1. Q2: HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE
COMBINATION OF YOUR ANCILLARY
PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY TEXT?
•Main task +
•Timeout Magazine Piece +
•BBC R4 Today Piece

2. MAIN TASK + TIMEOUT MAGAZINE PIECE
Character recognition stood as a major contributory factor in
regards to the combination of both my main task and Timeout
Magazine piece. This is demonstrated through the usage of
imagery and representation in both text. For example all the
characters personality types are identified in the “what
student are you?” section which creates a relationship
between the identification of each character in the main task
e.g.…
From watching the documentary the audience would’ve
already established familiarity with the characters hence
the reason why they would be able to recognise them in
the article. This sense of familiarity allows my audience
to continue building a relationship with my characters
fulfilling their identity needs in terms of their uses and
gratifications.

3. MAIN TASK + TIMEOUT MAGAZINE PIECE
 Does it fulfil its purpose?
I feel my article fulfils its purpose, advertising my documentary allowing
the audience to get a deeper insight to the construction of the
documentary which essentially attracts them into wanting to watch the
documentary.
 Would it be appropriate for your target audience?
Due to the fact that my target audience are students, parents and
practically anyone involved in the education sector my documentary
reaches directly to them. It touches the heart of all my audiences whilst
educating some on how students really feel about 6th form.
 How does it combine with your documentary?
I think my documentary piece and article combine well together because
they both help build bridges between my characters and my audience.
These bridges essentially make my documentary more appealing and as
a result more mentally accessible.
 How does it combine with your radio piece?
Both my listing magazine article and radio piece combine together through
their similarity of an interview style format. This cross over in details
links the two pieces together and extends the audiences relationship.

4. MAIN TASK + BBC R4 TODAY PIECE
This quote was taken directly from my main piece which
was embedded into my radio piece in order to act as a
trailer of the original text as the purpose of my ancillary
task was to advertise the main task. Reusing the
identical quote allowed a relationship of similarity to be
formed. I choose this particular scene because it gives the
audience, who may not be familiar with my documentary
an immediate understanding of what it may be about and
the type of emotions that will be shed by the characters.
The combination of this text with the interview and
presenters words allows the audience to track back to
when they were in school and understand that the
documentary is based around education which may allow
my audience to build relations with the characters.

5. MAIN TASK + BBC R4 TODAY PIECE
 Does it fulfil its purpose?
I think my radio piece fulfils its purpose because it identifies the audience of R4
and appeals to them in regards to how the context is structured by first having
the presenter reinforce the ideas that occur in the documentary.
 Would it be appropriate for your target audience?
From researching the R4 audience I think my radio piece appeals more to my
higher class audience, those in AB and C1 group. However, combined with my
listing magazines the appeal is broadened to a larger variety. Changing the
radio piece to a ‘guest editing’ segment meant that I was able to speak about my
education documentary whilst still extending the audience knowledge about
other current affairs.
 How does it combine with your documentary?
As previously mentioned speech was taken directly from my documentary which
creates a link between what can be heard in the documentary and what is heard
in the radio piece. This snippet entices the audience to want to watch my
documentary more.
 How does it combine with your Magazine piece?
The usage of an interview styled radio piece in combination with the interview
styled magazine piece puts a voice to the words that become more detailed as
they are verbalized in the radio piece.
