Why I chose the Format I chose

The main reason why I chose TV as my format is because it is the format which is most familiar to me. Another reason why I chose TV is because it is a digital medium which has a lot of potential to be used in conjunction with other digital media formats. For example, a lot of TV stations today have websites with additional information about their programmes. The BBC has a web site called bbc.com/iplayer, on this site one can watch the programmes that were shown on the BBC channels over the past 7 days. This is a trend which is catching on with other channels as well. On a lot of programmes where voing is involved, voting can be done on line.
I think there is great potential in merging TV with the internet.
I would have liked to have done a film script but I thought that it was not very interesting. I think there is more of a potential with TV with regards digital writing.

you've done an ok defense of tv, but you haven't really spent enough time on the rejected one..."not very interesting" isn't a very convincing argument...
