Bristol Hill: My TV Drama

For my title sequence the show introduces a fictional text, the show is set in Bristol but the events that happen are fictional - the name Bristol Hill is a fictional name to represent the area in which the events take place. The Tone I aimed for was light-hearted, fun and upbeat as I wanted it to appeal to teenagers therefore it needed to catch their attention rather than if it was a serious tone. The function of the text is to entertain the audience instead of overload them with information, it will have a few on screen titles but it won't be over the top, it will just be enough to keep the viewer entertained by looking at the shots of Bristol;Specifically to the audience in Bristol it will represent some familiarity.

The audience I aimed to address were teenagers ages between 15-19 therefore I aimed to make it more entertaining, in the scenes within the opening titles it will show some things that the teenagers will have done i.e. shop, hang around at the shop etc. Therefore from this they can relate to the chracters in the show without actually seeing any of the events featured in that episode. I think it would appeal more to people in the south west as that is where the show is based compared to attracting an audience from the north east. I think it will appeal to more women than men as typically more women watch more TV drama's however this show will have a few events which will cater to the male attention and so it could have a good male following to accompany the female base.

The sequence is made up of live action shots of the scenes, i.e. people throwing a ball or shopping which will capture the everyday life therefore will get more attention as opposed to being seen an animation as it wont be as relatable or might not grab the attention. The title sequence will have been editied so it is quite fast moving and wont last very long as otherwise people may start to lose interest if it lasts a long time, the fast moving scenes will ensure that the audience stay around to watch.


The title sequence will last around 30-40 seconds as I don't want it to be too long also there will be a clear division to when the sequence ends and the text starts because I don't want the viewers to feel like it moves too fast and they may have missed something.

The opening sequence links to the program as it shows the establishing shots to where the show takes place i.e some scenes from the show may happen in the shots in the sequence - This is due to the fact the show is based in and around bristol. The iconography will be things related to the image of teenagers i.e. fun, carefree, shopping etc - Therefore in relation to the text it will represent some of the teenagers and their lifestyles.

The music to ensure this will be more like neighbours or hollyoaks than it will be eatenders or corrie, this is due to the fact I want to attract a younger audience therefore the music being upbeat will ensure that it reflects the kind of music the audience will listen to i.e. pop. Some sound effects could be added in like the sound of the train, or chatter at the park just to make it seem realistic compared to the music just silencing everything else.










It can relate to other TV Dramas like hollyoaks, waterloo road and neighbours. This is because they're all shows based on teenagers and young people and attract a similar audience, they have similar music i.e. upbeat, happy, fast like the one mine will have. Also in the titles is shows some of the scenes in which the show is set but also they move quite fast paced in a bid to keep the attention of the audience.
