Many techniques were used when making this print ad for instance:

‘Watch it or the beast will get ya!’ - Slogan, catchy, stays in audiences head, humour - consumers are entertained so tent to be well disposed towards brand.
Consumer feels that they are being spoken to personally with the word ‘You’. We chose to change the word you to ‘Ya’ as it shows there will be a sense of humour in this documentary as well as it rhyming better and not being so formal. Also younger people use such words like this so they can relate to this I.e Demographic & physcographic audience.

The radio trailer sticks to code and conventions in that it has music, voiceover, informs the listeners the time and date the documentary is being broadcasted. This radio trailer and the print ad help to advertise the documentary and outline the subject it covers.

Before making our radio trailer we listen to various professional trailers that have been heard on the radio. From these we were able to see what codes and conventions worked affectively.
