Conclusion When labelling both of the DVD covers I discovered that there are a lot of similarities to both of them. Such as having the number of the season on the front so that the target audience know what season they are watching and also what season they need to buy or watch next.On the Sarah Jane front cover there was only the main character which was Sarah Jane and then on the back cover there was picture of the three helpers.On the M.I.HIGH on the front cover there was a silhouette of all the main three characters and then on the back cover its shows one of them individually, all three of them in action and then it shows them in a line with the head spy, and this will give the audience a sense of excitement.Overall I think that both DVD covers are very similar not just because it’s the same category but they have a lot of things that are similar. This will help us when doing our ancillary task because we will know what is common for a magazine cover for children’s TV drama.

Conclusion When labelling the two magazine covers I discovered that there are a lot of similarities that they use to attract the audience to read more about it.The first similarity I noticed that they bot have prizes inside and this is used to make the audience buy the magazine if they want the prize, but it can also be a bonus if you really want to read the article.Another similarity would be the main imagine of the character is in the middle to make it more attractive and the main article story would be either next to the picture or in the middle of the picture.For our magazine we plan to use some of these features, such as having the main imagine in the middle with the main article on the side of the picture.Another thing we will be using that is really common when wanting to attract the target audience, would be having a prize inside of the magazine so its like a bonus when buying the magazine.
