4. Conclusion
When labelling both of the DVD covers I discovered that there are
a lot of similarities to both of them. Such as having the number of
the season on the front so that the target audience know what
season they are watching and also what season they need to buy or
watch next.
On the Sarah Jane front cover there was only the main character
which was Sarah Jane and then on the back cover there was picture
of the three helpers.
On the M.I.HIGH on the front cover there was a silhouette of all the
main three characters and then on the back cover its shows one of
them individually, all three of them in action and then it shows them
in a line with the head spy, and this will give the audience a sense
of excitement.
Overall I think that both DVD covers are very similar not just
because it’s the same category but they have a lot of things that
are similar. This will help us when doing our ancillary task because
we will know what is common for a magazine cover for children’s TV
drama.

7. Conclusion
When labelling the two magazine covers I discovered that there are
a lot of similarities that they use to attract the audience to read more
about it.
The first similarity I noticed that they bot have prizes inside and this
is used to make the audience buy the magazine if they want the
prize, but it can also be a bonus if you really want to read the article.
Another similarity would be the main imagine of the character is in
the middle to make it more attractive and the main article story
would be either next to the picture or in the middle of the picture.
For our magazine we plan to use some of these features, such as
having the main imagine in the middle with the main article on the
side of the picture.
Another thing we will be using that is really common when wanting
to attract the target audience, would be having a prize inside of the
magazine so its like a bonus when buying the magazine.
