goggle box's

goggle box is a t.v. series currently in its 4th series and it shows how people all over England react and think about the latest stories and films shown on tv and in this it will be split up in 4 pieces to; representation, audience, message, production value.

Audience: the audience of the tv program is 16 years and above so it dosent get seen by the pre watershed audience but it is in the end older family audience as it has the x-factor for the teens, a poetical stories for the older generation of watchers and taken staring Liam nelson for the adult part so its not for everyone but its for the general public as they have most nationality that live in England and from all occupations such as a reverend and a wielder and students so they do have every stretch of life from what is shown.

Representation:
they have a different family which represents a weird stereotypy such as there are two best friends that are both black and the producer have got alot of the scenes where they are eating as well as watching.
while they have a reverend that still watches things like taken which is a violent film even though we are never told her religion but most religions say that violence isn't a good thing so why is she saying that the taken film is a very good one even though its nothing but violence.
so in goggle box they uses alot of stereotype's 

production value:
in the tv show they uses two cameras one for a wide shot and one for close ups it also used a small team due to lack of space while working. they also used the house lights instead of brought ones from a studio to make it seem more natural to the audience.

message: the message i believe behind this is that not matter what race,sex,age,gender or address you are if you have a interest chances are someone will have a similar or same interests which not only fulfils one of mazlowes needs but also shows a reason why we watch t.v. to be social and be together with similar intrests

charecter development

How can you enrich your narrative?
i can enrich my narrative by making it so the characters can be anyone on the street as they go threw real life problems that is faced modern day e.g. a family member leaving- looking for jobs and no one hiring you because of a disablity- or even losing someone your close to.

What elements can you add to bring your characters alive?
give them there depressing backstory yet funny little bits about them such as one is a obsevie compulsive while someone is delexyis while someone is clingy or just stupid


How will you actively seek to serve your chosen audience?
by communicating with them with social medias and if the show was to run for long enough and gain a following that is when the merchendise of the t-shirts and mugs and all the novelty things would come out but out of the start the only thing really for sale would be posters
