Double page spread annalysis.

This is the second page from the spread above, it uses the same scrap book style as the other double page spread from the Radio times.


The image below is much more accesible compared to that above, it also has a scrap book effect, which is based around a particular person's experience in this case Borris Johnson, although this is not a double page spread for a documentary i think that the second page is a very good way to lay out my double page spread especially to attract the younger target audience.





























These images were from sky listings magazines.

listings magazines. (codes and conventions)

The following magazines have typical conventions of a listings magazine, which use small images with text next to it. For the double page spread it uses a large image where in the crease of the magazine it cuts off the image leaving the whole image broken , the main focus of the image is on the left side of the page because we read from left to right. the main text is usually almost over laid on the image.

Audience research.

Questionnaire results. (1)For female participants.)




2)




This pie chart shows the age range of the people who i gave my questionnaire's out to, i did not include the full range of ages so you can see what the main age of my target audience is.






3)This graph shows what number of people in different ethnicity's answered my questionnaire.
I chose for people to fill in the space for ethnicity on there own rather then a tick box, so they do not feel like they have a prejudice against them.







4)This graph shows how often participants watch documentaries per measure of time. The coloured bars are the number of people that took part. The numbers on the y axis show how often the participants watched per week/month/year/hardly ever.





5)The most popular timings that the female participants would like to view a documentary is at 9:00pm which i a prime time for television.

6)Similarly the time that the participants usualy watch their documentary is from 7:00 pm to 10:pm.

7)this question involved qualitative data these are some of the answers i recieved:
(insert SCAN)


8)



9) Majority of people dislike documentaries for the length of time it is being shown.


10)The participants chose the documentaries which are shown on channel four and discovery home and health, from this we can conclude that people watch documentaries that are available to watch on t.v rather then going out of their way to buy a documentary.


11) This question asked the participants what kind of documentary they would make and why, majority indicated that they would base it around their culture because they want to avert stereotypes and inform people.


12) 6 out of 10 participants said that they would watch a documentary on photography which was based around young people (majority were older women), 3 said no 1 abstained, this shows that some people have a bias view towards documentaries.
