Documentary Analysis

Third Draft Newspaper Advert

This is the third draft of my newspaper advert. I've decided to use this as my third draft because i feel it's quite effective linking to the topic of our documentary.

This image is suppose to be a boy and a girl (teenagers) lying on a bed. 

It was quite difficult to get both boy and girl in a right position. Then I decided to cut out their faces and show just their legs as if they was naked on the bed. The nakedness and the crossing of the legs connotes a close relationship between both opposite sex.

The use of colour was decided at the end of my production. The use of pink is to represent the girls, blue to represent boys, yellow is to make the text visible to viewers and the use of black and white because they go with anything and also not to make the poster too bright. However, I missed out on adding the logo to the advert which is one of the most important item needed.

Also I out this draft to target audience to get their point of view of what they thing about my advert. Out of ten I got feed backs of 8 positives and 2 negatives. I also got a feedback saying I'm missing out on something. I believe I know what it is and I'm looking forward to fixing it soon.

When I finally got the idea I had in mind into work, I felt it is not good enough to my own satisfaction.

However i decided to ask target audience about what they thought about the advert. I received reply saying:

• "I would not take no action on the poster"
• "It does not actually fancy my interest"
• "I don't get what it is trying to tell me"

With all the negative replies I got from my target audience, I knew the advert is not the best advert i could design. I have made a conclusion deciding to make another draft of a newspaper advert.

First Draft Newspaper Advert

This is the first idea I had for my newspaper advertisement, when  finished drawing the image I had in my head i felt it was a good idea but not good enough because if i was to see an advert like this, I would not respond to it. I decided I was going to make it more interesting by using images to design it on the computer.
