TV programme genres
Following on from the research into E4s demographic it
appears that many of the programmes featured on E4 are in the comedy genre are
have comedy aspects like 'My mad fat diary' and 'Some girls'.
These are fictional programmes that present fictional characters that are realistic enough to be believable and often feature them in real life situations or present the complete opposite and have characters in made up situations to add effect, in this genre a comedic effect could be created or a dramatic effect in a drama.
This channel also features reality programmes such as Made
in Chelsea. Reality programmes generally portray, through film, real life
people in real life situations to create a sense of empathy with the people
'characters' shown. It is often entertaining to see how other people live and
react to certain things, so promising the view of different life styles can
entice a viewer to watch as show.
My film clip genre
The main genre(s) I'd like to create is a crime drama, to make this drama appeal more to the audience of 15-35 I could create a drama featuring a mid range of 20-somthing year olds (to focus on the youg adult age barcket). An example that I am going to review is the show 'Glue' it was premiered on E4, In particular I am going to focus on the TV advertisements. I personally was enticed into watching Glue as I felt the adverts for it looked quite promising as it looked as if it featured fairly relatable characters who were all within the age bracket of the demographic the channel aims for.
Another genre I'd like to feature in my 2 minute film clip would be comedy, l am a fan of this genre and have watched many comedic programmes over the years like 'The big bang theory' and 'friends'. I am also aware that comedy is difficult to write and everyone’s sense of humour is different therefore my solution ( if I choose to add comedy aspects) would be to interject hints of it into my film clip, this could be achieved by contrasting serious, intimidating moments with comedy to create an enjoyable show to watch. A popular example that contrasts serious moments with humour is 'Sherlock' this programme is featured on BBC however it takes in a large audience (of all ages, including the 15-35 demographic)
Another idea that mainly focuses of the comedy genre and provides a spoof of a crime drama would be the film 'Clue', this is one of my favourite films as it spoofs the crime drama, by creating funny memorable characters and a somewhat silly plot. I could take ideas from this film of using spoof aspects as they can create a funny twist on a crime drama, yet I could tone it down and make the film clip still seem dramatic.
If I am able to interject comedy into my film clip I'd very much like to use it however, as previously mentioned, it can be difficult as humour varies from viewer to viewer. Overall I'd like to focus on the crime/mystery genre.
