Research of magazine advertisements

Second Ancillary task: research of magazine advertisements

This is one of the documentary newspaper advertisement layouts I may use because I think the Channel 4 logo at the right hand side creates impact. It creates impact for the audience because it's boldly lit up against the glowing red light. Also, this draws attention as it tells people what channel the documentary is on. I think the main image covering the whole frame works well because it makes the audience feel like their there and involved in the moment. In addition, I think having a focus point  in the photo and blurring everything else out looks good because it's intriguing and a dramatic effect for the audience. I like the title and release date because although there highlighted in a striking white bubble, it doesn't draw attention away from the focus of the image.
I do think there font could be better as it's hard to read against the compact dramatic background.


This is a documentary newspaper advertisement layout I may use because I think the colour scheme of contrasting warm and cold tones linking to the topic is effective. In addition, I love the ripped paper effect used as a border to gain focus on the image as it's relatively small covering a small part of the advertisement. I don't really like the position of the title as it's bunched together at the bottom taking away it's focus point. I do admire that the background isn't simply plain and dull but has images adding creativity and interest into advertisement. I think the film company at the top works well because it is small and minimal but can still be easily seen. Also, part of it is bold highlighting the more important part, which looks professional. 



This is a documentary newspaper advertisement I may use because I think the image being uniquely positioned at the left hand side works really well. It draws in attention as all the writing is on the right side and the imagery is on the left side, therefore concentrating attention to the bold image. In addition, I think using mini images into one main image looks professional as it's better than clustering lot's of pictures together making it look messy. I don't like the look of using lot's of text because it disinterests the reader.

Evaluation: Magazine Listing

Evaluation: medium? How is it original? Background For the background on the first page of my magazine listing I used a photo of graffiti on a wall because I feel as though it links in with the themes of crime, corruption, wrong, rights and restrictions in society. In addition, the colours of the background are neutral tones and not too bold therefore, doesn't affect the visibility of the text for the reader. I think the colours of the background go really well with the text because it is mostly light grey/white with areas of bright colours highlighting the black text. At the bottom of the listing, I created the title 'Secrets Of A Serial Killer' in vibrant red font, which is boldly standing out from the listing as well as not covering the text. I think this adds a creepy and menacing element to the listing linking to my theme. Main image  I chose a picture of the prisoner I'm using in the documentary because I feel as though it captures the priso...

Amy Winehouse documentary: 5 shot analysis

This is a medium close up shot and a wide angle view capturing her substantial fan base on a worldwide level. The narrator is talking about how she tries to disappear from her life which could imply through her substance addiction and abuse which correlates with the shot as it shows her drinking. Amy looks slightly disoriented/dazed which matches the narration perfectly mediating her in a very negative light. In this shot, the lighting is very dark and dull which is unusual because when she is performing the lighting should be bright and vibrant. The mise en scene is the crowds of people in the background which highlights Amy's pure popularity through her talent. I feel as though Amy is the focus in this shot as the dark lighting makes her boldly stand out against the crowd. The shot slowly fades out as the background soundtrack of Amy quietens and fades which is very effective as it increases the intensity of audiences sympathy and sadness for her. This is a extreme close up...
