Synopsis
The five minute clip we have decided to show is from around 10 minutes of the documentary. The clip will start with a short clip of the band, just coming off stage and returning to a backstage party. This is supposed to introduce our audience to this notoriously successful and “reckless” band. After this short clip we will then cut to a title screen for the programme, the title screen and the opening scene will both be accompanied by music.
After the title shot the programme will start with a voiceover giving information on the band, this is played while members of the band are arriving at a nearby studio/practice area. Some of the band are preparing to be interviewed and some of the band are playing their instruments. The voiceover then stops and The band then sit down as the interviewer begins to interview them, the band are quite reluctant to be interviewed and this will be clear as they will make it uncomfortable for the interviewer. Throughout the interview the band the footage of the interview gets stopped as it is interrupted by clips of the band partying and playing shows this is all done with scrappy hand held cameras to give it real feeling as if you are there.
After this clip is shown it then goes to an ad break but before that, it says what is coming up after the break which shows you a few clips, such as talking to the bands producer about their first album and what the band were like to work with. Also the band on set of their video shoot and how the band is coping with fame and how it has affected them.

Suggested Audience
The audience for this programme will be from 16+ who are interested in music. It is for 16+ because it is post watershed content and involves drugs, bad language and violence. The band are very popular amongst young people and so should draw a big audience. Although we say it is suitable for 16+ the main audience we are aiming for is 18 to 30 years old because they have shown the main interest in the bands career.

Run Time:
The run time for this extract is 5 minute, this was part of our brief. The 5 minutes is supposed to look like it comes from a full 60 minute documentary.
Network aired on:
Our programme would air on Channel 4, in the time slot 10pm – 11pm, at first we considered bbc three, because lots of similar documentaries are aired on there but of course bbc three has no adverts and we thought a programme with adverts is easier to map out our ideas. So we decided to choose channel 4, our second best option. In the long run we also decided that channel 4 would attract us more viewers as it is a popular network for the the younger generation, which is our target audience.

Suggested elements:
Throughout our documentary we will be using voice pops where the interviewer is heard but not seen this is to help the audience follow the band and also let the audience know how he is feeling about filming the band.
