The story is about a boy who disappears and his friends, police and mother try to find him. A telekinetic friends helps the friend in their search. The show is set in 1980s in a made up town called Hawkins the whole tv programme has a 1980's pop culture which adds aesthetically.

Not only did it get 95% on rotten tomatoes it also gained 9/10 on IMDB and 9.1/10 from TV.com. Within the first 16 days of streaming it hit 8.2 million viewers. This Show is a Netflix original so it only airs on Netflix. This TV program is not on Barb.co.uk
Another Popular show in the drama genre is Breaking Bad is another crime drama which is about a true story of Walter White who was a chemistry teacher that was diagnosed with lung cancer. So him and a former student Jesse Pinkman both turn to a life of crime by making and selling meth. Walter made the best meth so the buyers kept buying from him. Walter keeps making the meth to secure his families financial future before he dies. Breaking Bad was filmed in Albuquerque in New Mexico. Breaking Bad had originally aired on AMC for five seasons running from January 2008 to September 2013. It is widely saif to be on of the best television series of all time, when the series finale aired it the series was one of the most watched cable shows. A whopping 10.3 million people tuned in for the series finale. This TV program is not on Barb.co.uk
The audience for my Tv show will be both male and female. They will be roughly be aged between 16-40. My Tv series will be aimed at people who already watch Dramas shows and films such as : Taken, Gone baby gone, Kidnap, and Flash which is a freak tv show about a super hero that can move really fast this will relate to my Tv show because its abnormal. Also my show will be aimed at people who love suspense, who love not knowing whats happening until the very end. A lot of consumers of my program will use Facebook as well as Instagram and Twitter. I could use these social networking platforms to advertise my production. Audience member will also like American Horror Story which has a freaky touch to it. So they will like mine because it is the same. I would say big target audience of my TV show will be similar to me, so the audience would have hobbies such as, skateboarding,gaming, surfing, playing the guitar and possibly the gym. The audience could also be in education either college or university. The audience will typically play games like, Far cry which is a first person shooter series which puts players in exotic environments with a huge map to travel on there is lots of exploring to do which links to my TV show, and the elder scrolls which are exploring games with multiple paths to choose the series of games has sold more than 40 million copies. The series is known for its detailed view on open worlds and it free form gameplay which means players can explore the fantasy world instead of sticking to missions. This relates to my TV show as its big and can be explored.
Production Research
In my Show I will need Actors who will be featured to tell my story on the TV show. I would like to keep my actor list little as possible so that the veiwers of the show can get attached and feel the same emotions to all of the actors, ie if one of the character becomes sad I want to viewer to feel the same pain. At the moment I am thinking 3 main characters and 8 side character although this could change as the TV show progresses. Good actors will show their emotions and put themselves in a somebody's feet acting as them. A big time actor is Brad Pitt who is the star on films such as: Fury, World War Z, and Mr and Mr's Smith.
I will need script writers these are the people who will work with the creator and director to create the dialogue and story line for the show for the character to follow whilst on set. This is one of the major parts of the production. The better the script the better the better the show will be which means more viewers and more money. Usually screen writers start their careers writing on spec (writing without being hired or paid) Most professional screen writers will have a talent agency working for them to get them screen writing jobs to do. Armature writers will less likely get paid were as professional writers will. A big time Screen writer is Jon Lucas who was a writer and producer for the Hangover trilogy.
Set Designer and location scouter a set designer is someone who makes sets which is where most of the production takes place. Location scouter go out and find locations to use for the TV show. Both of these will be needed to create beautiful scees. I want this TV show to stand out from all the other TV dramas I want the Scenery to stand out. It is very important that this TV show uses sets that are abnormal and spooky to fit the mise on scene and the aesthetics of the TV show. It is important to have these roles so that it can get done quicker. Most set designers and location scouters work freelance so they can chose their pay and when they want to work. The more known you are for these roles the more money and work you will get. One big set designer is Stephenie Mcmillan who worked on the sets for Harry Potter. My TV show will be bother in studio and locational I think it will be easier to film most of the show inside a studio but having awesome locations is a must for the scenery.
A Director is something every TV show needs that main man who has control over everything that is happening someone who takes charge of the whole production. The director is the one that keeps all the crew members in order and remind them what to focus on whilst filming. The core to the TV show without the director there will be no show. Scripts should always be given to the director. I would like to be the director of the show that I created to make sure than it is done properly to the standard that I want it. If a TV show/film is being produced after a book it is important that the director sticks to the story line of the book as much as he can. A really good Director I like is Martin Scorsese who is responsible for directing The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and Goodfellas (1990)
Camera and sound operators Camera men are needed to film the production. All the camera men on my production have to be highly talented. They have to use the right angles and frames in order to keep the aesthetics in the show. Sound operators are needed to make sure that the voiceovers are on point. Camera operators mainly work free lance they can be hired on dvcamhire.co.uk working as freelance they can chose their own pay and when they work. The more known and more experienced camera and sound operators will charge the most money for their services. However some camera and sound operators will be contracted to work on sets and will get a salary wage instead of a freelance wage. There are no famous camera or sound operators as it is a basic job.
Video and sound editors After all the production has been done its time for the post pre-production this the part where the film comes alive with special effects which is were extraordinary parts of the film is made on the computer and can not be made in real life, cut out of the film footage which is for party of the footage that are not needed in the film, effects of the film for example the filter (the colour of the footage) . The sound editors are the ones who then add soundtracks to the TV show the also put on sound effects such as car crash noises, horses riding the best way to do that is to hit two half's of coconuts together. Sound editor jobs are the easiest to get as less people do the job. It is important that the TV show has top quality sound effects because this will help the realism of the show. The editors play a big part of the atmosphere of the show because they can change the toning of the film. Also the sound editors can change the atmosphere with the music they put in.
Producers
Film producers have a variety of roles they can either be employed by a production company or work independently to coordinate and make aspects of a TV production, this can be selecting scripts coordinating writing, editing or directing and also takes control of the finances for the show. The producer also has to find the screen writer for the show unless the show is based of a book. There are multiple ways of becoming a producer some film schools offer the degree that does include TV and film production knowledge some people have started as editor and writer then turn into producers other producers have come from being directors and actors.
Equipment
For TV shows that have low budgets equipment can be hired from hireacamera.com you can hire : Lighting from £48 per day, cameras from £72 to £260 per day, tripods and grips from £11 per day, camera lenses from £10 per day, monitors from £12 per day, boom microphones from £9 per day
this website is great for hiring out sound and video recording equipment. Although if a TV show has a big budget it can splash out the money to buy its own equipment to produce the TV which is better because you wouldn't have to worry about giving the equipment back and once you've got it its yours.
I will need cameras to film the actors on set and in Location I will need microphones to record the sound and dialogue from the characters. Cameras already come with audio capturing capabilities but the quality of audio recorded is not that good so I will need external boom and rod microphones to capture the audio. I will need lighting, most of the filming will be done in the dark exterior and interior so lighting is a essential as it is important to see the characters and other things. I will need tripods to keep the camera still whilst its in pursuit of filming the show. If the camera was shaky the footage would be blurry also it makes the footage look better when the camera is still. I will need computer with editing software to edit the footage and sound footage.
Synopisis episode on: Five brothers are playing hide and seek in a forest around their house one of them who is on finds three of the brothers but cannot find the fourth hider. Eventually the four brothers all end up looking for their brother getting more and more scared as time goes on. After three hours of looking the go running to their mum who is at home. They tell her and at first she thinks they're just being silly and thinks he is just still hiding. She goes out to look for him anyway. After 30 minutes she stats getting concerned and worried after an hour passes she rings the police crying knowing that her son is lost or has been abducted. The cops arrive to the forest of which the kid has been lost. After the mother tells the Sargent what has happened he calls a search party. Everyone in the town including the 4 other brothers go out looking for the 9 year old boy. Everyone is shocked because they live in a nice neighbourhood were nothing like this happens.
Episode two; The mother starts getting depressed knowing that the possibility of her son living is slim and it is dropping. 3 days after searching the police call it quits but the brothers still think he is out there. Meanwhile their dad comes to see them. They've never seen their dad ever before. He was a deadbeat a nobody that didn't do anything for them. There mum hated him being there but he insisted that he wanted to help look for his son. The boys didn't pay interest to their father.
Episode three: The Sargent finds clothes in the forest he runs them back to the mum and asks if they were her boys. And they are this opens a world of possibilities for the watcher. The kid could be still alive so the search is called back on.
The same report just spell checked and proof read.
My idea is to create a TV show about 5 boys who live with their mum in a farm house in America. One of the boys gets abducted and nobody knows what or who has taken him.
The genre of my TV show will be drama and Horror.

This Show is a Netflix original so it only airs on Netflix. This TV program is not on Barb.co.uk so I can't find the official weekly viewers. This relates to my TV show as it has an unpredictable story line also someone gets abducted in stranger things.
