  Q.2 How effectiveis the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
• 2.
  Our documentary isdirectly linked in with our ancillary texts; both the print advert and the radio advert. This boosts the effectiveness of our media products as the more linked they are, the more potential viewers we will get.
• 3.
  TitleFirstly the titleis the same for all three and is shown on all three products; it is at the bottom of our print advertisement and is large and clearly seen.It is shown at the beginning of our documentary at the end of our title sequence.It is then said at the end of our radio advert by our voice over along with the scheduling. This ties it all together and makes it easily recognisable for our potential audience.
• 4.
  Voice OverThe voiceover for our documentary is the same as the one used for our radio advertisement and so it connects it all together making it more effective.On both it is the same female woman and so reinforces the link between the media products.The words the voice over says are also connected within the radio advert and documentary- she brings up the same questions in both with instantly links up the topics from both products creating a link between the two.

  GraphicsThe graphics andfont we used in our print advertisement were also used in our documentary, again this was to link it together and keep it constant. By using yellow font (our target audiences favourite colour) on both the print advertisement and our documentary titles fortifies the connection and so also cements the effectiveness of both products.

  SloganAll our mediaproducts have the same slogan on them (Tickle Your Funny bone), at the bottom corner of our print advert, the end of our radio advert and during our titles of our documentary.This slogan is made to be catchy- if it's on all three products it's more likely to get stuck in someone's head and remembered meaning more viewers and so again, our media products are very effective together.
• 7.
  MusicThe music forboth our documentary and radio advert are the same. Our documentary opens with Charles Jolly’s The Laughing Policeman; this is the same for the duration of our 30 second radio advert.This means that the viewer can immediately familiarize the two which means they are very effective.

  QuotesWe have usedquotes in our radio advert that were also in our documentaryThis again adds effectiveness as the two are connected
• 9.
  Target Audience ConnectionThepicture used in our print advert was of a teenager laughing- we can tell this by the stereotypical piercings. This connects with the teenagers vox pops in our radio advert and the interview with a teenager in our documentary.This again connects the three products creating an effective combination.
