be around 20-40's. This was chosen because of the general appeal of this narrative structure as well as people admiring the cinematographic elements shown. Though 20-40 we believe that the economic class would be that of D1/C1. This would be around working class to middle class. We think this because of the gore aspect could appeal however also the lack of swearing while not making it tacky.

Looking into other shows which may be similar to our proposed script one propped up as being 9th in the top 30 on the BARB website which gives audience figures. From this we can deduce that people are commonly attracted to crime dramas such as ours. The BARB would look into listing into which shows are most popular. Not only this but we can see from the time slot in which Silent witness was. From this we can learn that the most appropriate time to show such a show would be around 9 o'clock in the evening.

Not only this but we had researched primary information by looking into doing questionnaires. The people we had used the questionnaires on were the target audience age group and around the same economic class targeted. The response was generally good as the main appeal seemed to be the narrative as it appealed to them through the detective crime drama. Not only this but the proposal was pitched to the class. The response was generally good with few criticisms relating to some holes in the story. However these were plugged through the questioning making the general response good.

The secondary research would be the information gained from the influence into the style of the crime drama as opposed to those we had researched.  This would be such shows as Sherlock and Edge of Darkness.  These shows have been looked into to understand what audience they attract and what in the shows narrative made it so appealing to the intended audience. Also we looked into Silent witness to understand the views recorded by the BARB.

Competitors in the market seem to be wide however the only competition seems to be over time slots. However the shows in which we anticipate will be competing with our proposed script would be such shows as Silent Witness. This would be evident through the BARB's listing which showed that Silent Witness is incredibly popular in the BBC. However another show would be Sherlock which would be key in competition as the detective drama narrative would be fairly similar to us and so would provide to be a big competitor.


Also we looked into the market research.  The market seems to be well accepting of crime dramas as they generally appeal to the target audience. Not only this but there seems to be no other show the narrative structure shown. Not only this but there is although more competition at the moment with crime drama's they all seem to be thriving. This is also beneficial as the market seemingly is quite keen on detective protagonists. This is evident through such shows as Sherlock as well as some others further away like America's spin on the Sherlock Holmes stories Elementary.
