Note that since it was published the cost of a TV licence has increased to £174.50.  Complete the following questions on the BBC and industry contexts using the notes above the article you have read: 1) What is the BBC's mission statement? 2) How is the BBC funded? 3) What must the BBC do to meet its public service broadcasting responsibilities? (Look at the five bullet points in the notes above). 4) Who is the regulator for TV and Radio in the UK? You can find details on this in the notes above. 5) How is TV and Radio regulated by Ofcom?  6) How do Doctor Who and His Dark Materials help the BBC to meet the  BBC's remit to inform, educate and entertain ? Answer this question in at least 150 words.

  1) Who do you think the target audience is for His Dark Materials and why? What about psychographic groups? You can revise Psychographics here. I think the target audience for His Dark Materials would be fans of the fantasy genre, as the show uses many conventions of fantasy TV, such as the daemons and witches. Fans of coming-of-age, young adult books similar to the original His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman would most likely also enjoy the show. With Psychographics, I think that the target audience is most likely the Explorers, since the show is based on Lyra's quest and adventures in new worlds. Potentially, fans could also be Reformers, as the cast is quite diverse. Moreover, as the show has some political commentary on religion and the patriarchy through the Magisterium, it's possible that Reformers would agree with their representation of those groups and hence, enjoy watching the show. On the other hand, this would likely make the Resigned not fans of the show,...

  Language and close-textual analysis 1) Write an analysis of the episode - using  your notes from the screening in class .  Make specific, detailed reference to moments in the text using media terminology (e.g. media language - camera shots and movement, editing, diegetic/non-diegetic sound, mise-en-scene etc.) You can currently  watch His Dark Materials on BBC iPlayer here . Camerawork, editing and sound:  The episode uses epic, non-diegetic music to set the atmosphere for the opening scene, an establishing shot of the "city in the sky". Suspenseful music is then used alongside a low-angle shot of Mrs Coulter to reflect her superiority and dominance. The daemon is then introduced for the first time in the episode, and is made using CGI. During the chase scene, suspenseful music is once again used to reflect the excitement of the scene, with a variety of drone shots and handheld camera movement alongside fast-paced editing. A low-angle shot is used again when L...

  Audience 1) Who is the target audience for Doctor Who? Do you think it has changed since 1963? Mainstream family audience, and also to both males and females. As it is mainstream and made for families, the age can range from 10- 40+ 2) What audience pleasures are offered by Doctor Who - An Unearthly Child? Apply Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory to the episode. Make sure you provide specific examples from the episode to support your ideas. Personal Identity:  Susan can give teenagers identity as she is a teenager herself, and she wears casual clothes that a 1960s teen would wear. Ian and Barbara could give identity to teachers as they also care about what is going on in their students' lives. Personal Relationships:  Audience members could form relations with Ian and Barbara, as they seem like the heroes for the majority of the episode. Diversion (Escapism):  The genre is science fiction, and this offers diversion as it is different from reality, an...

  Language and contexts 1) Write a summary of the notes from our in-class analysis of the episode. You can use your own notes from the screening in class or  this Google document of class notes  (you'll need your GHS Google login).  Camerawork and sound:  overall slow and clunky camera movement and the sounds commonly have a futuristic theme and feel. Also a lot of the sounds create mystery and are enigma codes  Mise-en-scene:  The actor placement and acting are quite bad and shows that the budget was low using todays standards. Also the costumes play into what the character is like, Susan wears casual teenage clothing, the Doctor wears unusual clothing perhaps in an attempt to fit in, Ian and Barbra both wear formal and normal clothing. Lastly, the random props and objects add onto the mystery  Narrative and genre:  Many sci-fi themes like the control panel, the TARDIS, the junkyard holding a huge mystery and the VFX when the TARDIS is takin...
