Film4 is a free digital television channel available in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, owned and operated by Channel 4, that screens films.
In one of my crits it was suggested that I look at film four seeing as my sequences were going to be about films. I decided to further research both this channel and E4 which was the original channel I was going to go with and upon doing this I came to the conclusion the E4 is still better suited for the type of programme that people would be viewing. Film four is meant just for films so it didn't really seem appropriate to have a 'top ten programme' on this channel. Where as, E4 already has 'top' programmes, one of the main examples being rude tube which shows 50 of the best youtube videos from a certain themed area. E4 also better suits my target audience in terms of age range with it being 16 - 30 year olds and due to the style of some of the current idents I will have the ability to create some quirky colourful pieces.
