Evaluation Question 2

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

One ancillary products that I created to go alongside my documentary was a radio podcast. I had to research and listen to a variety of radio stations locally and globally to allow me to follow conventions of jingles. I also had to research the frequency which radio is recorded at which is 44100 MHZ/16 Bit. This was essential to know to follow timings appropriately to stick to regulations. Regulation is there to try and stop offencive comments towards individuals or a group.

When listening and researching jingles I had to listen out for the clarity, pitch and dialect that  podcast used to attract an audience, I therefore had to follow this and try to capture my target audience on the radio.
Dialect was also necessary to understand the characteristics of language that is used on the radio and that can be recognised within certain groups/regions of people. Males and females have different gender representations within the radio and males seem to have dominance/superiority in a radio station.  

Another ancillary product that I created was a poster. I had to research and look at a number of poster and to create mind maps around them picking out the necessary information that is common within all posters These include the big, bold and clear writing, pictures that are appropriate with the subject, information on the programme such as the channel or shop the product is sold or seen on.
These conventions were essential to use to get the best possible advert that I could create. Without researching this information I would not have been able to understand the conventions that all adverts use. 
These conventions were essential to use to get the best possible posters and podcast that I could create. Without researching this information I would not have been able to understand the conventions that all posters and podcast use.
