  2. Tagline - how will you sell the drama to an audience? - 
  3. Setting(s) North west london 
  4. Main characters and why audiences will like/dislike them-Deshane rop drug dealer. Adults may not like him because he gets young kids into drugs/bad influence. Kids may like him as he helps the young kids earn money and makes the drama worth watching
  5. At least three of the narratives or storylines - at least one should cover the series arc (a narrative that continues across the whole series). The series arc is the police going to catch deshane (top drug dealer) episode1: Introduce to Deshane/his workers/his family episode2: His brother needs money to get into his football team. His brother asks Deshane to help him sell drugs. Deshane says no and his brother does it and gets into trouble Deshane has to pay a ransom 
  6. Potential TV channels and timings to broadcast your new TV drama- 104 channel4 10:00
  7. Your TV drama's USP - unique selling point - Wood Harris and Cam'ron (main characters)
  8. Your show's detailed target audience (demographics and similar shows they might watch). Remember: the age group specified by the preliminary brief is 15-24.
  9. Three reasons your TV drama will appeal to that target audience-That age range appeal to loads of urban dramas. 
3) Come up with a variety of ways to promote your new TV Drama to your target audience. Plan out the following:
  • Official website for the TV drama that allows audiences to meet the characters and find out more about the storylines 
  • Ideas to feature your drama on social media e.g. hashtag, video content etc.
       #
  • Any other creative or unusual ways to promote your new TV drama to the audience
        Ads on channel 4 and e4 
4) Write a three-paragraph answer for why your new TV drama will be successful in the incredibly competitive marketplace of modern television.

My tv drama will be successful due to the fact that i am doing an urban drama. Urban dramas are well known for being broadcast-ed and being very successful. An example of this is Top boy. Top boy was broadcast-ed and was very successful on channel 4 and due to the fact my TV drama is like Top boy it will  be successful as well.

It will also be successful due to the fact i have two well known urban drama actors. Both these actors have played a roll in Paid in full which also involves drugs so by using these actors it helps me gain viewers as they will like too see what role the actors play and too see if they play tp drug dealers like they did in Paid in full.

Waterloo Road is a British television drama series that was broadcasted on BBC1 and later on BBC Three. Furthermore, Waterloo Road has 10 series and 200 episodes altogether.

The clip from Waterloo road portrays that is a a high school in a rural area. From the uniform your impressions would be that the teenagersare not very well behave. This clip suggest to us that Gabriella is going too be a bad student as she doesn't follow her parents rules. This suggest that the storyline is going to be based around her for this show as the first minute is a big entrance for her. What i expect to happen is Gabriella is going to end up fighting the girlfriend of the boy she kissed as she was upset she kissed her boyfriend. The new character will make the storyline more interesting to the audience as she is bringing in more drama and that is what the viewers of Waterloo Road watch it for.

There are typical TV drama characters in Waterloo Road providing that there are average community school students who attend the high school. There are loads of stereotypes in Waterloo Road like the 'popular kids' who are very popular in the school sometimes occasionally they can also be bad students. There also also the kids who are smart and get bullied for being smart these are called nerds. There are also the students who go against the rules such as wearing there own clothes to school and not  which we can clearly see in the clip. Gabriella would be part of the rich, spoilt, stuck-up kids since we can clearly see by the episode that she is defiant towards her father. The clip introduces Gabriella as quite mischievous this may be the cause as her being brought it up into a rich family which she doesn't think is her and wants to be a normal student.

In Waterloo road there are many visual codes that suggest iconography such as the uniform. From the episode, we can see that some students wear school uniform and some dont. From this we can see that  this school has some students who are well behaved and some that do not wear there uniform this would be not an orderly school. Immediately know that it is a high school drama Tv show as some of them are in their in uniform


It is very clear to the audienc th

Setting: How does the clip quickly introduce the school setting?
