3. Primary research: Textual Analysis
Plan b, Leona and Labrinith: Project Hackney
This documentary is about Plan b Leona and Labyrinth going to their schools and helping the
young people with their music and then they would have a show case to see what they have
been doing over the 3 weeks.
This documentary is made by Kaye Goodman
It was funded by the BBC and was showed on Saturday 7 July 2012
1. This documentary is similar to mine because it is music related as a subject but not the
same topic about music, this documentary is about how music can change peoples lives and
how it can have a positive impact on young people.
2. The mode of the address of this documentary is optimistic because it is show how music
can have a positive side, its also informal because of the it is filmed, it seems relaxed.
3. The style of this documentary is fly on the wall. The style of this is different to mine because
mine would be an Investigative documentary.
4. The conventions that are used in this documentary are;
Cutaways- They have used cutaways affectively for example in the beginning when they
narrator is talking about East London being the focus of the world, they show a picture of the
Olympic stadium. This is to give the audience better understanding
Voice over – This is how the story is being told but using a voice over, it sound like an older male
doing the voice over for this documentary.
Realism- This situation is real and it relevant to lots of young people, they have used a handheld
camera in the necessary part where needed to show realism.

4. Secondary research: Qualitative research
Secondary Quantitative Research
1) I have looked through BBC3 online and there is one documentary that has a
similar topic as my documentarybecause it is music relate. The Documentary I
found is called ‘Plan b, Leona &Labrinth: Project Hackney’.
2) I found several documentaries that have the same investigative mode as mine. For
example, Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents , Unsafe sex in the city. I think my
documentary would best fit Arts, Culture & the Media because mine documentary
literally deals with the Culture of Carnival and who the Media shows it.
3) There are only five out of 284 documentaries on this channel that actually have
the similar to mine in some way, for example Unsafe sex in the city, The town that
caught tourettes, Plan b, Leona &Labrinth: Project Hackney , Stacey Dooley in the
USA, Can we trust the police and Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents.
This charts shows how much per cent if documentaries are similar to mine.

5. Who do these programs appeal to and how?
Type of research method Why this method is effective?
Primary Qualitative Research- I think it is better to This will enable me to find out specifically when doing a
proceed a interviews with my friends as I will obtain interviews with my friends with my teenage target
a myriad of personal opinions about the factual audience what they actually like about a factual programs
programs, particularly from teenagers. or what is it about the programs that appeals to them, for
example, Extraordinary Stories.
Secondary Quantitative Research – list all the This method is effective because I will focus on just one
different types of factual programs that I have find mainstream channel which is BBC3 I am going to look at
out through the TV guide. Ask a specific target the audience of this channel and how is relate to the
audience mainly teenagers about which one is their different programs that are shown for the same target
most favourite one. The one that is the most popular audience as mine.
indicates that that certain factual program aims to
target teenagers as it appeals to them perfectly.

6. Primary research: Interview with friends
To find out who these programs appeal to and how I have conducted discussions with
some of my friends who have watched programs like Sun, Sex and suspicious parents,
Unsafe sex in the city and Plan b, Leona and Labrinth: Project Hackney. All of the people
I asked watch these programs and enjoy these types of programs. From I research found
that they watch these programs because they are informative and they show you some
of life that you don't always get to see and they have important information like sexual
health. They appeals to them because they are based on people that are of the same
age or live in a local area to them. The Hackney oneappeals to them because it is
presented by artists that I likethe people I asked said that they think these programs
appeal teenagers because they are based on young people so young people would
watch it and for the Hackney project because they are doing the project with teenagers
which will appeal mainly to teenagers.

7. Secondary Qualitativeresearch:

8. Type of research method Why this method is effective?
Primary Quantitative Research – I will conduct a This method will be highly effective because I can ask
survey about Carnival. I will specifically design for them what is missing in the factual programming
my target audience. market which is similar to my program and appeals to
teenagers. What hasn’t my target audience yet seen in
the factual programs. Then, I will count in order of
what is expected from my target audience.
Secondary Qualitative Research – where I will be
investigate two or three channels on existing
programs. I will be analyzing on their target
audience, modes, style and anything that I can
link to my program.

9. Primary Research : Questionnaire
100% of the people I asked said that they
think this would be a good idea.
100% of my target audience said that they
would watch my documentary because it
Would be interesting.
100% of my target audience said that my
documentary would be best as a investigative
documentary, investigating the culture of
carnival and how it is represented .
My target audience said that
the documentary would best
be informal and direct.

10. I only got two responses for this question,
made a good point saying that I should get
peoples likes and dislikes about carnival to
make it more interesting.
I only got two responses for this question,
They said I could interview carnival
organisers, police teenagers and parents of
the young people that are in or go to
Carnival. This would be a good idea
because I would getting all different
opinions. Also I could get their opinion on
how they think the ‘Media represents carnival.
I only got two responses for this question,
They said that Soca and drake would best fit
this documentary. I think Soca would more
relate because carnival is all about the Soca
and Calypso. In Carnival there might not be a lot
Of RnB music.

11. My idea fills a gap in the market because;
Presenters – The presenter in my documentary would be a young person, they
would be aged between 16-24. I have chose this because I haven't found a
documentary that has a young presenter so it would bring something new. I
also chose this age to present because this age is my target audience.
Topic – The topic of my documentary is about Carnival and this hasn't been
explored yet so me doing this documentary will be different and will be
interesting to my target audience.
Length- I haven't found any documentary that are 5 minutes long that are aired
on BBC3 so this would be unique.
Audience- My documentary has the same target audience as some
documentaries on BBC3 like Plan b, Leona and Labrinth: Project Hackney and
Unsafe sex in the city but my documentary has a different topic to these other
documentaries so I think the audience will enjoy watching this one.
