M1 - Stregnths and Weakness of My ideas

Idea 1



Strengths 

My first idea provides a transgressive story line , which includes many transgressive topics such as drugs and violence. These topics are very appealing to the targeted audience of ages 16-25. We also explore issues of domestic violence , drug addiction and poor mental health all within the drama series. This will help us reach out to other targeted audiences and sufferers of these issues in which we can make them feel more at rest whilst providing helplines for them to reach out to someone. In addition to this we have included the countries most popular sport in football, this itself has a massive audience so will hopefully help the show succeed.

By tackling such transgressive topics such as mental health and domestic abuse we will hopefully be able to show sufferers of these issues that hey are not alone and that there are people out there to help them. And we will encourage them to reach out to these people by including helplines for the issues portrayed in the programme at the end of each episode

Weaknesses

This idea involves tricky subject which if not portrayed well and effectively could lead to the show being ended or leaving BBC with a bad reputation. Furthermore it may not reach the intended target audience due to the heavy involvement of a school environment thus meaning it may appeal to those on the older end of the cbbc audience.

Another weakness of this idea is that the heavy use of drugs and violence may be too much for certain viewers meaning they may not want to watch the show.

Idea 2



























Strengths
This idea deals with many transgressive issues but the most prominent one being the exposure of drugs. This exposure helps attract our target audience of ages 16-25 as they're into such transgressive topics as they may never have come across such experiences. This also is heavily based around violence with the opening scene being a young teen fighting after a drug bust. This is another transgressive topic that will help attract an audience.

On top of this another strength of this idea is that the audience will be heavily invested into the character development as he is around the age group of the audience meaning they will want to watch how the character will grow in and adapt to a new environment.


Weaknesses
A potential weakness of this idea is the lack of female representation, this may not work well with the BBC ethos of gender equality. furthermore another issue that may raise concern is the use of drugs as BBC will not be wanting to promote such material to the nation as it may lead them into legal issues.

As well as this another weakness may be the negative portrayal of the police which may lead into a political and ethical argument for the BBC which could portray them in a negative light.


Idea 3




Strengths
My 3rd idea deals with crime and gang material, this is transgressive topic which many people in the ages of 16-25 will not have experienced. Such transgressive material will attract high viewership as audiences of that age group will be wanting to gain an insight into a world they may never have experienced.

Another strength is that this idea is unique to BBC meaning that it will attract viewers in a way they may not have been able to before.

Weaknesses
A potential weakness of this idea is the lack of female representation, this may not work well with the BBC ethos of gender equality. Furthermore gang culture is slowly fading which mean the potential audience may not be as big as hoped.
