Audience

PRIMARY:Age group:-15+-Teenagers and young adultsDemographic:C-EPsychographic:Rebel, trendy

SECONDARY:Families in the room We will conduct surveys to help us deduct what audience will be most likely to watch our program.

Uses and gratification theory – We will purposely put someone who is not very good into a challenge as it will keep the audience interested and entertained as they will gain satisfaction from watching others fight.

Practical WorkCamera angles:• Very long fly on the wall shotsWhen its just the contestants and the hosts are not around• Close upsTitle Sequence• Medium close upsHostsImages:LocationInside and outside could be differentOutside – old or creepy looking houseInside – like a giant living room however not homilyDiary room – a small secluded room with cobwebs and spiders hanging from the sides Lighting and Costume:During the day there will be bright colours however when the program switches to night time the lighting will be darker and both the hosts and contestants will wear darker clothes.

Characters• Ashley Jenson (f)Stereotypically blonde, pretty, not clever, too scared to do challenges• Lucy Right (f)Small but loud, speaks her mind, liked by some but not all• Mason Cole (m)Athletic, good looking, tries to take control, easily tempered• Nathan Carter (m)Class clown, one everyone loves• Sienna Parnell (f)Posh, thinks she’s better than others, judging

They are all around the same age (teenagers around 17 years old) but they’re different personality's can cause conflicts to occur – especially when two of the contestants whose personality's clash are put together.
