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.

My Documentary

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...

animated storyboard

Evaluation of my storyboard I presented many diverse shots such as, close up, extreme close up, long shots, panning shots, high shots, low shots. I think this was effective as it built up a tense atmosphere and made my documentary more authentic by using shots that many of my inspired documentary examples use. I contrast close up shots and long shots because it creates suspension for the audience seeing conflicting shots of the prisoner's zoomed in face to a shot of the mise en scene to a long shot of the prisoner sitting in a isolated room. I decided to use a variety of shots exposing the harsh location and environment because it presents to the audience the harsh realities of prison life. I show different angles especially when it is shots of the prisoner in the interview because it characterises the prisoner in different light e.g. conveying her as evil and dominant or as vulnerable and suffering.   After creating my storyboard I decided that I w...
