A2 Media Studies | Ancillary Task: Concepts

Whilst me and Tom are making the documentary, we are also developing on our ancillary tasks and as followed, these are the tasks that each of us are covering:

• Newspaper advert - Steven
• Magazine double page spread - Tom

So here's the first concept of the ancillary task that I'm making, it's meant to be similar to a Channel 4 advert which I have shown in previous posts and with this I'm aiming to reach the same professional level as Channel 4 with the advert. Alongside this, I will also be helping Tom with the ancillary task that he has to do to ensure that it looks professional.

First concept of the ancillary task that I'm making

There's another concept of the ancillary task that I'm making which is shown below, it's meant to act as a small sell line for people which would become the USP (Unique Selling Point) for people watching the documentary meaning that it would be one of the main areas that would sell to them, persuading them to watch the documentary.

Second concept of the ancillary task that I'm making

I created this using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm currently progressing with my skills on the software, I took this using a camera which is good at taking pictures though however not decent, which I will soon book out and use to take a better quality picture. My intentions after the ancillary task is finished will be to finish filming and editing the documentary so it's ready to be viewed by our tribe wired audience.

Summary

Summarising this development of the ancillary task, I've learnt the basics with Adobe Photoshop and I've learned how to replicate a professional newspaper advert which will act as a promotion to the documentary that me and Tom are making.

(26/02/2016) - Updated Ancillary Task Concepts

Showing more development of the ancillary task that I'm doing, below is how the ancillary task looks at the moment and some reasoning to the change of logo can be found on my fictional channel logo post where I've updated the post to include two logo concepts that I've used on the ancillary task and the documentary.

Alongside this, there was also a draft of this ancillary task which didn't make it because the logo was very different in terms of its colour and below is technically the 3rd concept of the ancillary task before the one above though however I didn't go forward with it because of the use of colours that didn't make it look professional and quite odd.
