Before I created my ancillary tasks I did some research into what the common features of similar adverts are. I looked at four different documentary adverts, one double page spread, one review and two posters. I annotated each one in order to highlight the common features and the features that I will include in my own.
This poster advertising 'The Event' is very simple yet effective, it shows all the main characters but emphasises one man by placing him at the front which shows that this is an important, main person in the documentary. In my documentary there is only the one main character so there will no need for me to emphasise him becuase it will only be him in the picture.
I also like the way it has the channel 4 logo and the then name of the program and the start time and the date of when the series starts, I decided to use this feature in my poster. In my poster I have the logo and then the program title, the date and time of starting too.
I like the way that the designer of the article has taken out a quote from the article and emphasised it by making it bold and in a big font at the bottom of the page, I will do somehting similar to this in my ancillary tasks.
Also I like the way the interview is laid out and I will be putting an interview with the main character of my documentary into my double page spread and I will probably use a similar format to this one.
This poster is very mysterious and doesnt give much away about the program, this is more suitable for this type of documentary whereas in my type of documentary it would not be very suitable.
However I like the way it emphasis the title by writing it in a large font size, I will do something similar to this in my poster.
I also like the way it has the ITV 1 logo and the then name of the program and the start time and the date of when the series starts, I decided to use this feature in my poster. In my poster I have the logo and then the program title, the date and time of starting too.
