What Channel
 My documentary will be shown on BBCThree.This is
because there target audience is similar to mine and BBC
Three often show documentaries on there channel.

Rise of FemaleViolence.This is different to mine as mine is
specifically about feminism and the causes of it.

news at 10:30 PM BBCThree have lots of sister channels
for example BBC One, BBCTwo.They could help promote
my documentary.

Channel ethos
 BBCThree channel ethos is to provide "innovative"
content to younger audiences, focusing on new talent and
new technologies. BBCThree try new UK content rather
than repeats, breaking new ideas or re-inventing exciting
approaches, rather than copying old ones. I am a young
UK film maker making a documentary in the UK so my
position fits their channel ethos perfectly.
Target Audience
The primary target audience for BBC Three are16-24 yr olds who are
young in spirit and mindset and ‘Never Afraid to Try New Things’.
They target them by having a range of different programs that are
aimed at a younger audience.
The secondary target audience for BBC Three are 20-25 year olds both
male and female. they target them by showing more mature
television later in the day.
 Some examples of BBCThree programming that show this are included
below.
 BBC Three showcase Jack Whitehall, a British comedian who
appeals to the target audience. This shows that they are following
there channel ethos because he is a young comedian.
 They also show Top Gear formally hosted by Jeremy Clarkson,
James May and Richard Hammond . This attracts their secondary
target audience as it is a more mature show.
Commercial viability
 My documentary is commercial viable because it is a
documentary that no one has made because it is a
controversial topic. Fahrenheit 9/11 was the highest
grossing documentary of all time, this shows that
controversial topics sells more than any other type of
documentary.This shows that my documentary is
commercial viable because mine is about a controversial
topic.
