Skin Deep
Our documentary: Skin Deep
Our radio trailer:
Our Poster:
Main Product
We were asked to make our own poster, to show how our advertisement campaign may look like if this documentary would air on a channel. When planning our documentary we decided on the channel we would broadcast our documentary on, what we would call it and what day and time we would broadcast it. We decided to include all this in our poster, this would therefore give all the information that the audience needed without over-loading them. We then had to look at how channel 4 posters are set out, we found a recurring theme. The posters included a background image, white writing with a black box background and a channel 4 logo. We therefore had to find an image which would sum up our whole documentary, this was extremely difficult. We then followed the conventions of a channel 4 poster, and tried to imitate it to the best possible quality. Overall, i believe our poster resembles a channel 4 poster and is easily recognisable as a documentary on that channel.

Codes and Conventions
Codes and Conventions of a radio trailer
• These are the codes and conventions of radio trailers:
• The title of the documentary is said
• They always include what channel the documentary is on
• Extracts from the programme are used
• There is a voice over which: may show the narrative or pose questions.
• There is always music
• The advert is always played on an appropriate radio channel; young teenager BBC programmes can be advertised on Radio 1
We analysed two different radio trailers, in order to recognise the different examples of codes and conventions used. This would then be able to give us an insight into the lay out of radio adverts, which in turn would give us an idea of how to set out our own radio advert.
We looked at the radio trailer about the appeal for help towards Madeline McCann. It included a variety of typical conventions such as the narrator broadcasting the time, channel and day it would be broadcasted. In the background there was a rhythmic beat which caused a serious tone to the trailer, in-keeping with the seriousness of the subject. At the end there was the ident, a memorable sound to distinguish its broadcaster.
The next chosen radio trailer to analyse was a documentary about the Queen. The use of rock music in the background was an unsusual sound to include and was un-asscociable with the connotations included with the Queen. The inclusion of voice clips of the Queen, made the trailer subject more recognisable. It also included voice clips of bush and the public, which gave a comparison and variety to the trailer. The trailer did use some conventions, however it did not use a narration; which can be seen as unusual.
We found that the trailer about Madeline McCann used a lot of conventional media codes, in order to keep the tone professional and serious; which is understandable due to the seriousness of the subject. They included recognisable radio conventions, such as the ident and a narrator. However, the Queen trailer was un-conventional. It did not use typical conventions, and tried to add irony to a subject that many find serious. The only conventions used, is that of an example of voice clips. The un-conventional exmaples, are that of rock music playing instead of classical music which could be seen as more fitting with the Queen.
These trailers helped us greatly, and we decided to try and include conventions as well as out inovetive ideas.

Codes and Conventions of Print Adverts
As you can see these are easily recongnisable as channel 4 posters, as they use their typical and recognisable conventions. Such as: writing in a box, one main image, the date, the title, the time and the logo included; all in similar places.
This conventional style make its layout easily recongnisable as that of channel 4's.
We looked at different examples of posters such as:
As you can see this poster is being advertised by an American broadcasting channel, i wanted to look at the difference between Brittish advertisements and American advertisements. As you can see the layout it different, as all the main information is put at the bottom of the poster. However the image is striking and attracts the audience.
Conventions of a Print Advert
One key image
Minimalist use of words- simple and concise
The title is always included
The slogan is also sometimes included on the print advert
The scheduling information always included
Channel logo is prominent and particularly on the right hand side
The print advert is usually a4 landscape size so that it is versatile and can be used at various sizes in newspapers, magazines or on billboards
This is the first draft of our print advert which we drew ourselves. It has the channel 4 logo on the right, the title of the programme on the bottom right and the day the documentary is underneath the title. However, We took the image from our sequence and becuase of this we decided not to use this poster and use an original photo we took ourself.
We took a picture of somebodys knuckles and used photoshop to make it look as though there was tattoos on the knuckles. We decided to use this image as it was original and the audience can see that the documentary is about tattoos. Again we put the channel 4 logo on the right hand side and the title and date on the bottom left in text boxes.
