How the BBC decides on the type of tv drama they show

How the BBC decides on the type of tv drama they show on each of their channels...

BBC ONE

BBC ONE has a large diverse audience and targets these by showing a wide variety of dramas ranging from Eastenders to Casualty. They would however like to broaden their horizons and reach the younger demographic too and are willing to show "edgier" shows such as happy valley. BBC hopes to challenge their viewers by trying to show other types of shows that aren't like the standard Eastenders. 

BBC TWO

BBC TWO is focused on a specific type of person, I would say the older demographic and they assume that the people are intellectuals. BBC also as has an angled perspective on the world. 

BBC THREE

BBC THREE is on the internet so targets the younger demographic. However you can watch BBC ONE and TWO on the internet. There are quite a lot of comedies on BBC THREE too.

NETFLIX

Global, apart from china they began streaming in the USA in 2007 and 2010 internationally. Many people watch on demand and binge watch Netflix as it is always there 24/7, many people like it because there aren't any adverts as well. Netflix, because it is internet based is targeted at the younger generation and is subscription based so adults feel like using it as well. There are lots of Long Form TV dramas, which keeps people hooked so it gives them an incentive to keep the subscription going. 

Audiences; 
The olde people are watching more tv whereas the younger people are watching less tv and transitioning to the internet.

The cultural capital of this students family is like

Genre and cinematography

Image
This picture is a low angle of a tree the genre could be a comedy about a squirrel. The genre is not really reflected as you cannot gather very much from an image of a tree. It is the point of view of the creature running away from a predator, i believe the angle went well as it really captured how large everything is from a squirrels point of view. I think the shot would be improved if there was some motion blur as this would represent the speed of the squirrels' escape and possibly add tension.  This image here is of a woman "running" in an action genre.The genre is reflected vaguely as the image could belong to a variety of genres. I think the image could be improved through the use of a wider shot as it would allow the viewer to see the "peril" she is in as the scenery around her would be more obvious. However I do think the angle of the close up is unique as most "shoe shots" are on flat ground This still here is an extreme close up of
