Proposal and Treatment

Treatment:
'Some Boys' is a sitcom based on four teenage boys who are about to finish their last year of sixth form. It will mainly be based in their school and sometimes in one of the boys' home and sometimes the local chicken and chip shop. The sitcom will feature them going through some tough times and see how their accomplishments as a group of friends are achieved. A typical situation that might happen is because it's their last year of school and their in the exam period, one of the boys, Calum, is having some problems and didn't study, so right before he goes in he panics and takes in some cheat notes, and after a while he gets caught out and gets sent out. 

Characters:
There will be four main characters in the sitcom, and they will be:
  • Jerome: He is the leader in his group of friends
  • Calum: He is the one that likes to take all the risks
  • Tyrone:He is the sensible one.
  • Harry: He's the smart one of the group.
Target Audience:
The target audience for my sitcom would probably range between high school ages and adulthood ages, so 14 - 30's.

Facts and Opinions:
I think that my sitcom is a good idea because I feel like it will relate to a lot of people that are going through the same sort of things that is happening in the sitcom and also people that have been through it already. This sitcom has kind of been done before but not in the same way. I think it will be an enjoyment to the target audience because it's very relatable. The show that this is similar too is the sitcom 'Some Girls'. this also life struggles and experiences but with teenage girls.


TV Channel
This sitcom will air on BBCThree at 9.30pm.
Improvements
During the time that I have been thinking about my sitcom, there were a few changes that I done. At first I didn't know what sort of sitcom I wanted to do and what sort of genre I wanted it to be. Finally I thought of the genre and I went with teen drama/comedy. After thinking about the genre, it was time to think about what sort of name would go worth the genre. Thinking about the name was a little difficult because I didn't know what would go with the genre. I had a few names in mind and after thinking about it for a while I finally came up with the name. I had a few ideas about the names, one was "Rude Boys" and "Some Boys". After picking the title "Rude Boys" I thought I had a good thing going but then when I thought about it again and again, I thought that the title didn't match the sitcom, so I decided to change it to "Some Boys" because I thought that it would be better matched to the sitcom because the sitcom is basically just some boys and their experiences and their journey. 

Other than the ideas about what kind of genre I wanted and what the title should be, nothing changed after that because once I did for hire out the genre and title, everything was quite simple because it all just fell into place.
