one from Film Network known as the Ghost Village
Project.
Key Findings of Research Method

a) Secondary Quantitative Research
From the research I have found out three key things. These were that:

•   I discovered that over 32 factual programs were published on Channel 4 which
    were almost similar to my documentary . For example, 10 Years Younger,
    Extreme Male Beauty, How to Look Good Naked and Katie: My Beautiful
    Friends.
•    On BBC Three I have found out again that over 33 factual programs were on
    that were similar to my documentary. And that were out in the current market. For
    example, Snog Marry or Avoid? On BBC Three I have find out that my
    documentary could best fit in on the Arts, Culture & the Media factual
    programs. For instance, Great Movie Mistakes because it is very interested just
    like my documentary and my documentary's title would be Music Censorships ,
    which can relate to the title of the factual market. In addition, my documentary
    also deals with government censorships and music videos.
•    I have also found out after conducting the secondary quantitative research across
    different channels what and how many factual programming there is, which I
    have stated above.
The One Show and the Ghost Village documentary comparison
b) Primary Qualitative Research Where I will be analyzing and comparing two factual programs. For
     example, one from the One Show and another one from Film Network known as the Ghost Village
     Project.
Through analysing this documentary, I have found out that for my documentary I will be presenting the
     documentary, at the beginning, just like the One Show documentary and the Ghost Village
     documentary where there were graffiti artists introduced with a voice or a presenter.
By comparing the two documentaries, I have discovered that both of them have used voice over,
     relevant cutaways, Vox Pops, expert opinions, a range of different shots.
Both of the documentaries were documenting an aspect of reality.
 In the One Show the presenter participates in the documentary where she discusses the show to the
     target audience. Similar to the One Show, I will make a participatory documentary too.
 The Ghost village documentary has often used close ups, rule of thirds, titles to introduce the name of
     the documentary, which has inspired me to plant the key findings in my documentary too.
I will put a lot of emphasis on lighting in my documentary, as it is the most important part of a
     documentary and it conveys different interpretations to the target audience.

As an inspiration, I will use the key findings that I have find out from comparing the two short
    documentaries in my documentary. For instance, I want to start my documentary with a scene of
    the SKY News program talking about government censorships on sexually explicit music videos,
    followed by voice over of a narrator talking relevant about the issue to the target audience.

Some of the things that I will ask them is:
-Does factual programming appeals to you. For instance,       The Vox Pops will enable me to obtain their personal opinions
Skinny vs. Super Size or embarrassing bodies.                 and views about the factual programmes.
- Then, I will ask them what is it about these factual
programs that appeals to you?
- Why do these programs appeal to you?
Key findings of my research method




• Secondary Quantitative Research
 Below I have included the most popular and most watched by young people documentaries discovered
    through my secondary quantitative research.
3) Embarrassing Bodies
4) Super Skinny Super Size
5) Panorama
6) Come Dine With Me
7) Snog, Marry or Avoid

I have find out through enquiring my target audience that their faviourite channels that are most
    watched are Channel 4, Itv1 and 2, BBC Three and BBC One, BBC Two, BBC4, ITV3, ITV4, More4, E!
    entertainment, E4 and ITV2.
Most of the above channels that I have learned from broadcast their factual programmes during the
    evening when all young people are more likely to be at home. That’s why I am going to broadcast my
    documentary in the evening too around 7.00pm-9.00pm on a specific day euch as Mondays.
Key Findings
d) Primary Qualitative Research
After conducting the Vox Pops I have found out that my target audience was
   really interested in factual programmes because it was mainly the opinions of
   the characters in the documentaries and that it was documenting an aspect of
   reality, documentaries consists of real life stories which are more relevant,
   appeal and believable for my target audience. Expert and polarized
   opinions were very important for my target audience too when I did the Vox
   Pops with them. They said they preferred facts , statistics and figures too.

I have also discovered that my documentaries like factual documentaries because
    they were educational, informed the young audience, persuasive,
    supportive, advised and provided further contact details for any inquiries
    raised in the documentary for example embarrassing bodies is a perfect
    factual documentary that is almost similar to my documentary.

                                                             My task will be to find out what the gap in the market is on the

And whether there is a gap in the market for the issues in
my documentary has never been raised.
Key Findings

e) Primary quantitative research
To summarize my finding I have mainly found out that the gab in the market is
    that 1 out of 10 documentaries are made by a young person. This indicates
    that there aren’t any documentaries made by young people for young people
    as much as it should be.
Zero documentary is produced about sexually explicit music videos and that
    consists of sexual music videos in the factual market programmes.
At last, 10% documentaries remain an open ending with no overall conclusion .
    This suggests that not a lot of documentaries end with an open ending as my
    documentary does end but does not conclude with a final answer whether it is
    right or wrong to censor sexually explicit music videos as it is a controversial
    subject matter that not a solid answer can be discovered. The debate in my
    documentary is an ongoing dialogue, which is a gap in the market that I have
    discovered and learned through conducting my through secondary, primary
    and quantitative and qualitative researches.
Key Findings
f) Primary Quantitative Research – where I will conduct a survey about whether
    there is a gap in the market . I will specifically design for my target audience.

By carrying out the survey I have found out very crucial key findings about the gap
   in the market. These are:
• 90% of my target audience did not know any factual programs that was
   made by someone else similar to my documentary.
• 80% of them said there was a gap in the market for my documentary as it
   was missing and it was never raised awareness about it.
• 55% of my target audience in the survey said that there were documentaries
   about the government censorships on sexually explicit music videos missing in
   the factual programming market.
• 85% of my target audience in the survey stated that they haven’t yet seen any
   factual programs which are similar to my program that is made by a young
   person for young people about sexually explicit contents in the mass media.
Evaluation of distribution methods and proposals for distribution
It is highly important to distribute my documentary on the exact specific channels, websites or other
      distribution methods so that a vast majority of my target audience and viewers watch my documentary
      without being limited or denied access to my documentary due to possible errors.

The best way for me to promote my documentary is by broadcasting it on BBC Panorama documentaries
    alongside with other popular documentaries and at specific times during the evening when young people
    are from work or college.
Yet also, I would make it available online on social networking websites such as Blogger, Facebook or on
    official TV Channel websites such as BBC Iplayer to enable my target audience to have full access to
    my documentary on technological devices, particularly on laptops or Ipads .
I will also include my documentary during commercial times so that my target audience are made aware of
    my documentary through advertisements.

Through wide distribution methods my target audience can have broad access so that they can watch my
   documentary on every single device available, for instance, their Iphone, Ipad, Anderiods, Laptops, Macs
   or on different TV Channels such as BBC, BBC Three, E4, ITV1, ITV2 or Channel 4.

The proposals for distribution that I have made above are necessary and essential for the promotion of my
    documentary die to the fact that there are a myriad other documentaries out in the market which could
    steal my place. Therefore, I have chosen very specific channels and sites to distribute my documentary. I
    am aware exactly which distribution should be used that are utilized most frequently by my target
    audience as young people.

Costing commercial viability research methods

  • 1. Research into Existing Output What do I want to find out? What is currently out in the factual programming market similar to what I am making? Type of research method Why this method is effective? a) Secondary Quantitative Research using TV The method is effective because the percentages or guides to look at factual programmes and create a numerical data will enable me to see how many factual percentages or numerical data to help me find out programmes there are that is similar to the one show how many programmes there are out there that and appeals to teenagers. Hereby, I can find out about are factual and what is currently out in the factual the variety of factual programs. programming market similar to what I am making. In addition, this method is effective because I can find out across different channels what and how many factual programming there is. b) Primary Qualitative Research where I will be I will find out in depth information about the different analyzing and comparing two factual programmes. types of factual programming and the conventions of For example, one from the One Show and another them in more detail. one from Film Network known as the Ghost Village Project.
  • 2. Key Findings of Research Method a) Secondary Quantitative Research From the research I have found out three key things. These were that: • I discovered that over 32 factual programs were published on Channel 4 which were almost similar to my documentary . For example, 10 Years Younger, Extreme Male Beauty, How to Look Good Naked and Katie: My Beautiful Friends. • On BBC Three I have found out again that over 33 factual programs were on that were similar to my documentary. And that were out in the current market. For example, Snog Marry or Avoid? On BBC Three I have find out that my documentary could best fit in on the Arts, Culture & the Media factual programs. For instance, Great Movie Mistakes because it is very interested just like my documentary and my documentary's title would be Music Censorships , which can relate to the title of the factual market. In addition, my documentary also deals with government censorships and music videos. • I have also found out after conducting the secondary quantitative research across different channels what and how many factual programming there is, which I have stated above.
  • 3. The One Show and the Ghost Village documentary comparison b) Primary Qualitative Research Where I will be analyzing and comparing two factual programs. For example, one from the One Show and another one from Film Network known as the Ghost Village Project. Through analysing this documentary, I have found out that for my documentary I will be presenting the documentary, at the beginning, just like the One Show documentary and the Ghost Village documentary where there were graffiti artists introduced with a voice or a presenter. By comparing the two documentaries, I have discovered that both of them have used voice over, relevant cutaways, Vox Pops, expert opinions, a range of different shots. Both of the documentaries were documenting an aspect of reality. In the One Show the presenter participates in the documentary where she discusses the show to the target audience. Similar to the One Show, I will make a participatory documentary too.

I will put a lot of emphasis on lighting in my documentary, as it is the most important part of a documentary and it conveys different interpretations to the target audience.

For instance, I want to start my documentary with a scene of the SKY News program talking about government censorships on sexually explicit music videos, followed by voice over of a narrator talking relevant about the issue to the target audience.

  • 8. Key Findings e) Primary quantitative research To summarize my finding I have mainly found out that the gab in the market is that 1 out of 10 documentaries are made by a young person. This indicates that there aren’t any documentaries made by young people for young people as much as it should be. Zero documentary is produced about sexually explicit music videos and that consists of sexual music videos in the factual market programmes. At last, 10% documentaries remain an open ending with no overall conclusion . This suggests that not a lot of documentaries end with an open ending as my documentary does end but does not conclude with a final answer whether it is right or wrong to censor sexually explicit music videos as it is a controversial subject matter that not a solid answer can be discovered. The debate in my documentary is an ongoing dialogue, which is a gap in the market that I have discovered and learned through conducting my through secondary, primary and quantitative and qualitative researches.

  • 10. Evaluation of distribution methods and proposals for distribution It is highly important to distribute my documentary on the exact specific channels, websites or other distribution methods so that a vast majority of my target audience and viewers watch my documentary without being limited or denied access to my documentary due to possible errors. The best way for me to promote my documentary is by broadcasting it on BBC Panorama documentaries alongside with other popular documentaries and at specific times during the evening when young people are from work or college. Yet also, I would make it available online on social networking websites such as Blogger, Facebook or on official TV Channel websites such as BBC Iplayer to enable my target audience to have full access to my documentary on technological devices, particularly on laptops or Ipads . I will also include my documentary during commercial times so that my target audience are made aware of my documentary through advertisements. Through wide distribution methods my target audience can have broad access so that they can watch my documentary on every single device available, for instance, their Iphone, Ipad, Anderiods, Laptops, Macs or on different TV Channels such as BBC, BBC Three, E4, ITV1, ITV2 or Channel 4. The proposals for distribution that I have made above are necessary and essential for the promotion of my documentary die to the fact that there are a myriad other documentaries out in the market which could steal my place. Therefore, I have chosen very specific channels and sites to distribute my documentary. I am aware exactly which distribution should be used that are utilized most frequently by my target audience as young people.
