Audience Research Questions

These were the 6 main questions we asked to our target audience :

1. Would you be interested in watching a documentary about addiction ?
e.g. Gambling,Gaming,Sex,Shoplifitng or Self Harming

2. Is this series more interesting because it focuses on less covered addictions ?

3. Which one of these addictions would you like to see the most ?

4. Would you prefer it to be helping the people involved or purely observational ?

5. Would you prefer it to focus on a specific person or a group ?

6. Do you think that a documenatry like this is important to get awareness and to help the individuals who struggle with the same problems ?

Pitch and Production Plan

Pitch- A makeover approach to curing people's mental addictions. Addictions such as Alcohol and Narcotics have been covered a lot by documentaries. This series will take a different approach of a makeover on mental addictions that don't get the same coverage by the media.

New Documentary Idea

Due to unforseen circumstances my group and I have been forced to completely change our documentary idea. as our Olympian who was the focal point of our first episode, tore every ligament in his ankle and has returned to Botswana. Therefore I have come up with a new idea for a documentary series :

What's Your Addiction ?

Is a Makeover documentary show for people who suffer from irregular addictions and an attempt in helping them free themselves from their addiciton. The series will have an individual episode for each addiction. My plan is not only to help a group of individuals who struggle with these addicitons, but also to raise awareness for others around the country who may be in need of help or embarrased with their own irregular addiction. This documentary series is designed for Channel 4 on Thursday Nights at 9pm.



This series will show addictions which are untypically covered such as :

Gambling
Shoplifting
Gaming
Sex
Self Harming
