Developing Factual Formats will address current issues relating to the development, production, financing, commissioning and global franchising of factual television formats including factual entertainment formats. Students will develop a proposal and produce a taster for a factual programme or series, targeted for broadcast or online commission.
A factual format as almost anything that isn’t drama, news, live sport, or a one-off event or documentary (The Apprentice, First Dates, The Repair Shop, The Great British Bake Off). How would you develop a programme that people will watch?
This module benefits from considerable input from professionals working in the TV industry and your final project will be pitched at BBC Scotland.
