News Paper Advert - Downton Abbey

 

Title: Downton Abbey

Source: News of the World

 

 

Analysis:

 

This advert, takes up the whole double page spread of the news paper and is filled with the characters from Downton Abbey, in a family portrait manor, however all looking very suspicious. The suspicious facial expressions, the broken frame and the tag line "A House Divided" gives the audience some early idication of the plot. A tag-line is something conventionally used in newspaper adverts and something I wish to use in my own.

The lack of information on many newspaper adverts, for TV programs, including this one, is very conventional. This leaves it open to interpretation by the audience and gives them scope to go and watch the program in order to find out more.

 

Another convention of newspaper adverts, is to include the time, date and television channel which the program would be broadcast. This gives the audience valuable information as they would not ab able to view the program with out it.
