Radio Advert

I have now recorded my radio advert but can't find a way of getting it onto here at the moment.

I chose 3 A level drama students to do the voices for my advert so that they could get the right type of expressions i was looking for.

I wanted to use boys and girls to show that my newspaper is aimed at both and made sure they were of the same age as my target market.

After a couple of practices we decided that the advert was too long so we shortened the dialogue and made it faster. My peers also liked the music at the end but felt there should be some at the beginning so we did that. This shows the importance of audience feedback when making my radio ad.

Photo Editing

Here is an example of how i edited a photo to make it look clearer and better quality.

This is the original:


and this is the edited version:


i cropped it so that it would fit better on my newspaper page and i also enhanced the colours to make it brighter and clearer.

Annotated second page

Here is a copy of my final page 2. It is also annotated to show why i did certain things.

Annotated title page

Here is a copy of my final title page for my newspaper with annotations to explain why i have done what i've done.

Audience feedback on poster

As with the radio advert, i had different ideas to choose from and i wanted my target markets input as to which i should use as my final poster.
Here is the sheet i gave them:



3 people liked number 1, 8 people liked number 2 and 4 people liked number 3. I will therefore be using number 2 as my final poster

Audience feedback on radio ad.

I had 2 draft radio ad's and wasn't sure as to which would be the most effective. I therefore asked 15 people from my target market and asked which they liked best, this is the piece of paper i gave them:



As a result of this quick survey, 5 people preferred number 1 and 10 preffered number 2. I will therefore use number 2. This was an unexpected result and showed me the importance of audience feedback.
