TREATMENT

YORKSHIRE LASSES

YLtv Production- broadcasted March 28th

 

THE BRIEF

We have been set the task of producing a 5-minute TV programme. We are going to produce Yorkshire Lasses which is a young adult drama focusing on four main teenage girls and the various aspects of their life.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience for this soap opera will be mainly of a female gender, between the ages of 16 and 25. This is due to the main characters of the show being of this gender and age, therefore meaning that they will be relatable and have similar issues to the viewers. The NRS social grade of the target audience will be ABC1C2; this is because the topics and genre of the show can appeal to a large range of people, but with more of a focus on the lower middle class due to the accents, location and issues raised etc. The show will also be open to attract a variety of ethnicities.

 

SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

The first episode begins in a nail bar with the four girls and Cheryl begins to explain the issues with her boyfriend Carl and affair Jeremy. It then cuts back to the nail bar where the girls discuss more of their problems, including Amy’s stressful conversation with Ryan. This links to the brief as it has plenty of drama included in it and focuses on the lives of the four main characters.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

We need to ensure that all the locations we are going to use are risk assessed so that there are no health and safety problems. Two of the locations we are using will be houses of a number of team members; therefore we know they are safe.

We will do recce sheets and risk assessments for each of the locations to ensure that no harm can be caused to any of the team members, including the actors. We also needs to ensure that the equipment being used in each location will be safe and at no chance of damage.

 

 

LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Within the TV episode we will make sure that no offence is caused to anyone of any race, gender, ethnicity or sexuality. We will use language that is suitable for all genders, ethnicities, sexualities and race, therefore causing no reason for any legal or ethical issues included in the show.

Finally we will need consent forms for everyone that will star in the show so that they agree to our terms and conditions, therefore preventing any legal and ethical issues when it comes to the consent of the actors/actresses. We will also need consent forms for certain locations, for example the nail bar; we will need a consent form from whoever is in charge of the business.
