One of the biggest TV shows of 2016 was created by the Duffer brothers who began their film careers in late 2011 after finishing college. Apart from Stranger Things they also have the Thriller 'Hidden' and some episodes of M. Night Shyamalan's. It is amazing how two new comers manage to sell a fantasy scfi series to Netflix never mind making it one of the most successful series. This TV show relates to mine as I want mine to be produced on Netflix. The Duffer brothers say they took ideas from the 2013 Prisoners which is a thriller about a man who searches for his missing daughter. Stranger things also relates to the TV show I want to make because it has the same genres and characteristics.


These are films that have the most ratings it is important that I research about these current films as I can follow them and look out for what makes it an successful TV show so I can make sure that my own TV show is successful just like the top 10 above. This relates and is important because I want my TV show to be a successful and not to flop.




Jake Gyllenhaal is a famous actor staring in films like 'Night crawler' and 'Southpaw'. Jake is a widely known for being able to stick and perfect to a roll all throughout a film. He would relate in my TV show as the police officer that helps find the missing boy. He would play the part very well. I would have Ed Harris play the father of the family as he has the crazy man look who has been in movies like 'A beautiful mind' and 'The Truman Show' starring Jim Carey. Having famous actors not only helps the look of the show from their profession but it also helps promote the TV show

Advertising is a massive part of getting a production out there it is important that you can get as many people as you can to watch the show as the more people watch the more money you get. Daily you see as many as 5,000 advertisements a day. As the book says you can see adverts in papers, websites, emails, posers, billboards and television. This relates to me as I could advertise my TV show on these platforms. Some film productions are even advertised in a TV break from a different TV show.
