My Client (BBC) is the main broadcaster for the United Kingdom and is funded by the the Government. They have tasked me to make and design a Television drama for their third channel called BBC 3. BBC 3 is a channel targeted at younger viewers from 16 - 30. This means they will want me to make a television drama targeted at this group. Even though BBC 3 is targeted for young people there are many different genres of drama that they have to pleasure their audience. As of looking on the BBC 3 website there are mostly dramas involving mostly young characters like Clique which is based in a university, Class which is based in High school and Our World war which may be be about ww1 but that time in history is known for having soldiers as young as 14 in it but overall it mainly has adults playing in it in there early 20s.
Nowadays BBC has mainly modern day settings which have proven to be popular amongst the target group so it will be beneficial to make a drama based in the modern day and perhaps also in a lesser Urban area than a major city in the south as this will overall cost a lot more than lets say in a Northern Yorkshire town. To also keep production costs low it may be beneficial to hire lesser and Unknown actors rather than to hire a big, famous actor.
There are also many legal requirements to making a drama such as using copy righted music for the background,
