·         You don’t need to mention the target audience – this is just a task where you look at the denotations, explore the connotations and think about the message that the producers are trying to convey.

 Introductory questions 

EXT1) Key conventions you can see in doctor who are dramatic lighting and music, and good choreography to make it seem more dramatic to the viewer.

EXT2) A doctor who fan (Whovian) would like some parts of the scene such as where the doctor enters the tardis to show how much the inside has changed over the years, another thing they might enjoy is that it would be the last regeneration the doctor experiences which would put a nice ending to the long running show.
