Magna Carta research


Who are we and who are we  targeting?

The target audience for our documentary will be teenagers from the age of 13 to young adults aged 21, it will also be aimed at both sex groups in order to attract a bigger audience.

Our company name is Original Blossom Studios, we chose this name because its original. The blossom represents the beauty of life and peoples willingness to learn.

The media organisation we decided to target is BBC because it is a Freeview channel meaning we would be able to attract a wider audience as this channel is available on all TVs, they are also a British company which is relevant due to the fact that Magna Carta originally began in England, Runnymede.


Angle of film/ Storyline
We decided to take an informal approach when exploring the history of Magna Carta as we would like it to include humour and witty comments to intrigue the audience aged between 13-25.

Storyline:
The storyline will begin from the birth of Magna Carta up until present day, it will explain the advantages and tragedies that have occurred from the Magna Carta.
This will include the civil wars that have erupted in England and how the Americans adopted Magna Carta to assist with their political dilemmas.
As well as this we will also include a special quiz to conclude the documentary as well as a chance to win a prize related to the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.
Presenters
Due to the age of our target audience and the sex of which we are aiming for, we decided that we would like to have two presenters of each sex, we would prefer them to be aged 18-20 as this is the in the middle of 13-25 year olds.
We would like our presenters to have detailed knowledge on Magna Carta, we like them to be fun, welcoming, happy and attractive. They must be  passionate about Magna Carta and the history behind it, this will make the documentary more captivating for audience members.

Influential documentaries
One very influential documentary we have seen is ‘David Starkey Magna Carta’ this was due to it’s overflowing amount of information about the Magna Carta and how it’s influenced history up until the present day.
This documentary took an academic approach to appeal more to those of senior age, whereas due to our target audience we are taking more of a witty and humorous approach to keep our audience intrigued.
Unique selling point
Our film should be made because our approach to the documentary will be humorous and witty which will appeal to our target audience, it will have the ability to hook the audience from the very beginning of the documentary till the very end.
