TV GUIDE ANALYSIS

1. The MAIN IMAGE takes up the whole A3 page with only ½ of it being in
focus. The right hand side of the image is faded behind the coloured
text box, which contains the article. The image captured is a medium-
long shot of the two actors playing in character. This will allow the
audience to identify the characters and potentially guess what will
happen in the new episodes.
The MAST HEADING is larger than the rest of the
text on the page. This will enable its audience to
quickly identify what the article is featured on. The
font is also different to the other text on the page
again making it stand out from everything else.
The SIDE QUOTE gives a
bit of inside gossip into
what is going to happen
in the forthcoming
episodes. This will
influence fans to want to
read this article as they
will want to know what
is going to happen next
and whether it will be
worth watching. The
side quote also includes
the characters names
again so the audience
can quickly identify
them.
The STAND FIRST
enables its audience to
see when the
programme is on. It is
important to do
research as to when air
the programme so that
nothing similar clashes
which could lead to high
competition. It
hightlight’s which night
of the week ‘Teen Wolf’
is on and what time. It
also gives its audience
the website in which
you could find out
information from and
also social media sites
for people to discuss the
show.
The COLOUR SCHEME
used in this double
page spread relate
quite cleverly to the
theme of Halloween,
which can be related
with wolves. The dark,
gloomy colours of grey
and purple create a
daunting atmosphere.
This represents the
genre of the
programme.
The BODY TEXT is the
main text on the page.
In this instance the
writer has used a new
story style which just
contains contextual
information for its
readers. The writer is
introducing the new
series, giving an
insight into what
could possible
happen. This will
create suspension
resulting in its
audience to want to
watch the new
episodes.
