1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
By Jordan Cella

2. Final Product
Our documentary was based upon the theme of
remembrance, which was connoted through the use of
poppies and the title; ‘The Forgotten Memory’.
In order to maintain the theme of war and to ensure
that the audience were aware of this being the focus,
various iconic items and images were used repeatedly.
For example, the use of the poppy.

3. Final Product
Between the print works and the actual documentary, there
aren't many links. This is due to only the first five minutes of the
documentary being filmed. Had we needed to lengthen the
production, there would be an increase in the amount of
iconography. For example, there may be use of the gun and the
link between medals/necklaces gained through war.
The main links are between both print works and how they
relate to one another, as well as the documentary.

6. Print Work
For the print work, I researched documentaries which were
similar to that of our own. Through this I was able to recognise
iconography and how they had been advertised and promoted.
The iconography helped for the group to know, and understand
what is needed to be shown in both the film and print work, in
order for the misé en scene to be consistent. I also needed to
research our chosen channel, BBC One, leading to research
needed to be completed about the magazine Radio Times.
I completed the research for our repertoire of elements,
which helped us to complete all of the work and ensured
that we kept within the restraints of misé en scene.

7. Research
The research was put into a repertoire of elements grid, in order
for easier reading and so that all work is in the same place.
Through the completion of this, we were able to maintain on
track and ensure that the work created was within the misé en
scene constraints.

red poppy.

9. Radio Times
When researching later on, I was able to find a website known as
Specle, which contained all of the measurements and
specifications of a double page spread for the magazine.

10. Radio Times Double Page Spread
I also searched for images of other double page spreads which
had appeared in the magazine. This was so we could remain as
true to the original identity of the magazine as possible.
Similarities between both are:
-The use of one image, which takes up the
whole of the two pages
-Large font for the title
-The font is that of the existing brand, so in
this case it is the font that is used by The
Vaccines on their CD’s, memorabilia etc.
-The darkened down colour scheme,
however there is more bright white and
creams in the actual Radio Times DPS

11. Newspaper Advertisement
For the newspaper advertisement we used our
research which had been gathered from Radio Times.
This was to help us decide on the dimensions and the
layout of the main advertisement. As a group we chose
to have one main image, and only use simple lettering.
This is because we had rarely seen posters or
advertisements similar for any BBC programmes,
creating a bit of an issue for us when it came to
creating the poster. Eventually we were able to find
some poster designs which helped for our idea to
become a reality.

12. Advertisement
To research newspaper advertisements I found images of similar
ads, these were to help us compare and make decisions which suit
the existent advertising materials.
Similarities between both pieces of
advertising:
-They both have the logo of the
specific BBC channel that they are
going to be aired on
-On the existent advertisement there
is a tag line, on our one there is the
title of the programme. Although
these are different, the programme
in the original may be more well
known and therefore does not need
to be shown explicitly, unlike our own
new documentary

We certified that the poppy was the focal point, as
it helps to promote the key and main focus of our
documentary, Remembrance and Remembrance
day. This helped remain consistent with both the
theme and the shots of poppies being washed
upon the shore in the opening of our documentary
extract.

14. Relation Between Print Work and
Final Product
Within both pieces there is a clear link through the use of
iconography; the main piece being the poppy. In the
documentary, within the first few seconds, audience members
see a poppy which is washed upon the shore. This creates
connotations and links to the theme of remembrance, the main
theme of the documentary. In the DPS we made sure to include
the poppy, which was saturated more in comparison to the rest
of the image, as this is the main iconic link between both texts.
