However, from further research I have found out that the majority of BBC 3's target audience don't watch a lot of TV channels. From the Guardian article it stated that "According to OFCOM, children on average watched 101 minutes of “traditional” TV a day last year, while 16- to 24-year-olds watched 114 minutes – far less than the average viewer, who watches 212 minutes a day. Even that figure is down 12% since 2010." This means that the main competitors for BBC 3, especially now that they are online are online TV streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and YouTube.

Mood board:

For my first idea I thought of creating a teen drama as I realised that it was a current popular sub genre that attracts most if not all of my target audience. The ideas I got for the teen drama was having various narrative ideas such as maybe a murder, drug abuse or topics that my target audience would understand and relate to. I also thought of having characters that are easily recognisable and teenagers can relate to.I looked a lot at teen dramas such as Riverdale and Thirteen Reasons Why for inspiration, for example I based a lot of my characters around characters that are used a lot in teen dramas such as the girl next door, the mean girl, the jock ect.
For the mood these are the pictures I have chosen. I choose to include photos of green fields and 'perfect' suburbs as those are the kinds of locations I would want if I was to do a teen drama. These are locations that the audience would be familiar with, which is then adhering to the codes and conventions of a drama. I included characters from Riverdale, Thirteen Reasons Why and Pretty Little Liars as they're all teen dramas that are popular with teens. I choose these specific characters as they follow the stereotypic character conventions in a teen drama; a jock, mean girl, rich girl, girl next door, reject etc. These are the kind of characters I would consider to have if I made a teen drama.

For my second idea, I explored the idea of having a crime drama. I looked at the drama Breaking Bad, specifically for this to see if I could get an idea from that drama. For the characters I explored having maybe a police officer or an investigator that is flawed in some way, like having them be disgraced or that they suffer from some kind of illness. Or maybe a group of teenagers that are gifted and have been chosen by the government to help solve crimes. I also looked into other narrative plot lines such as maybe having a mentally ill victim, I also looked into different kind of crimes such as murder for some inspiration.
For the crime mood board I made sure to add in pictures of police stations, investigating rooms, officers etc. This is because if I was to create a crime drama those would be the locations and sets I would like to have and that would give away to the audience what kind of drama this is. I also made sure to include photos of police officers and private investigates as they are the types of characters I would want in my crime drama and they are relevant characters to have in a crime drama. I also included a photo of a car chase because I think that is one aspect I would like to include in my drama if I was to create a crime genre drama.

For my third idea I looked into the sub genre sci fi, I came up with a lot of narrative themes such as maybe having something based on aliens or demons and maybe create a plot line where they have taken over the earth and its very apocalyptic where the last surviving humans try and survive against the beings that have taken over.
For my mood board, I added in some photos of what the world would like post apocalyptic . I added these in as it would give me an idea on how my set should look like if I was to make this drama. I also made sure to add in some photos of aliens and paranormal characters as it gives me an idea how they should look and give me some inspiration when creating them. I also looked into the drama the Walking Dead as they have the characters I would maybe like in my sci-fi drama.
