Radio 1 research

BBC radio offers a wide variety of different stations for different target audiences to listen to. These include Radio 1 through to Radio 6.
Radio 1 is the most fulfilling for the PSB remit, this is because they always include their audience in their stations to give ultimate entertainment, although the others may include their audience sometimes, its nearly never as much as Radio 1 do.
There is a big range of programs offered throughout the BBC radios, there should be something to appeal to everyone since every show targets different people. Radio 1, 1X, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all very similar in what they include and offer within their show. The only slight differences between them is who they target and who presents them. Radio 4Extra is a thirty minute show which airs between 8:00 and 8:30am, where they entertain using comedy, new dramas and features, and lastly radio 5Extra is a specific show dedicated to sports news etc.

Target audiences:

  • Radio 1 - 15-29 year olds
  • Radio 1 Xtra - 15-24 year olds
  • Radio 2 - 35 years and over
  • Radio 3 - Anyone
  • Radio 4 - 35-54 year olds
  • Radio 5 - Any one interested in sport and live news
  • Radio 6 - 30-50 year olds
These target audiences are who the different radio stations aim at, it is not necessarily who actually listens to these stations.

The first presenter on Radio 1 was Tony Blackburn, he presented for nearly 6 years before being replaced. Other DJ's which have presented the Radio 1 breakfast show include, Chris Evans, Zoe Ball, Sara Cox, Chris Moyles, Nick Grimshaw and the most recent presenter, Greg James. 
Greg James, the newest presenter, took over from Nick Grimshaw in August 2018, he is a English radio DJ who was born on the 17th December 1985. He was  brought up in Lewisham, south east London and grew up to study Drama at the university of East Anglia in Norwich. 
Recently the listener figures have gained an extra 230,000 people. Greg James currently has a figure of 5.1 million listeners, compared to 4.8 million when Nick was presenting. 
Ben Cooper is the controller of radio 1, he has done this since 2011. The BBC radio is funded through television licence which is charged to all British households, companies and anyone who watches the live television broadcasts, as well as iPlayer catch up. Radio 1 is distinctive, this is shown through then playing nearly 10 times as many different tracks to their rival, Capital. They are well known for presenting a big variety of different entertainment, making them highly different to other stations.
BBC radio stations are very different to commercial stations, this is because of BBC being much stricter on brand mentioning than commercial stations. Most commercial stations are very music based, with barely any interruptions whereas BBC radio is very speech and music based, giving a higher entertainment level in comparison.

My marketing booklet

Top grossing films

The Jungle Book



1. What is the audience score for JB67 and JB16 on rotten tomatoes?
JB67 is 86% rotten tomatoes and JB16 is 95% rotten tomatoes.

2. Summarise some of the positive and negative responses from the audiences
The audiences of both films on a whole reacted really well and loved the films. There was only a few negative comments, mainly on the 2016 version which is because the story slightly changed from the original and it was a lot darker than the 1967 version.

3. Are there any comments that stand out to you in particular? Why?
"The Jungle Book is well-made and deserves recognition as one of the year's best family offerings (thus far)." I found this comment interesting because a lot of people said the remake wasn't as family friendly because it was quite dark compared to the comparison, as could be classed as more of a thrilling film.

4. In your opinion, why do you think merchandise (any any form of cross promotion) appeals to audiences?
I think that merchandise, and cross promotion appeals to audiences because it hypes the film up on a different level. Family audiences would be more attracted to merchandise as they have children who naturally want things which they see from films, because they love the film and want pajamas and cuddly toys from the film. Many older audiences also love merch becasue it maks them feel like a child again, where they get joy from it all.

Film industries

There is different stages of film, these include:
Production - Production is the creation of the film, there is multiple steps into production. The first step is development, this is where the script is written and drafted for the film. After this is the pre-production, this is where preparations for the shoot are taken, in which cast and crew are hired as well as the location being chosen and the sets being made. The actual production comes after this, where the film is recorded. Lastly, post-production takes place, this is where the film is edited, in this step any addition music and effects can be added in as well as any visual effects.

Distribution - This is how the the film goes from being created to getting out to the audience. The film is screened just for the potential buyers (distributors) and it then is picked up by a distributor and a release plan is discussed/developed. After this, the film is duplicated as many times as required so that it can be shared into cinema. This stage includes all the financial deals done to get the film into the cinema screens and to get it promoted.

Marketing - This stage includes th business of creating campaigns to promote/advertise the film, this includes posters, apps and television interviews. Films are usually released with a launch party, press releases, interviews with press and preview screenings, making the hype around the film higher. Most films have a website and trailer to them for the audience to easily access.

Exhibition - This is to do with the way people consume the films, for example, showing the film in cinema and dvd. This stage is all about how the audience see the film and the figures of the box office intake, reviews and the awards that the film achieves. The film is firstly released to cinemas in order to reach its target audience, after this it is released at selected cinemas and the dvd usually follows a few months later.

Ownership is about different film companies owning each other and providing each to her with money, ideas and finance. Major companies own others within the industry as it makes more films easier to produce. The different owner types includes:
Horizontal intergration - This is when the production company expands into other areas of one industry. It can merge with other companies that do the same thing to help eliminate competition, the profits get shared upon each company involved.
Vertical intergration -

Industry

In 1993, 90% of American media was owned by 50 different companies.
This drastically changed over the years, resulting in the same 90% being owned by only 6 different companies (known as the 'big six') in 2011.
This is bad for the media as it means creators loose control and creativity over their work/thoughts. It also means the audience get less variation of the opinions etc.. that they see online as the messages will all be the same as their coming from the same people. Having such a small amount of companies own a lot of  business means that its easier for the media to tell you what to think as there isn't a lot of opinions being shown.

Comcast is the biggest media industry, making $69 billion in revenue a year. This is because they practically own almost everything.
Walt Disney come through at $48 billion in revenue a year, which there is theories it will overtake Comcast once it fully owns 21st century fox who are currently on $32 billion in revenue.

Rupert Murdoch owns news corporation and Sky TV. He owns many newspaper including The sun and The times.
Only 3 companies own 71% of newspaper companies, which is bad as once again, the audience only get to see what are being put out to them which isn't a lot considering their is only 3 companies of thought going into it, which doesn't give a lot of opinion for the audience to bounce off of.

BBC are a public broadcaster, they don't use adverts (unless its promoting their own company) which is better for the audience as they don't have to see irrelevant things which they don't really care about. This is one of the reasons BBC is in competition with Sky.

Global tech giants are becoming more popular, for example, Netflix and apple, because they are new and the audience need new ideas to stay interested.
