Technophobes.

Technophobes is a program which is launching by BBC Three this is a show which follows the life’s of 5 people who are scared of technology

Technophobe is a documentary which is featured on BBC Three. BBC Three main target audience is 12-40 years old this is because BBC Three have different range of programs on their channel which are basically aimed at ages around 12-40. The audience is divided into socio economic classes for example this will be for the class C1 & C2 this means that the people that are able to afford technology.

The institution is when the program will be broadcasted on BBC Three. After the watershed which is after 10.30pm the program will be broadcasted as children will not be permitted to watch this program as it won’t exactly be appropriate for them.

The expected program which I expect to see on BBC Three is documentary as the codes and conventions that the program has is expository documentary as there is a voice in the background. Also observational documentary will allow the hidden cameras to find out more truthful things as no one knows and they are able to behave naturally as subjects try to get over their phobia which they are scared of.

Technophobes representation I think it’s a negative program as now there is so much technology around us which makes it unbelievable for the people who have technophobia to get over there fear for example we have mobile phones, I pad’s, computers, laptops televisions and many more

Poetic perspectives which disclose information about the historical world and see with ideas to seem romantic or didactic
advances arguments about the historical world

Observational documentary
Described as direct cinema
interventionist/ interactive mode
Sidesteps issues by creating two different modes that cover observational and interactive of representation
e.g. Wiseman
It allowed filmmaker to record unobtrusively what folks did when not explicitly addressing the camera.
Include representative & revealing moments

Reflexive documentary

Conventions of representation and themselves more apparent to challenge the impression of reality
