We did deep stick research to know what kinds of shows are popular among population.
We came to know that sitcom, daily soap and reality tv are most popular categories
among population. Our further research is based on those findings.
Qualitative research :
To gain better insight into the minds of tv viewers,we carried out in depth interviews of
8 viewers to identify new independent and dependent variables.It also helped us to
know the usability of variables that we identified after the literature review for our
research project.
As there are many factors that drive the success of a tv show, we wanted to narrow down
on the factors that mattered the most.Unlike focus group,we had advantage of time and
considerably more degree of freedom in choosing the factors to be discussed .We did not
want the participants to be influenced by the peer group.We indeed conducted a focus
group, but found participants were speaking about same factor and it got repetitive so
we went ahead with in depth interviews.
Literature Review:
Key findings:
1. Short term effects created by the TV shows has long term effect on the individuals.
Decisions and rationale
2. Factors people see in an actor :
What type of actor he is? Is he famous? Belief in the acto..
3. Increasing value of human attention for the success of the show
4. Show airtime/ Clash with other shows/shows just before and after it
5. Recommendation channels via Facebook, Twitter activity [Nielsen]
6. Design of the show structure - Seasons/episodes- Leaving open ended discussion for
the show - hinges on simplicity
7. Consumer socialization in teengers - Realty Tv - RTV
8. TRP alone doesn't determine --- High(discovery)-Low(Fashiontv) value Index and
High(Live match)-low(Rajya sabha) engagement index
