Main Task - Website:
From the information I learned from my content analysis, I managed to follow most conventions that I found in my reserach. I decided not to include a catch up player, as no competitor websites chose to include one. A convention I made sure to include was a news link as this would make the website serve more than one purpose instead of just promoting the new launch of the TV channel. Obvious conventions such as use of a banner, a horizontal navigation bar and the inclusion of pictures were all key in allowing my website to look realistic, seeing as these features were picked up from real media examples and real competitors to my channel.
Ancillary Task 1 - Double-Page Spread:
The biggest convention I found from my research was that the text takes a back seat the the pictures, meaning the pictures fill most of the page and are very eye catching which draws attention. I decided to follow this convention as it looked more appealing in my opinion. This means that because the pictures are so bold, the text has to be plain and easily readable so that the two don't clash, if this was the case it would not look entertaining to read.
Ancillary Task 2 - Ident Video:
The powerpoint presentation on the real media conventions of idents that I made was very useful to me as I was able to cross check my piece with the conventions easily. The first convention I followed was related to sound. I found in my research that sound does not play a big part in idents, so I made sure to keep the sound to a minimum. I chose to keep a subtle logo which followed the simple, generic themes that held my piece together. The reason I decided to follow these themes was down to another convention I followed, which was for the ident to be subtle and not loud or eyecatching. The slow motion effect was another convention I stuck to. I felt that this was very effective and that it captured an audience's attention, seeing as real life sport is obviously a lot faster paced.
