Knowing the television market in the 21st century, most people just watch things that are internet related, I thought of a series to create from the popular internet service Netflix. Popular content is being put onto Netflix because of the services growth in profit and market research targeting the people who like to watch certain films and genres. One example is the Netflix series Stranger Things, the unexpected fandom of this series sky rocketed into already giving it the green light for a season 2. In the amount of 16 days in July alone 8.2 million people clicked and tuned in to watch it and research showed that this series was more popular then House of Cards.
My idea:
This idea came to me while just watching an episode of The Young Ones. I realised that most popular TV Shows and films have a gimmick when a series can take place in one specific location, these types of shows one such as the young ones take place in a big fancy house. Shows like these aim around not the characters they are there but the environment that the characters are in and how they use it from a day to day basis. Now this is the most difficult task... How to make it original, since the concept has been done before the way to make it original is that the sinarrio is different.
So how do I make a production like this my own?
Well to make something of my own creation, I feel that I will need to reflect on my past experiences and turn that into something special that not only I relate to but to other audiences would have a connection to or would just find entertaining.
Most of my experiences have been education related mainly by being a mentor and teaching younger children in schools. Lately I have to also have the privilege of teaching and filming with teenagers at a company based in Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells named PQA. A drama academy for young upcoming actors and actresses. With this in mind I would think that my series would contain upcoming young kids and teen actors to take part in my series.
Though I feel like my series my be taking a risk by that being close to other ideas involving children in a big house such as the resent Tim Burton film Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children except these are kids with no powers but just destructive and unique qualities and some are up to the age of 18.
Still having the gothic turn on this series there will be comedic elements to keep it entertaining. I feel there is much potential for this show to go into major production if I gather the right cast, crew and most importantly my location.
