Print advert draft

Codes and Conventions of Print Adverts

Today in Media, we looked at the codes and conventions of Print Adverts;

• One main image that catches the eye and attention of the audience
• Logo is on the right hand side or in the middle
• Channel 4 sign should be 3D not solid
• Central image should sum up the documentary
• Title has a box behind it and covers half of the image. It stands out and is always on the left hand side
• Contains the scheduling
• Either portrait or landscape
• Words are kept to the bare minimum as to not draw attention away from the main image
• Positioning is catchy and links to the documentary as to catch the audiences attention

Song Clips

Today in Media we researched our songs for our documentary. Here are our decisions;
* Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
* Soul Control - Chocolate

Editing the Radio Trailer

Today in media, we edited our Radio Trailer;

This is an example of using a razor tool. This is used to cut down bits of the radio trailer and is used to cut out parts that are not needed.

We used the effect of constant gain to make each part of the radio trailer fade into each other.

Documentary script

Documentary Script:

* Chocolate has become a part of our everyday lives but that wasn't always the case. We interviewed Freda Whittaker about her experience with chocolate during the war.

* The chocolate industry has expanded and more people are experimenting with chocolate and chocolate flavours. the manager of The Chocolate Cellar tells us about her business and experience in the industry.

* The growth of chocolate has changed our diets and it has become a regular thing to eat during the day with people known to even have it for breakfast. We spoke to a dentist and doctor about how our love for chocolate can affect our bodies.
