Media presentation advertisement methods

- 2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? The content used in our documentary we would say is generally interesting, our print advert and radio advert allowed us to showcase what our documentary is about to its true extent. If there was no use of ancillary texts then our production would not be as successful because our ancillary texts were used to attract and promote our documentary. Overall this means that the ancillary texts used are very useful.
- 3. How did each ancillary text appeal to the target audience? Target audience: 16-19 year olds We have mainly targeted people of the black decent and ethnic background. Our radio advert appealed to this audience as we have a black male rapping about street life and gangster music. Our print advert appeals to our target audience as there is a picture of an inner city ‘hood’ area and a black youth with his hood up. However our ancillary texts appeal to people outside our target audience and we can see this from our target audience feedback.
