Whilst we were carrying out our research, we briefly looked at the types of shows our tv channel would include. As we need to create our own original ideas for 21TV, Ruth and I have each looked at shows that would be suited to our channel, and put our own twist on them, using the idea to create our own.
Our researched showed us that the most popular category of programme is reality tv. Geordie Shore is a good example of the type of popular reality show young adults like to watch, including most of my friends, and their friends! Based on this, I am going to use Geordie Shore as the inspiration for the programme I am going to create.
Geordie Shore is a reality tv show series, which is the British adaption of the American show Jersey Shore. It is broadcast on MTV, and was first shown on British television in May 2011.
So far there have been 5 series, in which the cameras follow the lives of the cast, who all live together in a house for the purpose of the show. All of the cast are young adults, with their ages ranging from 20 - 26. There are both male and female cast. The purpose of the show is for none other than entertainment reasons, which is one of the reasons it is so popular. It is the type of programme you don't have to think about, you can just watch, enjoy and laugh.
It is set in Newcastle, with all the cast being 'Geordie'.
21TV Show Idea
As Geordie Shore is based on Jersey Shore, there are two of the same thing already being broadcast. This means there is no gap in the market for another show which is the same. To put a twist on it, and draw in viewers, I am going to create a programme with the same sort of principle, but with female housemates only. Being a female channel, this should suit well to our audience.
Seeing as we live on the Isle of Man, I am going to create the show to be based here, like Geordie Shore is based in Newcastle, and Jersey Shore is based in New Jersey. I will not name it ***** Shore, however as both the existing shows are affiliated with MTV, and ours will be shown on 21TV, therefore will need a different name so to not impose any copyright infringement.
I have decided to keep the cast within the same sort of age group, and also keep with the idea of them living together in a house, however the show will introduce challenges and tasks for the cast, instead of the cameras simply following what they choose to do.
I have had a think about a name for the show I am going to create, and have decided on 'Ayre You Ready?' The Point of Ayre is the northernmost point of the Isle of Man. It is mainly countryside, and coast. For the show, I thought the house the cast live in could be set in the Point of Ayre, as it would provide plenty of opportunity for outdoor challenges, and would only be a taxi ride away from the main towns. 'Are you ready?' is a term often used before somebody embarks upon a task or challenge, so the name 'Ayre You Ready?', I feel is very fitting to the show.
I will be able to use friends to pose as the cast for the images to be used on the website, as most of them are female and aged 18-22.
