The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a radio advertisement and double page spread as ancillary texts to promote a documentary. It describes the process of creating the double page spread, including researching conventions, taking inspiration from a magazine spread, receiving feedback, and improving the first draft based on a small image and excessive text. Details are provided about the radio advertisement, such as using a formal male voice to set a serious tone in contrast to BBC Three's usual informal female voiceovers.

1. Q2; HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF
YOUR MAIN PRODUCTS AND ANCILLARY TEXTS?

2.  For our two ancillary tasks, we made a double page spread
and a radio advert
 We chose these two ancillary tasks as they would engage
our targeted audience best.
 Our radio advert would appeal to our older audience of
parents as they usually listen to the radio
 The double page spread was made to appeal to our teenage
audience

3.  We decided to follow the conventional features, after
researching the different types of double page spreads.
 Our research on double page spreads showed us how
the conventional spread is laid out.

4.  The ancillary task was to make a double page spread which
means it has too be two pages and our spread does not have
the line that separates the pages.
 The first draft of our double page spread did not follow the
conventions successfully.
 This is due to the image being too small and the text took up
too much of the spread.

5.  One double page spread in particular caught our eye, it
was from XXL magazine.
 The layout was very simple, with the title of the article
on the top left hand side of the spread and the text
below it.
 The image covered the right side of the page.
 It is neat and simple, so we aspired to make a similar
spread

6.  We placed the BBC three logo on the bottom right page as
they are showing our documentary
 We used neutral colours in the spread as our documentary
targets both genders.
 After looking at this example of a double page spread, we
were then able to produce a better spread
 We also received feedback from our targeted audience and
teacher, telling us how to improve it and what they liked
about it.
 The double page spread includes interviews with the makers
of the documentary stating why they have made it.

7. Our double page spread

8.  Our radio advert includes a formal voice that mentions the
controversial topics that are to be in the documentary
 We have used a formal voice for our radio advert
 BBC three usually use an informal voice in their adverts as
we wanted to set a serious tone for the documentary
 BBC three have used a female voiceover, however, we
have used a male voice as we feel this is more
authoritative
 We have used the same voice that is in our main product.
