Newspaper advert analysis~Primary Image

•Image creates a narrative as the picture shows a young boy falling through the ground and no one is stopping to help•This narrative links to the documentary title•This narrative created will also raise questions from the readers

•Image is creative and unusual; this makes it eye catching

•Shallow focus is used so the image of the little boy is emphasized•Shallow focus also suggests how quickly everyone in the picture is walking

Newspaper advert analysis~Colour scheme

•The overall colour scheme consists of dark, dull colours (grey and black) that connotes grief and creates an unsettling feeling

•Use of colour white so the title and channel logo is viewable on the dull background•White also connotes innocence and could be used to reflect the children in the documentary

•Black, bold font is used so it stands out on the white background•Placement at the bottom left corner of the ad suggests the picture is more significant than the title

Graphics are used to create white background
