In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media product?

Codes and conventions of a documentary

BBC3 was the most appropriate channel to air our products because it primarily targets young audiences and is the only BBC channel that does.Although we looked for alternative channels such as E4 but we found out that E4 is not suitable for our target audience as it doesn't attract the type of audience that we are trying to draw in. So we chose to developed the form and conventions of a documentary to suit the style of BBC3

'Out of the Dark' is the brand name of our documentary although all series carry a theme and this episode focuses on 'Sex, Moods and Teenager', this is similar to BBC3's documentaries where all the documentaries are shown within a season and follow the theme of that season. Currently the theme is "Bringing Up Britain", which is all about real stories from parents and the joys and struggles of being a parent. The season our documentary would have been shown in was "Dangerous Pleasures Season", as it addressed sexual health and issues concerning drugs, although it works well within both the current season and this previous theme. "Dangerous Pleasures Season" theme was running at the time our documentary was due to air and we were aiming to educate young people on sexual health.

Here are some visual comparison between an existing product and our documentary. As seen above we have followed most of the form and generic convention  of a real media text as explained in the video annotation. However one huge thing that i would say challenges as well as develops our production is the fact that we have a teenager as our presenter and the reason this develops our production is because she appeals directly to our demographics.
