1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
By Emma Willcox

2. Both my Documentary and ancillary tasks play an effective role on the
audience. Both the ancillary tasks (Advert, Newspaper Advert and Radio
Trailer) and the Documentary are professional and could be similarly
compared to a professional piece. All sections link with the use of the
ancillary tasks including the same date, time and channel the Documentary
will be premiered on. This is to ensure that continuity is upheld to maintain a
professional status. The font used is the same throughout for the title
‘Custom Vs. Traditional’ this is to emphasise the importance of continuity for
an audience. The combination of both my main product and ancillary tasks
are very effective due to all products being identified by audiences as being
associated with each other and therefore an effective combination.

3. Advert
Strengths:
-Contains relevant information.
-It’s an effective advert as it contains
pictures, the correct title as the
documentary, uses a book as the
structure of the advert – highlights the
theme of the documentary.
Weaknesses:
-Could have contained stills from the
documentary instead of the ones used.
-I could have used more eye catching and
colours that appeal to the audience.

4. Placing advert in context
(Newspaper)
Strengths:
-It is relevant to the documentary uses
logos associated with the themes used.
-Looks like an advert placed within a
Newspaper.
Weaknesses:
-Not very appealing to the audience – lack
of colours used and pictures.

5. Radio Trailer
Strengths:
-Contains relevant information
-A male voice is used as the voice-over of
which is seen to have more authority than
using a female voice.
Weaknesses:
-It could be more relevant to politics in
general, by maybe using music that is
associated with politics.
-Audio levels could be improved.
