Advertisement PosterA poster has to be created to advertise the documentary that is been shown by one channel or distributer. The poster must include: - Title - Image (manipulated) - Date and time of showing - Featuring an appropriate channel and their logo. Example of Poster'sChannel 4's Disarming Britain PosterColour The colours used in this poster are have a dark theme, which suits the topic of the documentary. This gives the audience the feeling and sense that what lies ahead in this documentary is dark and could potentially be eye opening as to a society that we live in. Image From looking at the image we can clearly see what the film is about. This helps the audience decide on whether this is a film that they wish to watch. The light on the background makes the kids arm with a gun posture stand out clearer. This could be a signal to the audience that this is a very important topic as well as highlighting what is going on in the film. The logo of the channel and the day and time are also shown on the poster. This allows audiences to clearly see when and where they could find this documentary, Netflix's 'Making a Murderer'Image
The way that this image has been created make the poster very effective. The fact that Steven Avery's photo from when he was younger and himself now says the question of; can a murder really be made? This is very effective as it makes people want to watch the series and find out if this is true. Colour The colours used are very bland. However, this helps keeps the effect of a dark and menacing them that is felt throughout the entire series. Also, the picture of when he is younger is black and white. This gives the illusion of that was taken or is from the past. Where as the picture form more recent times is coloured. Again the logo is shown on the poster, giving audiences a prompt as to where to find the series. However, no date or time is given. This is because the company, in this case Netflix, knows that audience know that the service is for whenever they wish to watch the show. Shooting ScheduleTypographyThe type of typography used in documentaries gives affect and adds to the film itself. If a documentary needs or has suspense then a darker theme will be used. If a happier more lighter theme is required that would be used. I have done some research into the different types of typography I could use in my documentary, Below are 5 possibilities: From looking at the 5 different font above I think that the one most appropriate to my film is the 4th one because it suits the film well and it looks like it has been made up of the black powder used in guns, StoryboardBelow is my storyboard for my documentary 'Black Powder': Target AudienceWhen making my final film I will be considering the target audience. This is the group of people who the film would be directed at. For my film I would direct it at people who are interested in the sport. Therefore, it could be any age. However, to have a firearms license you need to be 18 years or older. This means that I would expect the average age of people to watch this documentary would be over 18 years old. Release FormsLocationTalentUse of MusicThroughout my final piece I used the song Inertia Creeps by the band Massive Attack. Therefore, I had to contact Virgin Records, their record label, asking for permission for use of the song. Below is a copy of that email.
ConventionsSpatial Awareness/Layout: - The crease - Optimise space - Wrap texts (manipulate) - Blank Space used if effective (fits with message) - Different channels have different layouts and logos Cohesion between texts: - Formality - Tone - Font (consistent) - Colour scheme - Linked to documentary and written Image: - MUST be manipulated - You MUST show how you've done this/justify why Colours: - Fit topic - Fit images - Consistent - Readable Checklist for DPS- Heading - Sub-heading - Statement - Quotes from text - Text - Page number - Image (manipulated) - Date and air time - Name Example of DPSFont: All of the font on this double page spread is consistent. The font is consistent for each section of text. The questions are all bolder, italic, red and a different font from the main subject of the text. Not only does this signify that it is what the following text is about but that it is vital and important. Colours: The double page spread has a suitable colour scheme that not only suits the article well but also the colours suit the artist as well as what the content is about. As well as this the image in the background has similar colours. This is like the colours have been taken from her jacket and the surroundings and used for the colour scheme, Colour
The bright colours used in this article show her feminine side as she is seen to be in a very male dominating industry. The pink colours also fit along side her title of her latest album, 'Pink Friday'. Layout Each paragraph is going around her body, which makes her stand out more. This brings more attention to the text on her right. The positioning of the images makes it so that her body isn't affected by the folding page. Her arm will be but her main body will not. Clay Pigeon Shooting![]() For my documentary I have decided to make it based around the popular British sport, clay pigeon shooting. This is because I have an interest in the topic and have access to people who take part in the sport as well as access to locations to film. When it comes to making the film, I will include; interviews, archive footage, footage shot by myself. When it comes to filming the interviews some with be formally addressed like having the camera set up whilst the ones that will be done whilst shooting will done with the camera held in my hand. |
