Print Advert

Our print advert :
Professional one :

I believe we have followed the conventions thoroughly in terms of the print advert, we have tried our best to make the advert striking, versatile and similar to the professional one above.

• The size of our advert is an A4 Landscape, so that potentially it could be scaled to different scales including that of a billboard. This is the same layout to the professional advert.
• The background is of only one image, this image has been made striking and interesting. Our audience feedback showed us that they were a little confused with the association between the chains and learning to drive. However they agreed that they were intrigued.
• In our attempt to follow the convention relating to summing up the documentary using one image, we tried to suggest that learning to drive was a difficult process and a heavy load to take on. It is seen to be another hurdle to beat, and we wanted to convey the feelings of being 'chained' or weighed down with nerves for example, when about to start learning to drive.
• The text, conventionally is the title, the slogan, scheduling and the company logo. All of which can be found on our advert, when compared to a typical, real ITV1 advert.

Evaluation: Question 2

How effective is the combination of your media product and ancillary texts?

Evaluation: Question 3 - Part 1

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

We begun our audience feedback by showing our opening five minutes, radio trailer and print adverts to our media class. Our target audience is people aged 17 - 30. So, our class is a mixture of 17 and 18 year olds and so the feedback will be relevant to our audience.

Audience Feedback Evaluation:

We distributed questionnaires to our Media class.
This is a prezi creation showing a small evaluation and images from our questionnaire.

Our Advert

We have used Adobe PhotoShop to produce our advert. We have chosen this image because we want to convey, that learning to drive makes someone "tied down".

Screenshots

Early versions of the advert. But the title is too large and the font is all different.


The L plate was difficult to photoshop onto the padlock.



Present images of advert. The writing is now in the same font.




We have added and cut out the ITV1 logo to place on the left of the advert. This is what our advert looks like so far.

Radio Recording

We used the recording studio again, and used the same person from our main voiceover to create continuity with our five minute documentary.

The radio recording needed to be enthusiastic and appealing to our target audience as well as sounding persuasive. We briefed the speaker of how we would like her to approach the script.


Mrs. Walton seemed to find it easy to manipulate it to sound cheery and exciting. We recorded it several times, but overall we are pleased with the final recording.


These videos show the different takes of the recording; in Take 2 we used the second half of it, for our radio voiceover:
