Analysing the competition

 have chosen 3 factual television programs that are close to the documentary I am doing, the 3 being chosen are a on a program called panorama, watch dog and .
The first show is Panorama, it comes on every week at 8.30 on bbc 1 but doesn't have a set day that it's aired as it switches between Mondays and Sundays. The main episode that is being discussed is the episode called  video game addiction, the layout for this episode is slightly like how i want to do my documentary as I want to have different games being played while the voice over talks, i would like to have interviews with people who play games for a living and also interviews with people who just play games for fun. According to digital spy 2.3 million watched the episode. I think my documentary can beat this episode by mainly using humor and making my a bit more interesting by adding nice music and having the voice over be different to the normal boring male older voice over.

The second show is Watch dog, it comes on bbc 1 on Thursdays every week at 8 pm.
The viewing figures for the show are 3.90 million viewers watched the episode that came out on Thursday 6th of November. The similarities between my documentary and this show will be that they will both be short and to the point, with game play a different styled voice over and interviews with people who play games themselves. My show will be able to beat it as it will be a big longer and have more than just one certain game being the focus.

The third and last factual tv is a documentary called free to play, as it is a documentary film it doesn't have a broadcast time or channel,  the film have over 5.5 million viewers over the weekend of its launch. The similarities between this documentary and my one is that there will be a voice over and constant game play. My documentary will be shorter than this one and will have mainly game play.
