When creating the Ancillary Task, we wanted our piece to reflect a mimic of the guardians film magazine articles in G2. We also took inspiration from other magazines like the Times Culture and Radio Times. Many Film magazines help to promote up and coming TV Series', documentaries, Blockbuster Films and low budget films. We felt that our Documentary 'An Apple a Day...' would be best suited in either G2 or Times Culture as the documentary is aimed at a sophisticated, historically interested and broad minded person. We started off by figuring out the articles layout and planning which photos, we had taken, we wanted to include in the article. A lot of the photos we chose we ended up editing in photo shop to either brighten them up or give them an interesting pop art effect. After reading many articles that were written about documentaries, a similar interest to ours or a related style of writing; we used this inspiration and technique of writing to compose our own article to promote our documentary.
We started off by writing the basic information that people would want to know first thing before reading the article, information like the date it will be played, channel, time, genre and what it is about. We then focused on talking about the production, the film makers and including witty humour throughout to keep the reader interested. We kept the majority of the writing plain and simple with the colour black but for the heading and sub-heading we changed the colour to make it stand out at a first glance. A film reel is situated at the right hand side of the piece and photos taken by our self and editing have been placed in the reel slides.
We thought this would add a stylish look to the magazine article. The end result turned out better than we all thought, the effort and time taken to produce the piece was worth it for the final copy which stood out and had a great witty descriptive writing piece.
