Codes and Conventions of a print advert

There is one main image which is eye-catching and strong, the image also creates a narrative.
Channel 4 logo is always on the right hand side, preferably in the middle so it doesn't get in the way of image.
. Red, white or black used for logo's.
. Colour from title links in with logo or part of image.
. Title has block behind it to stand out and spans halfway across the image.
. Either placed on top or bottom left of advert and contains the schedule in smaller font.
. Published in lower class working papers.
. Can be either landscape or portrait.
. Minimal amount of words to avoid boredom.
. Positioning statement.
. Image must show insight into what the documentary is about.
. Slogan needs to be short and catchy.

Below are some examples from channel 4 that we looked at:

moblie phone documentary

In this lesson we where asked as a group to make a short documentary :

Whilst filming we also took this shots of us setting up and some cut aways.

From this task I feel i learnt alot within the making of a documentary. After looking back where would be a number of thigns i would change, firstly is the mise en scene during our interview that we did the background does not anchor at all as to what our product is about. The lighting also changed half way though and the sound levels from background noise was to high. However although i would change things it was my first time making a product like this and i am happy with the framing and questions asnwered.
