1. How effective is the combination of
your main task and ancillary task.

2. Ancillary Task
• For my ancillary task I created a DVD cover and a magazine cover
for a Childs TV series. From, analysing current covers there were a
few clear conventions of each which i used to my
advantage, sticking to some and changing some to appeal to my
target audience. For example bright colours will always appeal to a
young audience so I wouldn't change this, knowing this convention
helped me devise a house style which was consistent across both
tasks. Other examples would be large images and little text, both of
which I used. A convention that could have been challenged and
still would have appealed to the target audience is the
layout, where is aspect of each of the covers are on the page. These
concepts were applied to both ancillary tasks, this ,means the
magazine and DVD can be connected, which creates brand identity.

4. Main task
• I used conventions in a similar way to my ancillary tasks in
such a way that from analysing current products, i used the
ones i believe to be effected and modified others. Colours
for each character are stereotypical mostly of gender, also i
used props, setting, costume and mise en scene as a whole
to create stereotypical characters overall, for example, the
‘cool boy’ had a skate board and the ‘class clown’ wore his
tie in a scruffy way. The text used was similar to the DVD
and magazine in the way that it looked handwritten so the
target audience can relate to the programme. The
costumes were also conventional and stereotypical as it
was school uniform, each character just wore it in a
different way.
