My documentary, radio advert, and poster are closely linked, as they all have the same theme, tone, content and colour scheme.

I put a lot of time into research for my adverts, in order to be able to see what was best for the purpose of advertisement for my documentary. I also used the style guide in order to make sure that my documentary would be compliant for a channel four film advert.

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Research for documentary advert (similar documentary advert)

In order to get inspiration for my own documentary poster and to help decided what type of style would both

make my documentary look effective and match the content I decided to research both the layout and style of

similar documentary adverts with the same content about the education in schools and the effect behaviour has on the learning. These programs included Educating

Essex, Educating Yorkshire.

Target audience

Research for documentary advert (channel four style guide)

When taking into consideration the content of my documentary I decided that Channel Four would be the most suitable channel to broadcast my documentary. After deciding to use Channel Four I then researched the style guide for Channel Four Advertisements in order to make sure that my advert complied with the standards of a Channel Four poster.

Newspaper advert (first draft)

After receiving feedback from other members of the group I decided that I could improve my newspaper advert by including the dates and times of the show I was advertising, so that anybody who was interested in my documentary would know exactly where and when to watch my documentary.

Final draft pic

As a result of the feedback I included the date and time that my documentary would be starting. I also included the channel four logo in the bottom right of the picture so that people would know what channel my documentary will be aired on. Also the Channel 4 logo will give anybody reading the advertisement an idea of what the documentary is about, as they will be aware of Channel 4s content.
