Technophobes

Audience: the gender of the audience can be told according the people being followed for example 5 men being followed can appeal to a audience of men as they might identify with the people, or if it was 5 women then they might be able to identify with the people. However if we have both men and women part of the people then a wider range of audience can be targeted as both men and women can identify with the people. Furthermore a older audience might be able to identify as older audience are known to be stereotypically "not that technology friendly" making the people feel like they can identify with the characters however now older audiences are more tench friendly (silver surfers) therefore they might not watch it. Furthermore people who live in a urban area might watch this program as they are more likely to have more technical devices. Socio-economic band of A-B and E might like this program people from a upper- middle class as they ten to have the "latest gadgets" or are aware about them. Also E band consists of young teenagers who tend to have allot of knowledge on technology and use it for escapism. Latstly Psycho graphics, people who have a interest in technology will enjoy this program. Or also people who don't like technology or fear it will be able identify.

Institution:
- basic following of their lives
- dramatic people
- dramatic lives of the people
-typically white working class

Media forms:
On Bbc 3 they tend to pick the people who are more dramatic or have really dramatic lives to make it more interesting for the audience to watch. this show will be more of a observational/Expository documentary as they will observe the 5 peoples live and will make those 5 people do the voice overs etc. as there isn't a main host for the show the 5 main people just lead the show. Furthermore it is less of reflexive documentary as they will edit all the problems in post-production.

Representation:
might be negative as in the 21st people are supposedly to be "tech friendly"
that not everyone has adjusted to the 21st century and people living in certain areas still have a fear of technology. Or also positive as how these people live life without technology and how we have become so dependent on technology and how it is taking over our lives.

Web review
Imagine not living without your Phone or not being able to use the internet? well if you tell anyone today to give up any of their "techno luxuries" imagine how we would react? But 5 individuals have been doing that nearly all their life. We see that in Bbc 3's new show Technophobes where we follow the lives of these 5 individuals and see how they haven't been as technology friendly as society believes they have to be. Technophobes is a smart and new show that actually makes us think how Technology has taken over not only us but our lives it shows how these 5 individuals are living their life without the use of technology. We even get to see even one of them not using a phone fearing that it has a mind of its own weird? Technophobes is your typical Bbc 3 but however seems to impress us with its individuality and different approach in how still people in the 21st century have the fear of technology, making us think that not everyone is the same.
