Codes and Conventions of Newspaper Advertisments

As a class today we went through and came up with the codes and conventions of newspaper advertisements, these are bullet pointed below:

• The title of the documentary is clearly displayed and does not blend in with the main image.
• The text is ontop of a box to make it stand our more clearly.
• The advertisement has the logo of the channel that the programme will be shown on.
• There is a main image which is relevant to the topic of the programme, it is normally eye-catching and creates a narrative.
• The scheduling of the programme is also shown on the advertisement.
• The image fills the entire poster.
• There is a slogan which anchors the show, it is short and catchy.

Screengrabs from editing radio trailer

Whilst we were editing our radio advert we took screen shots of the process, these are below:

Photographs from filming voiceover

The photographs below are takem from when we recorded our voiceover.

Radio Advert

1: I get it twice a week

2: I get it once a week

3: I get it once a day

4: I only get it once a month

45% of people in the UK like the taste of fast food too much to give it up.

Families spend an average of £3.40 per head on fresh vegetables per week but are willing to spend £4.20 per head on takeaway foods.

Takeaways are now a staple part of the British diet, with families consuming at least one takeaway per week.

Clip from Asda interview – 00:00:47:21- “I know I can get takeaway food from supermarkets but also from takeaway outlets and I would probably use both of those.”

 Are you what you eat?

Codes and Conventions of radio adverts

Today in the lesson we looked at the codes and conventions of radio adverts, in groups we came up with a list:
The codes and conventions of radio trailers are:

• They last for 30-40 seconds
• There is a sound bed used behind the main speaking in the advert
• There is an indirect link to the documentary- for example the idea of the documentry will be followed in the advert but it still keeps the adience wondering what the programme is about so that the audience is more intrigued to watch it.
• There is a summing up of the information at the end of the advert, which is usually the same voice as the voiceover in the documentary. This includes the title of the programme, the time that it will be shown and the channel that the programme is on.
• The advert includes clips from the documentary
• There are at least two different voices in the advert, one of which is the voiceover from the programme.
• Sometimes sound effects are used in the radio adverts
• The tone of the advert is usually informal although depending on the genre of the documentary, this can vary.
• The voices in the advert have clear pronunciation and a standard accent
• The target audience is adressed in the advert.
• The voiceover anchors the advert
• The voiceover includes the audience through the use of rhetorical questions
• The slogan of the documentary is said in the advert.

Voiceover Script

45% of people in the UK like the taste of fast food too much to give it up. Most families spend £3.40 on fresh vegetables per head a week, but they spend up to £4.20 on takeaway. In the UK, over 277 million portions of chips are sold per year and 15% of the UK’s population visits a fish and chip shops on a weekly basis. It certainly looks like the takeaway is here to stay.

Interview with Asda

Archive material of Gavin & Stacey

Takeaway is one of the largest growing types of convenience foods, with families on average consuming at least one takeaway per week. Most people have 7 different types of takeaway within walking distance of their homes but Indian and Chinese style takeaways the most popular.

(15secs)

Interview with the big cod

Interview with mark

The majority of Chinese chip shops also sell fish and chips as one of their main products but are still many takeaway shops which believe in only selling the traditional English meal of fish and chips, these types of shops disagree with the fact that Chinese takeaways are also selling fish and chips because they feel they are less capable of making the British dish at a good quality. Supermarkets sell Takeaway Bags which include a side dish and a main meal in Indian and Chinese styles.
