E4-Misfits Audience and why successful

Misfits’, which follows a set of unlikely superheroes, was the most- watched multichannel programme yesterday (11 November), with a 6.3% share of the TV-watching audience between 10pm and 11pm.
According to Channel 4, nearly 600,000 viewers were in E4’s target demographic of 16- to 34-year-olds and the programme took a 16.9% share among the age group. The share among 16- to 24-year-olds was 28.2%.

But is there a silver lining to all of this? BBC3, ITV2 and especially E4 are increasingly being seen as pinnacles of innovation and creativity, with young audiences somewhat introducing the online viewing, webisode watching, multi-platform viewing habits most now use every day. Skins, despite not being sci-fi or fantasy, is responsible for so much in terms of online activity that supports today’s television, and the same practices of offering online content that complements the main show have helped make shows like Misfits big hits. This is because it is a very gritty british drama which attracts younger viewers due to the characters being based around modern era as the characters represents the youth society as energetic, lively and ruthless creating a sense of life being driven into them as programmes like these where action is taking place it reflects society, so therefore with my project it would represent the youth society as how misfits portrays there.

Silver-Linings Production
Off the 3 given briefs i have decided to go with brief one, which was silver lining productions. The brief clearly indicates that silver lining production is a multi media production that is successful with fly on the wall documentaries and fiction programmes. However since it being pre-watershed my audience is around 15-35 years old as it is a mature programme with adult humour. However i need to choose another task which is prinitng. I believe this would link to the silver linings prodcution because it is film based as creating a poster would be a still image of the whole film summed up such as films being postered on billboards which is useful and appropriate.


From the work i have done, i have researched channel prodcution where my product can be based on and why, also other comparisons of films which have the same genre to my film production and the demographics which can help me expand my understanding. The main thing to concentrate on is the audience, if its is relevant and if it will succeed due to looking at other similar programmes. I decided to do this as it is interesting and diffrentiated.

Jumping on the bandwagon of revamping old TV shows, this big screen version of the show from the late 80s/early 90s that is mostly remembered as being a springboard for Johnny Depp's career, is a slap-dash buddy movie with a puerile streak. I never saw the TV series, so it is difficult to know whether or not the film's tone is anything like the original series, but the basic concept is the same - two youthful cops are recruited to go undercover in high school.

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play the nerdy, bright Schmidt and the handsome, slow-witted Jenko who first meet at high-school, where they are diametrical opposites. When they meet again at Police Academy, they have more time for each other and become buddies; Schmidt helps Jenko academically, while Jenko encourages Schmidt physically. After an incompetent and failed drug-bust, the deflated duo are transferred undercover and sent back to high-school to identify the supplier and distributor of a new dangerous party drug that is spreading like wild-fire.

None of it believable, of course and Hill and Tatum have their new identities switched, with the mathematical whiz being sent to drama class and sports and the athletic dumbbell finding himself in chemistry class. The humour is pretty lame, so leave your brain at the door, but there are some funny juxtapositions - like the stretch limo chase scene and the madcap sequence in which Hill, dressed like Peter Pan and Tatum, dressed like a chemical equation are making their escape from a gang of bikies.

Ice Cube plays Captain Dickson, the self-declared black angry man in charge of the undercover agents and Dave Franco (younger brother of James, and looking just like him) is the school's drug supplier. Brie Larson is likeable as Molly, the object of Schmidt's desires who returns his feelings, but has to wait for him to pluck up the courage to follow through.

It's funny and entertaining enough to make a difference as the idea that the two unlikely buddies rub off on each other positively is not all bad as this is a humorous side to action thriller which makes it more exciting.

This is another film i would compare to my brief given to me as it is a successful choice with many films with simlar genre being produced like this more oftenly in this genration, as it appeals more due to being entertaining and thrilling. Therefore with not many programmes as this it would make it more interesting as making a trailer of it would leave the audience in suspense as it will be unique. Using the comparisons will help me plan my project and improve my knowledge on how to produce it.
