Impartiality.
The BBC’s most relevant example of impartiality is in the show ‘Daily
politics’. Impartiality is ‘decisions that should be based on objective criteria, rather than on the
basis of bias or prejudice’. They show this in the show ‘Daily politics’ for
example on this show the presenter allows everybody from every side to have a
say and to voice their opinion, for example the presenter let Gabby Hensley
from the guardian to voice her opinion on ‘British intelligent agency’s looked
at their American counter parts before publication of that US reporter on CIA
torturing terrorism suspects’ he then asked Gabby who works for the guardian
then allowed Andrew Peers from the daily mail to voice his opinion, this is a
clear example of being impartial as the presenter for the program on BBC is
allowing not just one person to speak, the response the presenter gives also is
not biased for example ‘your both singing from the same song sheet’. The reason
the BBC are impartial is because it is a public service broadcaster, which is
paid for through peoples tax’s, so because everybody pays for it they aren’t
allowed to have their own beliefs because everybody has different.

Benefit street right wing perspective;
The right wing will believe that using the benefit system isn't right, and they should be able to stand on their own two feet. They will feel that they are taking others hard earned money, they should go out and find a job and to help themselves.

factual programme production techniques for television; objectivity
The BBC'S most relevant example of objectivity is in the show 'question time'.
Objectivity is the reporting of reality and facts without the input of prejudice and personal opinion. Question time allows people to ask the chosen members of the government different questions about various things, it also gives them a chance to respond. The response needs to include a valid point that has been tested against facts, this means the BBC are not providing the public with false information as you can see by the answers being backed with evidence.
Objectivity is included in the programme question time by allowing the different members of government to answer with their opinion that has been tested against facts, for example when Nick griffin was asked the question 'why would Churchill be in the BNP if he was alive now, and why did you hijack his reputation?' the response Nick Griffin gave included objectivity, because he used quotes and facts for example 'no other party would have him for what he said in the early days to mass immigration to this country, quote only coming from our benefit system, and in his younger days he was extremely critical of the dangers fundamentalist islam in a way which would now be described as islamifobic'. In that quote you can see how Nick Griffin has backed up his answer and has done his research to make the answer valid.

Market research
Competitor analysis.
There are many documentaries i have found which my own will be competing with, one being 'a short documentary about Manchester musical heritage'. I will be competing with this documentary because it will include the same information as mine, and the same audience. This means it will make it harder for my documentary to receive viewings because there are many other documentaries that are on the internet and TV which are viewed daily. This means i need to take it upon myself to make my documentary to the best it can be.

Factual programming production for television; Representation
The BBC represents Britain through their shows by giving off the different aspects and sides of Britain in a positive view. In the show "posh people: Tatler" it gives various different views of Britain as it is an episode on the magazine Tatler which has its target audience of high society respectable people. It highlights different areas of the upper class community and gives others an insight on how people live.
The magazine gives the different options on which boarding school to take your child to if you are in the high society class as it can cost upto £20,000 per year just to enrol, it also shows how young people attend the Tatler ball in which the up coming young teens of the high class get invited to in which they are potential buyers to the tatler in the future, by doing this they can be added into the latest issue of Tatler and get there pictures put on the front cover of the teen edition. By doing this the BBC are representing Britain to be very respectable and high class but the editors of the magazine are not trying to offend any of the people who may buy the edition and not be in the target audience market, as they try not to hurt the feelings or offend those of a lower class than represented in the magazine. The magazine shows how different people live in Britain especially if they have money which is giving Britain the view of being a rich and lawful country that also respects the feelings of others and is not snotty to those who are not is in the same social class as they are.
By doing this they are giving a sense of caring and thoughtful views upon Britain and even though those in the upper class of people may seem 'snotty' and posh they are infact very intelligent and thoughtful citizens of Britain that also think not only for themselves but for others, putting a light and positive effect on the views given to Britain.

Factual programme production techniques for television- Balance
Recently i watched a documentary produced by the BBC, the documentary was called 'people like us'. The documentary was produced to make people have a better understanding of those who are on benefits and want to achieve best, the documentary takes us step by step and shows us how the main characters achieve this, for example there was 3 main story lines in this documentary, one being focused on Sophie who was a mother of a young baby, the BBC allowed us to get a deeper understanding of the life that she leads, they showed us two completely different scenes, one of the scenes consisted of Sophie the mother stood with her family drinking and offering the baby some of the bottle of beer whereas the other scene was Sophie telling the cameras that she is ready to stand on her own two feet and put her name down for a house whilst playing with her daughter in the living room.
The second character in this documentary was called Gareth a young boy who had a dream to be an actor, his aim was to loose weight before his university interview. The BBC showed the background he came from and where he lived, on the other hand it showed Gareth at the gym working hard to achieve what he wanted and showed his success in getting into the university he wanted to go to.
The final character was called Charlie who worked in his dads chippy, Charlies goal was also to become a professional actor playing a role of a 'gangster drug dealer'. The BBC showed Charlie working in his dads chippy to earn a bit of extra money and also showed his dad talking about passing the business down to Charlie, on the other hand it shows Charlie in a performance playing lead role and discussing how far he wants to get in the future.
By the BBC being balanced it allows the people being filmed to voice their opinions of how they want there life to be and how they see there future instead of living off the benefit system; in the show it gives of a negative image for all three of the characters before they are able to explain themselves, once they have talked about there situation it becomes clear that they do not want the life they have grown up in. By the BBC giving them the chance to change the opinion of the public it is allowing a balanced view of the show and the people in it.
