2. BBC Three was a British over-the-top Internet television
service operated by the BBC. It was launched on 16
February 2016 as a replacement for the linear BBC Three
television channel, which closed down the same day but
was later relaunched on 1 February 2022.
In general the BBC don’t cover the specific audience age
in there usual channel , they also have a watershed
however its aimed more towards adults over the age of
20s.
BBC three starts at around 7pm and ends at 4am
targeting those younger audiences as they many be
finishing school and college etc. aiming at those 16-34.
BBC Three is made to represent young people all
over the uk.

3. The BBC as a brand started in 1922. they create and publish content all around
the world, returning around £ 200 million every year. They have many different
genres such as sport, drama and reality.
The BBC follow rethain principles that consist of inform , entertain and educate.
When the BBC started there was no content on radio or television on a Sunday
as he believed that Sunday was a day of church. In the beginning they had very
strong principles.
The BBC are classed as a conglomerate as they use vertical integration. They
produce and distribute all of their own content. They broadcast all of this on their
own channel. The BBC make their money from tv licences that the consumers
buy to be able to use a television. When it comes to television licences , there
are many rules and regulations around it containing a PSB remit.
The BBC can not chase a mainstream audience , as well as this they cant have
certain advertisements. They target a niche audience.

4. My subject is music there aren't many music documentaries out there as it isn’t as
popular as some of the other subjects that documentaries have been based on.
I would like to express the culture of music for example showing how music has
changed over the years and that there are loads of opportunities for young people
to make music.
I am going to explain that technology has impacted this as new streaming
platforms have been made.
For example I watched a documentary on Woodstock and looked at how the
issues in the festival are more known now as it was brought to light through a
documentary.

5. Usual documentaries have many codes and conventions. There is usually the voice of god
that would talk and highlight what is happening in the scene as well as explaining what is
happening with the talking heads. They add non diegetic sounds to alternate the mood.
There is usually a talking head being interviewed by the camera crew getting personal
information to drive the story line. When doing this a close up mid shot is usually used to
portray the emotion and story line so that the audience is focused on the talking head and
not the surroundings.
As I am wanting to do my documentary on music, I have looked into a documentary on a
music festival. ( Woodstock trainwreck 99 Netflix ) in this documentary there are many
talking heads as they are the festival attendees. There's are some voices of god as there
was some reporters are speaking over the scenes top indicate what is happening. There are
no recreations and there are many flashbacks of the actual event.

6. BBC Three target their audience at 16 year olds to 34 year olds. They have a
creative focus on ideas that can engage 16-24 year-olds by reflecting their
experiences and priorities in an authentic way.
BBC explained that the channel is however “looking at pre-watershed shows to
either commission or reversion to make them age-appropriate.
the BBC had three aims when they first started : The remit of BBC Three is to
bring younger audiences to high quality public service broadcasting
through a mixed-genre schedule of innovative UK content featuring new
UK talent.

7. Northern Voices is a scheme for exciting diverse writing
talent based in the North of England. The group is made
up of ten writers, who will undertake a 12 month
development programme, looking to expand their writing
skills and break in to writing for broadcast.
People will be inspired to
write and learn as well as
develop their voices and
work to create something
amazing and hopefully
share it with the
consumers of BBC Three
