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.

Film poster analysis

Anchorage- words that accompany the picture e.g. 'The past never dies it kills' I think the anchorage is used as one of the main focus points of the poster because of the crisp white italics harshly contrasting against the faded black background. The colour tone and contrasting immediately catch the audiences eye. In addition, the short and snappy anchorage has a underlying dark message personifying the past which makes it interesting so, draws in the audience in. Preferred reading-   When audiences respond to the product the way media producers want/expect them to:   I feel that the audience responds to the poster with a burst of adrenaline and terror due to the graphic and eye- catching image which is the producers aim. In addition, when I first saw the poster I felt on edge and shocked at how realistic the image is. I think the producers aim for the audience to feel extremely on edge to convey the full effect of demonic possession and all the other underlyin...

Research of magazine listings

First Ancillary Task: my research of magazine listings This is a magazine listing I may use because I really like it's use of vibrant colour depicting each channel making it easier for the audience to find their chosen channel. Also, I think the 'Today's choice' at the left hand side works well being positioned at the start creating a lot of focus for the column. As well as loads of writing they use images making it more interesting and enticing to read as it breaks up the text. I do think the design is too clustered together making it hard to read, which is a negative of the listing layout. This is a magazine listing I may use because I like it's is of colorful puffs as there is diverse shapes adding excitement and interest. The puffs are filled with bold titles and important information readers 'need to know', which is a creative way to use text rather than bland and regular sentences. I think it's by using a bold striking black box to outline...

Evaluation Q3

What have you learned from your audience feedback? Target audience The target audience I looked at would be from 16-50, non-specific to gender, ethnicity or social class; This is the demographic of my documentary because of how widely varied it is and how many topics it covers that would interest any age, gender, class or race. I think as my documentary is of crime genre many ages are interested in this, which is why the age range is so wide. I don't think a crime genre documentary would be suitable for someone younger than 16 or older than 50 as I believe it would either be too frightening, uninteresting or wouldn't be able to understand the factual element to it. I don't think my target audience would be the social group who have a disposable income to more likely pay in order to watch it as people can easily watch the documentary for free on catch-up. I think my target audience would have to be interested in psychology (minds of criminals) and the crime system ...
