After the mini briefing we had in December as well as the full one, i began to start thinking about some of my own ideas before i came together with Aimee to brainstorm. At first i was looking into an idea of a younger, mixed version of ITVs Loose Women; a format that really works in some ways is restrictive in terms of its audience, it mainly targets women who are housewives or retired due to the fact it is daytime TV. Therefore i thought about perhaps creating a similar, topical magazine/discussion show that features either younger people or just a mixed gender panel.
However i think that i would struggle with this idea because part of the reason Loose Women is so successful is because the panellists are known people who the audience connect with, without this it perhaps wouldn't be as successful. Obviously within the realms of a student tv production it would be unlikely that we would be able to get contributors who have the same effect with this audience and therefore i am not sure that this idea would work.
Another idea i had was a chat show based upon locally based stories and talent. This would involve having a main host who would bring a guest onto the show who what have an interesting and engaging story to tell (whether this be light hearted stories or extraordinary heart warming ones is to be determined), this would be someone local to where we are. Furthermore another section of the show would be local talent, this would include any talent we could find either dancing groups, singing or less traditional and more unique talents. I think this could work because it is real stories, there isn't anything that would need to be created, the challenge would be finding these contributors, if they have a good story/talent to show then it would work. Perhaps the premise of the show could be that it moves town to town each week to find 'local stories and talent'
