2. Treatment
• My idea is simple and relatable to the majority of my target audience. My
drama/comedy programme idea is based around a friendship group of five 18 year
old students who have just left college and have only a year until they go their
separate ways to university. Once they have left the reality of the end of their
education hits them and they create a sort of ‘bucket list’ of things they’d like to
complete by the end of their gap year. The recognisable location is a
kitchen/lounge in one of their homes. My clip will be 2 minutes long; however, my
overall product would be approximately 3 series long.
• In my research, I found that male university students between the ages of 19-21
were most likely to watch the show. My target audience is therefore social class B
males and females between the ages of 15-35.
• In my opinion, this show will be extremely popular because the characters reflect
the demographics of the target audience. I aim for my show to be relatable and for
it to build up suspense and drama in a successful and professional way, yet also
adding a humorous element to it.
• My production is a feasible idea because although it is a successful idea, the
locations it is set in are accessible and realistic. It will be independently financed
by the crew members.
