Summary of Secondary Audience Research


Summary of Secondary Audience Research

Georgie Field
My Involvement within the Secondary Audience Research consisted of looking at the audience views and comments on social networking websites and IMDB. I have found out the target audiences of two E4 sitcoms and have learned what the general views are from the audience. Also, I have learned that some fan pages use questions on characters or a specific episode to find out what the audience think of them. This then therefore will help me and my group when creating our own Situation Comedy, as I have learnt why certain characters are peoples favorites.

As part of Charley's involvement withing the group, as part of the Secondary Audience Research, she has looked into the viewing figures of our four sitcoms form E4. After looking into the viewing figures, she has found that the most popular sitcoms were The Inbetweeners and The IT Crowd. This may be due to the way in which the situations in the shows are similar to the life of the target audience. I feel that this is the  important when creating our own sitcom as we need to be able to receive the most amount of views possible.

Lois's involvement within the group for Secondary Audience Research consisted of looking at reviews of Situation Comedies. From these reviews she found that people get bored with some sitcoms as they are all the same e.g. the narratives and characters. She also found out that the stereotypes within sitcoms help the audience to understand the characters and that the jokes need to be modern and relatable.
