Miranda-Cheryl Taylor




Who produced them?
Bad Education- Ben Cavey (BBC)
Miranda- Jo Sargent (BBC)




What audience are they aimed at? Why?
Bad Education- It is aimed at teenagers as it is based in a high school environment. Also bad education's characters are all teenagers, this is the age which the show is aimed at. It wouldn't be aimed at adults as they will not find it as funny.
Miranda- It is aimed at middle aged people as the characters are all around middle aged or older. It is aimed at middle aged people as it found funny by that particular age group, where as teenagers might not find the show as funny.




Why are they on at that time and on that channel? Link to 'type' of comedy and target audience.
Bad Education- It is on 10pm on BBC Three. It is on at this time as it is after the watershed time of 9pm. It is on this channel as the target audience tends to watch BBC Three more than they watch BBC 1. Another reason why it is shown on BBC Three is because of the humour. The kind of humour shown on bad education is quite similar to other shows shown on BBC three.
Miranda- It is shown at 8:30pm on a Wednesday Night. It is Broadcasted on BBC 1 as the humour is different to bad education. The target audience tend to watch BBC 1 more often. This is why it is shown on this channel. This is shown at 8:30pm because it doesn't contain a lot of bad language.

Are they on after the watershed? Why?
Bad Education- It is on after watershed as it contains a lot of bad language. It contains a lot of transgressive pleasures, so it would not be a good idea to let children watch this programme.
Miranda- It is on before the watershed time as the humour does not contain a lot of bad language and is not as rude as Bad Education. It doesn't need to be on after nine because children wouldn't understand most of the jokes anyway.
Audience Demographic
Miranda- Miranda's Target audience is aimed for Middle aged women between 29-39. There occupation would be just normal every day jobs.
Bad Education- Bad Education's Target audience is aimed at teenagers between 15-19. Either boys or girls who are still at school or uni tend to fit in the target audience.

The IT Crowd

The IT Crowd- setting:

The IT Crowd is a British sit com. As for the setting there are only a few different sets which are shown in the first episode. The most used setting is the basement, which you can spot will be used through out the show. This will connect the audience to the show as they will recognize the setting and think of everything that goes on in the basement. With most of the humor coming from there place of work, it shows that it is the worst place in the building and shows a lot on the characters and makes it more of a sit com.

Characters:
The characters are very stereo-typed to be a certain social group. The character to the far right is stereo-typed to be a more nerdy,geek kind of character which makes the program more of a sit com. This is because this character will get laughs because of who he is. The character to the left is a more lazy, clumsy type of person. This relates to the genre being a sit com because the character will do stupid things to get laughs. For the sit com to work, you need these these stereo-typed characters, this is why the show works well.

The Show:
After every joke on the show there is canned laughter, which shows to the audience that the show is a sit com. They use a lot of canned laughter, which may get repetitive but gives the audience a better understanding what type of humor the show will consist and that the genre is a sit com.

Film Poster

This is my film poster which i created in year 10. It is a film poster which is meant to suggest that it is a action fantasy film. It is about a superhero called Electro who is just an ordinary boy who needs to fight his evil villain away.

Magazine Project

This is my magazine project. It consists of my front cover, contents page and double page spread. My genre of magazine is fashion. My target audience was set for 15-24.
