Communication Skills for the Creative Media Industries - Research For our TV show our decision right away was for it to have a comedy genre to it as these are usually always very popular TV shows regularly watched by audiences. So I researched into some comedy TV shows that were successful in there show, one of the most popular ones that was the 5th most watched TV show in 2015-2016 was the big bang theory a very well-known TV show that is shown on channel 4, it has around 20 million viewers world-wide and makes around $1 million per episode. I went to the libary to get some secondary data on my TV show idea this helped for me to come up with my idea.

Screen Shots Of Prelude This screenshot is an example of me choosing my footage and Ingesting it into Prelude, this allows me to have a backup of my footage that was collected.
