Ancillary production - magazine article - 8th December 2009

As well as a newspaper advert I also decided to produce a magazine article promoting the documentary. This article took the form of an interview with the documentary’s creator Paul Boden (me) from the perspective of an anonymous journalist. In this I conformed to the conventions set by periodical (magazine) based interviews in that the interviewer not only describes and recounts the interview but adds a personal twist too it in order to engage the reader.

This is my magazine article, set out in a way that incorporates the pictures with the eye catching heading.



This article is an effective means of advertising my production as it features as a double page spread in one of the most read TV listings magazines in the country (The Radio Times).

The article, as well as advertising the production, gives an insight into the producer behind it's creation giving the audience a better understanding prior to the program. the relativly secretive answers and cliff hanger statements help intrigue the audience and would serve to add to the list of perspective viewers.
