The combination of the documentary and ancillary texts is effective due to strong stylistic linkages between the products.
The double page article in Radio Times magazine develops similar stylistic devices to the documentary, using matching imagery, quotes, and repetition of keywords.
The radio trailer also maintains connections with the documentary through use of the same music genre, voiceover tone, and voxpop extracts, while promoting the airing details.
By distributing the article in Radio Times and trailer on BBC Radio 5 Live, the ancillary texts are able to reach audiences that align with the documentary's target demographic of ages 20-55, increasing awareness and viewership of the main product.
The document summarizes feedback from an audience questionnaire about a documentary. Key findings include:
- Respondents generally rated the documentary highly in holding attention and having balanced sound.
- All respondents said they could relate to the documentary and found the expert interview extracts informative, despite being younger than the target age.
- Respondents also positively rated the double page article layout, use of conventions, and radio trailer.
- Feedback suggests minor improvements could be made to sound levels, color use, and including more extracts in the radio trailer. Overall though, the audience feedback was positive about how the documentary and supporting materials were put together.
The audience feedback provided useful insights for the documentary makers. Most viewers found the documentary, double page spread article, and radio trailer engaging and well-put together. However, some noted that adding more sports footage and ensuring balanced sound levels could further improve the documentary. While most colors were effective, some felt more variety in the article's colors was needed. Extracting additional quotes for the radio trailer may also strengthen it. Overall, the feedback confirmed that the intended professional tone was achieved across all three final products.
Our documentary fits into the expository mode of documentaries as it uses a voiceover and visual aids to present arguments and facts. It also features elements of the reflexive and poetic modes. We studied techniques used in documentaries like Supersize Me such as camera shots, sound, background music, and facts/figures to develop our documentary. Our double page magazine spread and radio trailer employ conventions of those real media formats to advertise our documentary, like layouts, drop caps, and appealing music.

Interviews are presented from an injury solicitor, a college principal, a sociologist, and statistics showing a 23% decrease in crime on public transportation when CCTV is present. Concerns are also raised that the majority of CCTV cameras may be operated illegally in the UK.
Connor Delaney created a radio trail by extracting and mixing various documentary clips while ensuring the background music didn't dominate the mix. Automation was used to adjust the volume balance between clips that varied in loudness and fade out the background music at the end. Where possible, extracts were precisely cut to eliminate background noise or filler sounds.

This document contains 6 suggested questions for interviews with experts on contraception and teenagers. The questions are designed to get the experts' perspectives on whether teenagers seek contraception advice, whether they are informed enough about risks, their professional views on teenagers using contraception, and whether easy availability is good or bad.

BBC Three was chosen as the channel to broadcast the documentary because its target audience is 16-34 year olds and it focuses on providing innovative content for younger viewers. BBC Three airs from 7pm to 5am and was launched in 2003 to appeal to younger audiences.

BBC Three has previously aired documentaries on similar topics that appeal to the same target audience.
This risk assessment document identifies hazards students may face while filming or taking photos in college. Tripping over camera leads poses a possible risk of minor or major injury. Getting equipment stolen presents a possible risk of major injury if equipment is not properly secured. Leaving equipment on the floor poses a remote risk of minor or major injury if others trip. Dropping equipment poses a minor risk of injury, which can be reduced by using proper equipment. Control measures like securing leads, storing equipment securely, and not leaving items on the floor can help reduce these risks.

here how the recession shook the fitness
industry.
After almost a decade of expansion, the Gyms and Fitness Centres industry has hit a rut. Driven by rising
disposable income levels, increasing health-consciousness and concerns about appearance; gyms and
health clubs have signed up over 8.7 million gym members across the United Kingdom, which is about
17% of the adult population. Like the economy at large, poor performance has characterised the last few
years, with lack of consumer confidence encouraging subdued performance. As such, industry expansion
this year is only expected to advance a further 1.3%. Over the last five years industry revenue has
increased at a rate of 1.2% per annum, totalling £777.2 million for 2012-13
Following several years of expansion during 2005-06 to 2008-09, industry growth began to slow as the
recession caused a fall in discretionary spending on recreation. Gym-goers are looking for value from
their memberships, with many trading down from premium health clubs to more basic and inexpensive
fitness options. For some, this means switching to a cheaper plan or fitness club once membership
renewal comes up, while others cancel their gym membership altogether.
