Section 1: Public service broadcasting

Every household in the UK has a TV license if they watch TV. The fine for not paying a TV licenses fee is £1000.
BBC channels are all funded by the TV license fee.
Sky get money from adverts, Broadband services.

Remit (The responsibility of the programme)- All BBC programmes have to inform, educate and entertain.
- The BBC are not allowed to advertise other brands during a programme.

Public service broadcasting- This means that programmes are made for the public. There are no advertisements.

Public service broadcasters generally transmit programming that aims to improve society by informing viewers.

Public service broadcasters also strive to entertain their viewers.

Funding
75% of the BBCs funding comes from the licence fee.
The remaining income comes from commercial activities such as:
-Worldwide sales of its programmes

Structure of the BBC

The BBC is a cross-media organisation- one of the largest in Europe.

This means it is vertically and horizontally integrated.

Vertical Integration- In which a media company has the ability to control the production, distribution and exchange (consumption) of a product.

Horizontal Integration- In which a media company has a number of subsidiary companies that are used to support the marketing of its products.




BBC Case Study: Doctor Who

Synergy
Companies that are both vertically and horizontally integrated are able to create synergy across whatever it is they are making.
This means they are able to promote their output- for example, Doctor Who- in an efficient and profitable manner, whilst at the same time creating a recognisable brand.

Mise-en-scene (Lighting, customers, setting)
- Many different settings, takes place at different times. Intrigues audience.
- Customers are low budget.
- Lighting: Dark lighting. Creates fear and builds tension.

Sound
-Diegetic sound: heavy breathing dialogue
-Non-diegetic: Narration music/soundtrack
-Sonic screwdriver: instantly recognisable.
-Sound bridge: Heavy breathing.

Cinematography
-Close ups of new faces: Highlights their importance
-Tracking shots: showing the settings
-Wide shots: putting into perspective: makes the audience feel intimidated.
-Low angles: Makes the character 'The Doctor' look superior. THE HERO.

Editing
-Editing starts off with slo, long tables before a cut. As the trailer continues, the editing speeds up with many more cuts:- This may suggest the pace of the upcoming season
-May create suspense.
-Title cards
-Many cuts to black and times fades back in.

    Your notes on the BBC are clear - I would consider improving the layout with colour, bold, italics, images, subheadings and more examples though.

    However, the Dr Who analysis is ta long way below expectations. A textual analysis consists of denotation (which you have offered in a note form - not enough detail for GCSE, let alone technical) and connotation (an explanation of meaning, with reference to the audience, genre, and/or representation).

    I expect for this work to include four paragraphs, each focusing on a different one of the four technical aspects). Each paragraph should include two points laid out as follows:
    - Point (identify the technique)
    - Example (detailed description of the content of the technique - the denotation)
    - Explain (explain the meaning of the connotation as laid out above)

    In total then, for this work I am expecting eight points, two for each technical aspect.

    Please leave a comment below as a reflection on feedback and explaining any changes you have made - focus on the ones I have laid out above.
