Supporting Pieces - Poster Ideas


These are the three poster ideas that we are using to promote the documentary.
One is using the typical image of children's obsession with Television and the other symbolises the similiarity with well known violent characters that cause concern with today's society.
We wanted to keep both of the posters simle and interesting so that not too much information was given so that the article would act as the secondary part to the campaign of promotion.


We have also catered to the positve sides of television with our third poster portraying the suitable characters and themes the children "should" learn from or look up to.
The posters are all subjective to the audiences astes. Some may agree with the Itchy & Scratchy poster whereas others may agree with the Spongebob poster.

After discussions with our teacher we discovered that we could not place dispatches on the posters due to copyright laws, so we decided instead to replace it with "march 2010".
the resulting posters ended like so.....

Added Interviews

Over the Christmas period we conducted two more interviews that will be added to our documentary.

The first interview is with Sheila and Roger Jones, who gives their opinion of today's TV that is viewed by children and how they feels these shows have an impact on the younger viewers. By having grandchildren themselves, they aired their thoughts of the shows that they have watched and whether they are seen as good or bad influence on children.

The second interview is with a parent who describes their thoughts and concerns to their children's safety as they watch violent shows. Some of the shows mentioned depicted violence and some inappropriate language. However not all the shows where of a negative view and some where of a learning and resourceful nature. Once again proving the balance in our argument of TV because of the pros and cons in the viewing material.

By adding these interviews to our documentary we will have the full perspectives from parents and teachers to people who were around when TV was first created, this will give our documentary more material to work with so that we can get our message across to the audience.
