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.
