Codes and Conventions of an Double Page Spread (Magazine Advert)

Codes and Conventions of an Double Page Spread

For the ancillary task, I will head of making the double page spread for the documentary that I will be making with Steven. I will be looking and the codes and conventions of the double page spread so that, I can see what I would have to put onto mine to make it look professional and what you would expect on it.




I have been looking at the double page spread where, they was looking at the new doctor who and giving the reader of the article an insight on what he is like. It has most of the codes and conventions of what you would normally have on an double page spread.

The audience demographic that I think that they are trying to target here is not really an specific age range but a group of people that like to watch doctor who a lot and would want to give them more of an insight about what is going to happen in the new episode and what the new doctor who is like. They would make the new doctor who seen in an positive light and they would like him.

The layout of the double page spread is that they have put the image right across one of the first page and half of the other page and this would instantly be the first thing that the reader would see and would make them think if they would want to read it or not.

The newspaper wants to make the new doctor who come across in an positive way and that he will be the new amazing doctor and get the fans of the TV show to like him and would still watch the TV program. Having the main image of them just about to film and showing the setting would make the viewer that like doctor who reading this article get excited.

The colours that are within the magazine article are bright and very eye catching. They would want this because they want to get the people drawn into this and want them to read this so that it will get more viewers for 'Doctor Who'.

The images on the double page spread overlay and they would want to do this on the double page spread is because they want to direct you to a certain point on the double page spread as it is the biggest thing on the page and it catches your eye first.

The colour of the double page spread which is black and white shows the binary opposite, representing the truth as, seeing things in black and white is a metaphor for the plain truth.

They are using cross promotion within the article to advertise the new series of doctor who so that people would watch it and give the big fans of doctor who and insight on what it is going to be like.

Summary
From doing this research, I can see what I would have to include into the double page spread to make it look professional by using the codes and conventions of an double page spread to help me. I will also see what Steven has got from his research on double page spreads which could help me when I make the actual one.
