43. Advertising to consumers : TV advert
example
Through researching the sun adverts I found an advert that takes place during the best
mans speech , where the best man and groom are discussing the benefits of collecting
28 codes in the news paper during the best mans speech and they will get a £5 back.
The best man explains that it does not need to be 28 days in a row you will still get a
£5 for 28 codes . The conversation is interrupted by the guest of the wedding bring
them back to reality and the best man finishing his speech. For then the bride to give a
look of disappointment before returning back to their discussion , to then to be
interrupted again by an angry bride saying “oh grow up you two” for then the best
man to cup is mouth and then say fiver towards her. The scene is ended by the logo of
the sun appearing and the song celebrations playing. Over the song we hear the over
voice say “ grab the sun for free five with sun savers ” before ending

48. Conclusion
From this learning object I focused on understanding existing
print based media products. I have looked many magazines and
newspaper examples of them are , Top of the Pop and The Sun.
What I have looked at is the demographics of the reader ship for
both platforms in how they attract their reader. Also I have
annotated both the front cover and DPS for both forms. By
looking at all of these areas I am able to develop my knowledge
of what I expected of a print based media product and how
there are many details that need to be considered before they
are published. Newspaper
