What do I have to do?
P1: Describe an existing media advertising campaign
Assessment Criteria for P1:
Learners are required to describe an existing media advertising campaign.
You should consider the advertisements used within existing advertising campaigns across a range of media products.
YOU will need to select an advertising campaign to analyse that has sufficient scope to allow the exploration of:
· aims and objectives
· target audience
· key messages
· approach
· representation
· campaign
· logistics
· choice of media
· call to action
· relevant legal and ethical issues
· regulatory bodies
The campaign must deliver across TWO media pathways.
A simple example would be print and digital pathways. You will be creating a promotional campaign for your Horror/Thriller genre film so focus on an existing film promotion campaign.
M1: Evaluate different cross media advertising campaigns for consistency of message
Assessment Criteria for M1:
This can be built on from evidence of P1 with learners selecting campaigns that deliver/communicate across at least two media pathways.
YOU must evaluate the message of delivery and the consistency across different media forms such as print, audio-visual for TV, online advertising.
The evidence could be presented as a written report, slide presentation, information sheets, commentary of audio-visual material or a fact file with illustrations.
What do I have to do?
Choose a similar promotional campaign which delivers across at least two pathways. An example might be two different campaigns for a soft drink.
You must look at these two campaigns to see whether the message they are delivering is consistent. It should be! On each slide compare:
· The cross media pathways (print & digital formats)
· How the product features prominently (size, location, contrast to rest of advert?)
· Who is in the advert (Celebrity? Unknown? Why do you think this is? How are they represented using photography)
· the tagline or call to action for the product (size, typography & where it is located)
· Genre / Theme of the advert
· Colour & Tone & Feel of advert
· Tone, look and feel of advert
· House style of adverts (use of logo, typography, layouts
The evidence should be presented as a google slide presentation.
Please make this as visual as possible using screen grabs from each advertising campaign. Do not add too much text to each slide.
A more detailed explanation can be typed underneath each slide in your portfolio/ blog.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zyt282p/revision/2
https://www.article19.org/data/files/pdfs/publications/uk-media-regulation.pdf
Ethical Issues are about doing the right moral thing!
You must make sure that when creating your product you are not causing offence. Offence can be caused by any number of issues in the world today.
Not considering these issues in the preproduction stage can be devastating for a production company in terms of lost revenue or even going out of business.
2. What ethical issues will you need to consider in terms of the brief you are currently working on?
Consider the ethics of photography. Think of the following:
2a. How to portray the subjects of the film?
2b. What to shoot and what not to shoot?
2c. How to edit so that the film is true to its topic and subjects, yet also works as a compelling story for the audiences?
2d. How to represent people with dignity and sensitivity to that place, time and experience?
Legal Acts to consider:
2e. Data Protection Act: Will you be collecting personal information about any of the people involved in your production?
2f. Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1998: Do you want to use sound, image, photographs or video created by someone else then you must adhere to this act.
2g. Libel: Do you need any information in your production? Make sure if you are writing about someone then you get your facts right.
2h. Slander: Carries the same legal implications as libel. This is where false accusations are made in the spoken word.
2i. Regulatory Bodies:
Advertising Standards Authority: Advertising on all media
