Ancillary Task - Newspaper Advert
For the second part of the ancillary tasks we must work individually and I have chosen to create the newspaper advert.
These are some examples of newspaper adverts:
This is an advert for a musical, similar to what I need to create for my film advert. I like how the image fills the advert as it is eye catching and shows the viewers the main characters involved. The font used for the title is very eye catching and unique as it links to the theme by making it look eerie and ghostly.
All the information about the musical is at the bottom of the advert which is easy to see and makes the layout clear and neat. Although there is one large image in this advert, to improve it I would add another image to help show the viewers more about what the musical is about.
This is a newspaper advert for a bingo site. Once again there is one large image which is relevant to what the advert is trying to advertise. The title is very bold and clear to read, however its quite simple and plain. The colours involved are also quite simple and plain as it mainly involves black and white colours, so more vibrant colours and images would make this advert more eye catching and interesting to look at.
This is an advert by the NHS about germs. Once again this advert involves one large image which gets straight to the point and shows the viewer simply what the advert is about. Also it is quite a shocking image which makes it eye catching. The details for the advert are in a small box at the bottom of the page which makes it clear and easy for people to read. However to improve it I think making the plain font more unique will make this advert stand out better.

Our documentary so far...
Locations:
For our final, documentary film we have been filming in a variety of places which link to our documentary topic. We have filmed in a kitchen of a house, in Walton highstreet and in a fast food restaurant. We have yet to film a doctor or health expert in a suitable location, for example a doctors surgery.
Interviews:
We have interviewed a few students and teachers asking questions about their favourite fast food and fast food restaurants which we have included in to our final film. We are also planning on trying to find a doctor or dietitian which will allow us to ask questions on the impact fast food is having on peoples health, as we think having facts from a doctor or dietitian will shock people who watch it and will show them the thruth and severity of eating fast food, which is what we are trying to achieve in our documentary.
Actors:
We are currently working on the editing of our documentary through 'imovie'. We are trying to work out the best ordering for each section of the film before adding the music and speeding up/ slowing down sections, aswell as adding in transitions, etc. We also have to collect some archive footage to put in to our documentary. We are planning on getting news reports on child obesity and fast food. We also need to do a few voiceovers to help make the film more fluent and incorporate impotant facts on the topic.
Target Audience:
The target audience for our documentary is parents as we believe that they should see the impact fast food is having on the health of their children. We also think if older children/teenagers watched our documentary it would also help them realise the health risks of eating too much fast food. Being a participatory documentary helps us target teenagers as we (the documentary makers) are involved in the film, making it more engaging for the viewers and its more interactive. When we edit our film we need to make sure it targets both parents and teenagers, by making it engaging and exciting by using voiceovers and different transitions between shots.

Actors:
As our documentary is participatory, we are very much involved in our film. However we do have a few actors, including students and teachers as we interviewed them on the topic. We also still need to film a doctor or health specialist.
