1. OBSESSIVE
GENERATIONS
I started my listings magazine review with a catchy
introduction and an image of myself as director
included along with individual images of the
interviewees.

I decided to use images in order
to make the article eye catching
and aesthetically pleasing for
the reader.

2. I decided to use similar language to my
research review “Last night’s TV’
because I personally believed the
language was engaging for the reader
and also different when compared to
other reviews from listing magazines,
for example Shortlist which I thought
personally was very straight to the
point, although this is good for informing
the reader about the film I wanted to
make sure that my review was as
interesting and engaging as possible.

3. The format of my listings magazine
review it involved using columns,
images and various interviews and
responses from the audience all
around the UK.
I also presented this with a rating
system of stars which was something
that stood out immediately to the
audience as well as giving the
documentary a good representation
for the readers.
I decided to use the interview
responses that gave the audience a
broad view of the documentary and
not just a specific opinion about one
part of the documentary, I wanted to
ensure that my readers could get a
feel for the documentary and use
responses that where influential.

4. I have now completed my first ancillary which is a listings
magazine review and when researching about what distributer my
review would be used by I decided on using Time Out, this is
because I personally enjoyed the language used, as well as their
target audience who are both young and working. I wanted to
target my audience to a broad audience and therefore wanted to
use a listings magazine that targets a wide audience and not a
specific age, gender or social group.
Although further research enabled me to understand that Time Out
would not be the only possible opportunity to advertise my review
through. Short List would also be suitable for my documentary, as
it is a local paper that could
discuss the documentaries reviews.
