PROPOSAL-FACTUAL PROGRAM
Topic of your production and why it is
important to British Youth
How does the production suit your
target audience?
What are the ethical aspects of your
production? Will you offend / fight a
cause / raise awareness of it?
Why should BBC ‘buy’ your
productions – what does it offer that
hasn’t been covered before?
Since our short film had an umbrella
topic of mental health, I have decided that my factual
programme will stem from that are go more deeply into
music and the music industry. The growing industry has a
massive affect on young people and their mental health,
from lyrics in songs to the tenacious battle it takes to
enter the industry. Since my target audience is British
youth aged 14-24, I think music and how it affects our
mental health is an extremely helpful topic for those who
are struggling.
My production will be informative as well as interesting.
My interviews will consist of people who are in the target
audience and people who have experience in the field.
The productions itself will be formed specifically from
previous research to be what the target audience wants to
see and learn from the topic.
There are little ways that my productions could cause
offense, however through surveys and research I will
make sure that things that might cause offence will be
brough to attention and dealt with appropriately. I hope
my production will also raise awareness to the good and
bad qualities that music can have on our mental health.
I believe that my production will take a new approach
into how music is used. It will help young people
discover ways to use music to support their emotional
well-being and will also include tips from musicians
about how making music can help with exploring one’s
emotions. I will also talk to musicians about the power of
their motivation to achieve their dreams in a difficult
industry and how their journey can help motivate others.
