Production: Ancillary product flatplans

This is the flat plan I will be using to design my advert with, as it will feature aspects of both education and technology, and captures attention with a closeup and features modern day texting features that will be recognisable to all ages due to the trend in iPhone messaging. I also made the name and date broadcasted different to normal newspaper adverts, as using the text-style format to inform the audience of the name and time will fit in more with the rest of the advert, and will draw more attention than just a white box along the bottom of the page.

This flat plan is a mid shot of a person surrounded by a collage of small pictures of technological devices. I included the website for Channel 4, the logo for that channel and the name of the documentary alongside the time it would be broadcasted. I did not choose this draft as there was no hint in the advert that the documentary focuses on both schoolwork and technology.

This flat plan is a too plain compared to most of channel 4's normal advert , as usually they are quite bold or shocking.  It does feature both aspects of my documentary's topic, but it does not draw the audience's attention. It has the normal conventions of the name and time of the documentary, and the channel's website along the bottom but I chose the other flat plan over this one.

This is a draft of a flatplan for my TV listings magazine. I adhered to the conventions of normal TV listings magazines. I will either put 'tech takes education' as a slogan about the topic of my documentary, or the actual name of the documentary, as some articles have a topical sentence as that is what the article is about. I have decided to make the picture of a person in the dark with the phone lighting up their face to make the page striking and the background a black colour so the text can be white. However, the article is usually on a double page spread. I redesigned my flatplan due to this.

This is the flat plan I am using for my TV listings magazine. It is designed to be on a double page spread, with the picture on one side and the article on the other, like many articles in TV listings magazines. The masthead is the name of the documentary, and will be half as big as the picture to draw attention. I am also going to put the twitter name of the documentary's twitter page, and a hashtag for the audience to use whilst the documentary is being broadcasted.
