1. Research into Media institutions for Twitter Documentary.
Channel 4 seems like a good platform to
broadcast our documentary on, mainly due to
many of its more current up to date issues it
deals with in dispatches, and also on one of
documentaries for example “confessions of a
shoplifter” and “my daughter the teenage
nudist” both of which were widely different to
other documentaries that were being
broadcast on other television channels at the
time, both of which have been widely watched
due to how different and interesting they
were.
BBC 3 is well known for putting on a series
of interesting one off documentaries to do
with social media and other technologies.
This means that it would most likely be the
most appropriate broadcaster for our
documentary, as it would fit in quite well
with the spread of documentaries that they
have already aired. It also caters to a
younger generation as its target audience is
16-34. As this is the target audience we are
aiming at, it is most likely going to be
deemed the most appropriate channel to
broadcast our documentary on.
We will be broadcasting our
documentary on BBC 3 at 8:30 in order
to capture a large audience. After
discussion we thought that BBC 3 was
more appropriate than Channel 4 as
our documentary would be more
suited to BBC 3’s audience.
