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...

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 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 a...

Characters and costumes

Costume: The prisoner is wearing a grey jumper, black jeans/leggings and white trainers. The full prisoner costume is not seen in the documentary as the shots including the prisoner are purely talking heads shots. I decided this because of my research into interview and crime style documentaries, they included mainly talking heads scenes of prisoners which I thought increased the tension and dramatic effect by the camera being close to the focus point (the prisoner) of the frame. In addition, this connects the audience with the storyline and prisoner more, as it expresses the prisoners raw emotions and thoughts through the shot. Representation: I chose to dress the character of the prisoner in a grey jumper because from researching into prisoner clothing, I found a lot of prisoners wear plain jumpers as the purpose of their clothing is to be dull and bland as they are stripped from their personality. I chose for the character to wear no makeup with their hair to be up...
