BBC 1:
BBC One is mainly aimed at most people and usually families, as you can guess by the name, it is the most popular with it's range reaching over 80% of the population in the United Kingdom, because of that percentage it is one of the most popular channels on Television.
It features different kinds of drama including favourites like Doctor Who, Eastenders and Casualty.
Each is an extremely different genre an attracts a wide range of people from all classes of society, but they all have one thing in common. They are all aimed at the mainstream audience so if something became incredibly popular on BBC Two they would try and fit in onto the BBC One schedule
BBC 2:
BBC Two's aim is to get writers and directors to have a certain perspective on the world, it usually shows Crime and Murder series or be completely different and show nature programs like David Attenborough's Blue Sea, or Documentaries about countries like The Birth of Australia.
BBC Two always has a continuous series on the channel, once one ends, another is advertised. They say this is to keep people involved with the channel and because the age range on this channel is 25-60, These drama's are usually quite intelligent and well thought out, these short series usually run from between just 3 and 6 episodes or 90 minute singles. squeezing huge stories into these short lovable chapters.
BBC 3:
BBC Three's content is a lot more comedy based, having shows like Family Guy, American Dad, Bad Education, but they are currently showing a drama called Bluestone 42 but even this has quite a few comedic elements. Because of the comedic element the age range is about 16-34.
It especially attracts teenagers because of the funny cartoons like Family Guy and American Dad. The character show different ways of life but each episode has it's own message to the younger audience.

The Role Of The Writer L.O.R
The role of the writer
What changes had to be made from the original book to the screen play?
Originally, they wanted the 3 books to go into one film, but Miramax told them to go elsewhere, as Peter Jackson didn't have the right funds.
They then found Newline who saw it as 3 films, so scripts were re-written to fit each film for when they were released.
Making larger roles for the female characters was incredibly important because they also wanted a female audience as well as a male audience, if they didn't decide to give females important roles then the fan base would be male dominated. There is a need to expect strong female characters so that females feel like they are included in the film.
for example Arwen only has a short poem in the book, but in the film she was given the role of Frodo's sort of guardian angel and gave him an elven sword to light his way in darkness, he also saw her in dreams and visions when he needed guidance.
Exposition -
Exposition is a way of describing what's happened previously in a story before the audience start watching.
Star Wars did this with a short synopsis of what the characters have just done and what are about to do which gets you up to speed straight away.
Actors and Script Writing -
The script usually give draft scripts to the actors, telling them that if they have an idea on how a character should sound like, act like, or be based off of. Then the actors should express their opinions
