INVESTIGATION INTO INSTITUTIONS                                                                                      

ITV 


  •  only distributes what it considers as high quality content
  • primarily funded by television advertising revenue
  • has the largest share of the UK TV advertising market (47.6%)
  • 21 million registered users of ITV Hub
  • delivers its content across multiple platforms: itv/ itv 2/ itv 3/ itv 4/ C TV/ itv be
  • 3 priorities: people, plant and partnerships
  • people: reflect modern society through our programmes, workforce and services, ensuring were relevant and accessible to all
  • planet: to increase awareness about environmental sustainability through our programmes whilst minimising the environmental impact of our operations 
  • partnerships: to harness the power our programmes to empower our people to make a difference to communities and causes
  • Each of our priorities highlight the risks and opportunities that are most relevant to us, and we have made four commitments under each which incorporate our main assets and business operations.
CHANNEL 5

  • does not want shows that are ‘tricksy’ or derivative
  • looking for programmes that are engaging and intelligent
  • want programmes that have relevance to the viwer
  • want factual shows
  • not looking for comedy or drama



From this research I can conclude that my show would be better suited to ITV as Channel 5 is unlikely to want a show which is a crime drama, also, Channel 5 does not like 'tricksy' shows, which mine will be. My show will reflect modern society which will make it suitable to be on ITV.

CLOSING POST                                                                             Through my research I have developed a good understanding of the crime-drama genre and the TV industry. I think that my audio visual piece displays a large range of camerawork and editing techniques which makes it look like a fun and unique style of TV show that would interest and be enjoyed by a young millennial audience. Originally I had problems with filming in the dark because the action was hard to see, however, when I re-filmed I had crew members hold up an iPhone torch which solved the problem. I am very proud of the front cover I have produced because I think that it looks like a real magazine cover, I have used a range of font text to interest the target market and a restricted colour palette to make...

THEORY                                                                                             My audio visual piece will fit into Todorov's narrative theory because it features a key turning point in  which would act as the disruption within the episode. Another theorist whose ideas fit with my work is  Steve Neal, his theory that genre is dominated by repetition will be enforced by the characters in the show committing a crime, making it fit into the crime drama genre. Hall suggested that there are 3 ways an audience can intemperate text: through the preferred reading, negotiated reading and oppositional reading. The preferred reading for my audio-visual piece would be to idolise the 2 main characters' confidence and skill because it is some...
