The document discusses the conventions used in the author's advanced media portfolio, including a documentary, advert, and double page spread. For the documentary, conventions like a typewriter intro, establishing shots, green screen, sound effects, and camera angles were used to mimic the BBC Crimewatch series. The advert was designed to resemble typical Channel 4 ads through the use of minimal text and the inclusion of an institution logo. While the double page spread incorporated newspaper-like fonts and layouts, the author sought to make it unique by using a black, white, and red color scheme and mixing different fonts to stand out from typical newspaper spreads.
