Here is a recording of me talking about my product
2 The ancillary texts are the print advert and radio advert and the main product is our finished documentary. Prior to creating our ancillary texts we first looked at the codes and conventions for both adverts therefore giving us an idea of what out adverts needed to include when It came to advertising out main product.
When it came to the planning of the print advert and radio we needed to make sure we were advertising our documentary in the most appealing way which meant including the the features that have relevance to our main product. Planning enabled us to find the most efficient way of combining the product within the texts this meant we looked at other print adverts and radio adverts for example we looked on channel 4 creative for some inspiration as we want our documentary to be aired on channel 4.
The main product surrounding the subject of colour when it came to advertising this pointed us in us in making our print advert colourful this was because it was relevant to the topic and we also felt as it would be eye catching it would attract an audience to watch our documentary. As a group we brainstormed a variety of different ideas that was could follow for our print advert and which would be the most effective. Considering our titles is living in colour we thought it would be a good idea to have a person in the image to show that people do live in colour rather than just showing colours or objects. So we went with the idea of covering someone in different coloured paint this shows the link between the title and the print advert.
When it came to the radio advert there were different codes and conventions as a group we had to consider to create the highest effect on an audience. Some of the things that had to be included was a music bed underneath the advert this brought the radio advert to life because it would be un-interesting with out. Another thing a music bed should also do is be catchy this is so the song sticks in the audiences head therefore reminding them of the product. The channel four advert and time and dare the documentary is going to be shown is said at the end of the documentary therefore it’s the last thing the audience hear so it sticks again it sticks in there mind.
Vox pops on the radio advert are usually used this is so the advert shows different parts of the documentary are shown this is also so the audience is kept interested and it also gives the advert a fun edge. Therefore in our radio advert we chose to include vox pops of people saying there favourite colours this kept the radio advert in touch with the main product as it was relevant and also some of the vox pops had been used in our documentary. Not only can this other clips of other clips of interviews be used in your radio advert giving a better insight sometimes. The song we used in our radio advert was a song we also used in our documentary ‘ true colours’ however we used an upbeat modern version which was aimed at our target audience. Another thing we linked with our documentary was the voice over on the radio advert as we felt it would be odd to use a different voice over as they should match and it would make more sense.
Our print advert is appealing to our target audience as we used a young girl which makes it relatable to our target audience. Another thing that makes our print advert relatable is the way its realy simple and in present day simple graphics are usually more appealing and as channel 4 is seen as a 'indie' channel which is why we chose to keep it minimalistic. Furthermore we found from target audience reaserch that brighter colours were preffered and as many of the people we asked to do our questionaire fell into the age range 16-18. When it comes to our radio advert we thought that by using an up to date track it would keep it young and funky.
3 From audience research i learnt what was right and wrong with my documentary this enabled me to see opinions from different people mainly our target audience. We chose to make our documentary a mixed documentary right at the begining of this project therefore appealing to a wider rang of people and was a popular choice therefore we thought it would make our documentary succesfull.

I posted my documentary on the social networking site facebook and asked my freinds and fellow media students to give me honest opinions about what they thought of our documentary. this gave me an insight into different opinionson our documentary from people that fell into our target audience i recivedd both negative and positive opinions which felt give us a wider view 
some of the negative comments i recived went as followed 'footage at gallery jumps a bit, but this could be due to bad equipment' , 'the only bad point is some of the voxpops and other shots are wobbly and not straight' and 'but some of the shots can be wobbly ' as you can see the only negative comments we recieved was about our filming therefore this tells us in the future our camera skills should be worked on.
We had many positive comments from our audience feedback for example ' love the music for the opening title sequence, as it sets the mood for the documentary and is relevant to the topic of the documentary' , 'i like that yous used that paint advert as archive footage' and 'camera angles are fabulous' all of the describing words used are realy positive this leads me to conclude that our documentary was succesfull.
Below is a recording i made of one of my fellow media students Rhiannon , before i filmed her speaking about my documentary she watched it. Below she is talking about things she found positive in our documentary.
