An Extract from Doctor Who
Genre: Sci-Fi DramaThe target audience for Doctor Who is Mass because a large number of people watch it from different age ranges but the genre of sci-fi drama could be argued as niche because not everyone like it. I think the target audience starts at 12 years old to 45.

Costume: The characters in the show wear un usual clothing. The doctor wears a long brown coat, waistcoat, shirt and bow tie. Very formal clothing that matches his character being formal, smart and fun with the bow tie. Clara is wearing more of a casual outfit still formal but more relaxed as she wears a black coat with jeans and boots. The people around them however are wearing obscure pieces of clothing showing they are different from the rest. Ranging from long gowns and dresses to them being Knights wearing all metal. They also have makeup on, giving them prosthetics of alien faces, scars and extreme face paint to make them look extra terrestrial.
Acting: The doctor and Clara are very close in age however the age of the other characters vary from very young to old. Setting: Within this scene they are on a different planet from Earth. Clara and the other characters are in a stadium watching the Doctor. Where as the doctor is in a different place outside of walls talking to this creature. Location: This episode is located on a planet. Clear by the open space and moving rocks. |
Costume: Because the story is based in 1983, the costumes are very old fashioned and retro with the bright colours on the hats and clothing. The 4 children are wearing similar clothes, very relaxed with shirts and tack bottoms. The puffed jackets and jeans also is relevant to the time as they are brightly coloured with yellow, red and orange.
Acting: The children are all the same within the programme, Nancy is slightly older than the children and the parents are much older. Setting: The first setting we saw was a hospital, connoting something is wrong. The second setting of the house then the other settings we see are of the outside where it is very dark to connote mystery as well as to scare the audience. Location: The first location is in a hospital, recognisable by the coat the doctor is wearing and the long halls similar to a hospital. The next scene is in a neighbour hood, clear by the road and house the beginning also states that it is based in Indiana. |
