TECHNNOOPHOBESS

BBC Three is launching a new program called “Technophobes”, following the lives of five people who are afraid of technology.

AUDIENCE: 

 The program will appeal to average BBC Three audience as BBC three target audience is 16 - 34 years old for all types of programs viewed on their channel also those ages are the newer generation who are into technology and still discovering the world of technology. The audience will fall into the socio-economic categories is C1, C2 who can afford the technology so that they will be interested in watching a documentary about technology and E as that is where the students fall into and the younger generation.   

INSTITUTION: 

It will be shown at roughly 10:30, after the watershed so that swearing and other things can be included such as any sexual activities. Because the prime time is past 9pm and this program will not be for family target audience   


MEDIA FORMS: 
Many BBC Three I watch are Observational and expository  documentary and the codes and convention that should be inputted into program and that in expository documentary there is a voice over and no presenter and interviews with the subject and in a observational documentary will allow the cameras to be hidden and this allows them to behave naturally as subjects try to get over their phobia.  

REPRESENTATION: 

I would expect a negative representation of the 'Technophobes' as they are living in the 21st century and have not been able to adapt to the 21st century lifestyle. 

WEB BLOG REVIEW:

Have seen the new programme? OMG!! I don't know what has happened to people in the world they are scared of everyday technology. The show is called ‘Technophobes’ shown on BBC3. Seriously? I mean how you could be scared of laptops, phones, even television. Well one of the girls called Yeshi who is 17 years  was scared of picking up the house phone well that is ridiculous seriously that was not normal especially for someone who is around my generation. Plus a man was frightened for April as digital switch over was going to happen tell me what the hell was all that about. But besides the bizarre of this programme is was really entertaining also informative , I learnt a lot about how people brains work with phobias and what part of the brain it actually affects and weird phobias are to do with different story from each person. Great show, weird subject. :-)
