Adventure idea

Health and Safety
I would have to take into consideration trip hazards such as wires and things being left on the floor. Surrounding objects when filming. Water spills, such as drinks.

The Commissioning Process

1. Give a summary of the type of content and overview for each channel and what it expects and how does it differ depending on that channel.

On CBBC they have factual, drama, entrainment, comedy and interactive programmes. The aim there content at kids, although theese genre's would also be for an older audience. But CBBC cleverly aim there programmes correctly so that it appeals to the right age.

Where as on CBeebies they have programmes for children. Which although are very playful also teach life skills, such as its bad to be greedy, or selfish.

2. Who are the Audience for each channel for your chosen genre? Give examples.

The target audience of the CBBC is 6 - 12 year olds. Which is primary school age. The CBeebies audience is 0-6 year olds which means the content differs greatly from CBBC's

3. How do you get a commissioned, give examples

Commissioning Timeline

All the people that send their ideas of their drama to the BBC e.g. the script, will get a letter saying that they have received it within a week.

Within another six weeks the Commissioning Editor will either eject or accept the idea for further consideration

Now proposals may be provided with funded development. This means that the external supplier and the BBC and the development contract will have further negotiation, which can take a little more time

The final decision will be made within 20 weeks from the receipt of the proposal. If successful the proposal will be given approval by the relevant Commissioning Editor

The project can be held over in exceptional circumstances but only with the agreement of the supplier

What Your Proposal Should Include

The BBC are always embracing diversity. So your proposal should have a paragraph saying how the programme would fulfil their diversity commitment


If your drama will be performed in front of a live audience or have contributors then it should include details of how you will the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

 It is the essential for every production team to meet the health and safety measures during any project. If any concerns occur you will be required to include details of how such issues or concerns have been addressed

Your Drama may not fit into one genre, maybe 2 or more. This won't be a problem, the BBC structure deals with a complex multi-genre multi-media world. You should choose the genre that you think fits your drama the best. But if you do submit it to more than one genre you must state you have done so

It needs to be clear that you have Factual based content at the heart of the proposal

 

The Role Of The Writer

The writers had to make the roles on the females bigger and more important in the film. They did this because there were to many males compared to females and it would have made an unfair balance. This as you can imagine is very difficult to do for obvious reasons such as fitting extra characters into scenes that aren't meant to be there, making them important to other characters and giving them a role that could fit into the story. They also had to take out certain characters in the film, the reason for this is that some of the characters in the book didn't fit with the story they were trying to portray.

Writing an exposition can be very hard. The writers will have to condense a big part of the book into a few pages of script, it has to make the film move along quickly but also include all the information that the book did. Often they will have to make up scenes for the film that never happened in the book and make sure they link into the scenes that did. But without changing the story to much.

The writers would often get together with the actors and gather ideas from each other. This could help with things that fans would be expecting to see in the film that happened in the book. Such as where Sam holds Frodo's hand whilst he is in bed. This is a good technique for the writers to use because they get a wider range of ideas.

There are different styles of script writing. One completely different to movie script writing is writing for a series. A good example would be 'The Big Bang' when writing scripts for this show the writers don't only have to think about the audience at home but also  the live audience on set. The live audience need to be amused, making them laugh is very important. Whereas with the film making the audience feel attached to the characters can be a bigger priority. Another thing is that the fans of Big Bang theory never know what is going to happen in the next episode, this gives the writers a lot more flexibility and lets them almost write whatever they like, from introducing a new character to having a character go to hospital. That I think is easier than writing a film such as lord of the rings where many people have read the book and know what to expect, and if they think it doesn't live up to the books reputation then it wont be a successful film.
