Formal Proposal

Tile: The Rhythm Of Life

Documentary topic: Music

Type of documentary: The documentary will be mixed because it will not focus on one part of music and its uses

Style of documentary: The documentary will be informal with a series theme. We chose this style as our target audience is 16-44 but we also made sure it has the same serious theme within it.

Narrative: The documentary will be non-linear, closed ending and single stranded.

Channel: Channel 4We chose to show our documentary on channel 4 because

this was the TV channel that was selected the most by the audience we asked about our documentary.

Scheduling: Tuesday 8:30-9:00We chose to schedule our documentary just before the

watershed as the content is suitable for children to watch.

Target Audience: 16-44, male and femaleWe chose 16-44 as our target audience for the documentary

as this is the target audience for channel 4.
