First draft of newspaper advertisment
Above is my idea for my newspaper article, i thought it had incorporated all the various aspects in the title of our documentary. The shops and the people along side the graffiti being keeping it in touch with reality, but being the people who believe it is vandalism and the people trying to cross over the graffiti are the ones trying make a statement believing that graffiti is art and they are standing up for what they believe in which includes the poltical free speech part. I decided to keep the writing plain and small so that no attention is drawn away from the main image and i thought the deep blue worked well against the lighter, water shade of blue in the image.

Typography (font)
Images should be simple and represt the content of the documentary, they should be engaging and presetenting a controdiction. Typography of newspaper advertisments is usually upper case. The writing needs to be clear and easy to read. The name and the date and time of the realse should be very visable. The logo should also be easily seen so that the company is well recognised and this will all create consistency throughout the newspaper advertisement.

Sample interviews from documentary
A clear voice over
Music
Catchy and exciting
A radio trailer needs to engage the audience in the same way a newspaper advertisement does. It is important to give the right amount of information without giving to much. The music within the radio trailer should identify with the genre and the topic being discussed within the full documentary. Sample interviews are a good way to get the audience to be more enuthasic about the documentary and it is always a good idea to say about any guest speakers. A clear voice over is essential as the audience need to be able to hear things such as the date and times being said within the radio trailer. All these things help to make the the radio trailer catchy and exciting.

Subject matter research

Everyone has an opipion about graffiti its costs the council thousands of pounds every year to remove it but also in todays society it is modern art. Graffiti is a form of vandalism but people see it as street art that keeps youths away from harder crime. Kieran Dunn, a teenager says 'graffiti is more art than crime. If someone has put that much effort into their piece they can't be doing it just to get somone angry.' Young graffiti artists see graffiti as a form of expression. Due to the anti-social behaviour act in 2003, people can now be punished for graffiting and it is now illegal to sell spray paint to under 16's. However new laws are trying to get the council to build places for young teens to go to, to work on their talent and learn more instead of spraying walls. Graffiti has been around for many years even the Romans wrote on walls. Graffiti started when people first started to put their names on posts however it has fully advanced from then and is now considered a form of art and expression. Graffiti is images or lettering that is scratched, scrawled, painted or sprayed in any piece of property some see it as art but most see it as unwanted damage. When researching graffiti online you can hire out graffiti artists. They spray for live art events, TV shows, video shoots, bedrooms, private functions and much more. There are different sections within graffiti, such as traditional graffiti, photorealism, wildlife/nature graffiti, stencil art, organic graffiti, marker pen art, scences and abstract graffiti. Many big companies such as microsoft, diesel, BBC, paramount, red bull, virign, and kiss sponser there graffiti artists. The ED Hardy store paid a graffiti company to graffiti the walls in its store creating the right atmosphere, 'their ability to take ED Hardy's orginal designs and replicate it flawlessly was astounding! We could be more happy with the outocme.' - Says John V- ED Hardy founder.
