Gogglebox

Googlebox is shown on a friday evening on Chanel 4 with a variety of different series. Each series is made up by at least 10 episodes all of which are around a hour long. The show was created by putting cameras in family living rooms to capture viewers responses to different TV shows. The TV shows that the families watched were purposely chosen as they were the most popular watched around the nation. The top shows that the families watch are XFactor, Im A Celebrity and Chanel 4 News. They chose these shows is particular due to them being the most watched by the nation. By choosing these shows it gives us a way of interacting with the families and comparing ourselves to the way they reacted.

This show focuses on Comedy however as it is starring everyday people we are able to relate more. Their use of language and sense of humour is easier to understand and they use similar dialect to us. Although it is a fun show and the families responses keep us entertained, I cant help but feel the whole show is constructed. 

The families are aware that their is a camera present in the room which suggests some of their reactions may be false and/or exaggerated to increase the national views. One of the most popular households in the episodes are best friends Sandy and Sandra. They are loved so strongly due to their appearance and their actions. Chanel 4 chose a variety of different families each with a different sense of humour, for example, The Moffatt family are talkative and funny however The Siddiqui Family tend to act more seriously and concerned. 

Overal i think the layout of this program is a great way of receiving more viewers and earning a higher profit however, it is slightly constructed which takes away reality of it.

This is the dvd cover for my first season of Inclosure. I really like how it turned out as is foreshadows whats going to happen in the season however doesn't give any spoilers. Each image on the cover has a purpose for being their. For example the mountains are there because the environment of season one is set around a rocky surrounding. 

The front cover of the case includes everything i buyer will need to know. The target audience/age (bottom right), the name of the Show/Season(Inclosure/No such thing as evil) and relatable images to attract consumers. 

The spine of the case in simple. It includes the Show name, the target age and the special addition icon. All of these need to be present so consumers can analysis what dvd it is without seeing the face of the case.

With the back side i got inspiration from other dvd cases. I cropped and fit the bottom half of the face by using an image of google. This section on the face is what every dvd case has as it tells us the legal side of the dvd. A blurb is always needed, this is to inform the viewer of what the film/show is about and also gives them minimal information of whats happened/happening. Top right of the back face i added how many disks are included. Because is it a continuous show this information is important so consumers know how many disks need to be present in the case.

Overal I think the outcome of my series dvd case turned out really well as it includes everything you'd find on actual dvd cases and gives all the details and consumer will need before purchasing the item.

I decided to create another DVD cover for my Tv Series. I like this cover as it tell us what the program is about yet doesnt spoil anything. Although I like this cover because it is simple and doesnt include to many busy sections I still like the first design more.

Identifying Todorov

 Divergent! 

We are introduced to the Equalibruim straight away when we learn that each citenzen is designated a sector. This is normal leaving for main start Beatrice, so when testing day comes up and she discovers she's a 'divergent'(a rare breed of human with talents from all sectors) he life becomes a threat! Divergents are believed to use their talents for evil hence why everyone is afraid of them.

The distribution in the Equalibrium comes around after finding out she's a Divergent. With the fear of being identified as a divergent and the choosing of sectors coming up Beatrice fears for her life! Although she learns new skills and becomes the best in her sector. However when one of the sectors becomes evil and tries over ruling her true Divergen o's portrayed in the process of saving the people in her home town. 

Recognition of the disruption is when they discover she is a divergent and try to kill her, in the process of her surviving the hate rig of the other sectors she finds other Divergents. 

Repair of the Equalibruim is when Beatrice destroys the evil sector and, for the sake of her survival runs away with the other Divergents. 

Returning of a new Equalibruim for everyone as the sectors must continue living with the knowledge of Divergents still existing and Beatrice and the other Divergents must survive being hunted.

Product Ideas:
Since deciding on my overall narrative I have since then gone on to develop my idea. The name of my series will still be called 'Inclosure' however each season will have a different name for example series one will be called 'no such thing as evil'.

I thought of this name in particular as when the teenagers are kept captive one of the teens could shout out to the scientist 'what you're doing isnt human, its evil' the scientist could then go on to reply with 'there's no such thing as evil'. I think this catchphrase is catchy and will stick in the characters and viewers mind throughout the season.

Below I have designed some rough merchandise ideas which I will use to specifically publicize season one of Inclosure.

This is my first Idea as it symbolize the main name of the seasons. However the silhouettes represent the characters in season one. As the characters change throughout the seasons so will the images. 

I really like this idea as it tells us what happens in the first couple of episodes however it doesn't tell us whats going to happen. It includes the sub series name in a an attractive format. The image also represents season one yet if you haven't seen the program you wouldn't understand its purpose. I think the fact it is focusing on a black and white theme with minimal colour attracts our attention to the important part of the product.

This hat is simple yet looks very trendy.The overall layout of this hat represents the sub series name(like every one of these designs on this page) and a scientists test tube. The  equipment portrays what could happen in the season. This design is trendy as it is from a teens point f view however seeing as the show is based on post water shed it may attract adults.

This is my final design for my tv how and I decided to chose pen as 

most viewers will either in late 

education or employment, It is a simple design with the seasons name. It comes in a variety of different colours which benefits the users.

                                                     

                                                                                         This piece of merchandise is more for the female fans. The characters of the series are painted onto the customers nails in a simple yet fun manner. This is a way the fans can have a cheap  pigment of their favourite characters which them at all times.

Maslow Hierarchy Of Needs

Audience Theory

Hypodermic Needle Theory:
This is the idea that the the audience starts out with an empty mind and that the producers/directors of a film inject us with something that we will pay money to see. This is a easy way to receive money and enlarge the target audience.

User and Gratification: 
There are many reasons why we do and watch certain things and each action has a different outcomes.
1)Surveillance-Factual Knowledge
2)Personal Identity
3)Form Friendships- You can build friendships with the things you have I'm common
4)Entertainment-We watch certain films for pleasure and to have a good time. 

Reception Theory:
This is how something is received. Every one learns and understands things in different ways but we all acknowledge.
