TITLE: The Lost Kids

 

GENRE:  Drama


OBJECTIVE: My this drama series/work would appeal most of middle group of the society. It is so because our middle group is encircled such type socio-eco problems. It is still better to say there that our middle group comprises more than half of our population and this idea would cherish their taste and whims and this would earns a lot of monetary benefits. So the major targeted audience for my this drama series are women. And I guess the social issues hit the interest of women especially housewives that is why drama producers and directors are willing to invest time and money on the subject of social issues and social change. And the primary purpose behind my this drama series, of course, is to make a profit, and any series that wanted to attract and retain the audience, will have same purpose. And my this drama series in prime time will leads great positive impact on people not only on women but also men because their careless attitude is the major cause of crime. The main idea of promoting these issues is to make discussion on the societal darken topics and to extirpate or eliminate culprits from the roots. And I personally feel this series can change the attitude of people.
