Codes and Conventions - Print Adverts

As our documentary is to be broadcast on Channel 4, I used this website to find other posters used by the channel to advertise their programmes:

These are some of the examples I found:

From these I was able to draw up a list of codes and conventions of channel 4 specific adverts so that we would be able to make ours as realistic as possible.

• The channel logo is always included.
• One main image relating to the programme.
• The title of the programme
• A slogan which relates to the programme and/or its content.
• Scheduling (time, date, channel)
• Words are kept to a minimum on the adverts.
