Gogglebox
represents a range of people; they include a mix of culture, race, age and
gender. This makes the makes the programme suitable for a large audience as
many people can relate to the programme. I would say the programme is aimed at
teens and above because there is sometimes some strong language used which may
be unsuitable for younger people. I am not completely sure how the programme is
made however I think they have the people sit in front of their TV and have good
lighting behind the TV with a few cameras capturing different angles of their
reactions. I think the main reason the programme has become so popular and successful
is because it is so relatable. It is such a simple concept and so easy to
understand and follow. It’s a programme that the whole family can sit down and
enjoy watching together. Even the programme seems like a reality programme, how
do we know that it’s not set up? The sofas that they sit on may just be a set,
the people may be told how to react and the families may be set up. We don’t
actually know. The programme makes us believe that we are in each family’s
house watching their honest rations to different TV programmes.

Coursework production
For my production, I plan to create a T-shirt, a poster and a box set DVD cover. They will all contain the title of my series, 'Solitary'. There three items can all be used to advertise and make money from.
The T-shirt could have the characters on them or simply just have the series name on. This could just be a simple unisex t-shirt for anyone to buy.
The poster would have to be fairly eye capturing and stand out, however I don't want to use bright colours as it might look a bit childish and my target audience is teens - young adults. The poster would have to link in well with my series to give across the idea of what the series is about.
The DVD cover would most likely be the same or similar to the poster, but obviously a smaller version.
Development of my coursework idea...
Setting
My teen horror is set in a run down theme park during the winter season. Leaves are on the floor and rain is very frequent. The whole theme park is gloomy during the winter season and not very well lit as the dark approaches earlier in the day. The theme park contains many rides however they are old fashioned and rusty. The theme park also contains a few fast food restaurants, sweet shops and merchandise shops. The theme park is surrounded by a lake and there is a bridge to access the park. During the winter the bridge is blocked off as the theme park closes.
Sound
Music and sound effects would be added to make the scene set and to make it more dramatic and tense.

After watching 'Tyrannosaur'..
As I watched Tyrannosaur, I realised how clever the producers had been with their film making. The managed to get the music, lighting, characters and scene setting pretty much perfect as is really captured my attention throughout the film. During the film, we really got to know the characteristics of each person and about their personal lives and they did that very cleverly as we could relate to each character and understand them.
