story lines / types work.
6. What Does The Research
Tell Us?
• The Facebook groups were very
helpful to find our target audience
because the majority of people that
joined the fan groups are aged
between 13 - late 20s. The amount of
people that because a fan were over
the 10s of thousands, showing that
this genre has a huge following
already, that could become a potential
audience.

life at a performing arts/ talent school.
We look at the relationships and the girls trying
to succeed their dreams.
This is a Musical Comedy genre.
It looks at everyday relationships that the
audience will already be familiar with.

between best friends - PEOPLE CAN RELATE.

13. SWOT: STRENGTHS.
The market for musical comedies is very wide;
they all continue to reuse the same conventions
but people still want to watch shows/ films on
people trying to achieve their dreams and
showcasing their talent.
The added extra of comedy to the genre makes the
audience a lot more wider.
People loved Glee, and our show is similar to Glee
but it is more about performing in general
compared to a group of people singing.
14. SWOT: WEAKNESSES
Shows such as Glee have already opened the door
to show choir, and films have already looked at
dance and performance schools such as Fame, &
Step Up. This means that our audience may
already be fed up with the whole scenario, so we
have to add something with more edge to our web
show.
Pulling off a “convincing” performance school, which
the characters being convincing as well.
15. SWOT: OPPORTUNITIES
Being playful with the genre.
Potential audience from dance/ Glee fanatics.
who literally are interested with anything to do with these shows!
This idea is full of opportunity to play around with
the characters as well.
16. SWOT: THREATS
• Being Convincing.
• The public might not want to
watch a WEB show because Glee
and similar shows are already
popular.
