Ancillary Analysis

2. Radio times Double Page Spread

3. ImageAs you can see the main image
covers the majority of the page.
The image grabs the audience’s
attention and gives of a clue to the
content of the show. For example
the women is dressed in an
astronaut suit so given of an
impression that she is going to the
moon. This gets the audience
asking questions. Having these
characters in the main image
suggest they are the main actors
and this attracts the audience
especially if they are a well liked
actor. It also hints at the genre of
the programme.
The smaller images are
to show the audience
clips of what are in the
programme. Having
more than one image
will also interest the
audience instead of
just having loads of
text.

4. Font and Colours
The font used in the
main title links in with
the image and the genre.
The font suggests a sci-
fi with elements of
horror. Also the font
looks like rocks which
relates to the surface of
the moon and in the
main image the women
is dressed as though she
is going to the moo,
these both link with
each other.
As you can see there is
not a great amount of
colours used on this
double page spread. Only
dark and light colours
and white have been
used. This could suggest
good and bad character
as one is dress in black
and the other is dressed
in white, this is called
binary opposites. It could
also represent the dark
side of the moon.

5. Layout
This is a caption.
These are used to
explain the image.
Drop-caps are used
to break up the
paragraphs.
Pull quotes are used to
give a clue about the
content of the story.
This impacts the
audience because it
makes them curious and
will pull the audience in.
A side bar is
usually used to
show a similar
related story to
what is on the
double page
spread.
