The Post

The Post 

The Post was a newspaper that was founded in 1932 by owners of the Times and Echo Baron Camrose and The Evening World Lord Rorthmere which were the three main newspapers in the Bristol area at that time. They decided to put all the best eliminates of their newspapers together and called it The Evening Post.

In 1935 The Evening Post was published as a morning and an evening paper and in 1962 their evening competitor Evening World was closed down due to the type of stories they were including which caused The Evening Posts circulation increased to 160,000.      

In April 2012 the papers circulation dropped to 32,996 which caused it to be renamed to 'The Post' to reflect the fact that they have dropped the evening edition and the Saturday edition.

The Bin Story

The Bin Story

 

 

For the bin story i left half column 2 and column 5 then a quarter of column 3 and 4. There is only a quarter for columns 3 and 4 because the other quarter is taken up by the image  i am going to take of bins. The image is going to be of an overflowing bin next to empty recycling bins. 

 

Location 

The  location i am going to be using for this image is the outside of my house at the end of the drive were we normally put our bins out to be collected.

 

Shot Type 

For this image i am going to be an birds eyed view to enable readers to see the rubbish over flowing then have the size of the shot CU.  

The Advert

The Advert

 

For the advert that is going to be on page 2 i am going to be promotion a local farm that sell produce in a shop. For this advert i am going to do a pale brown background to fit with the nature of the business. I am going to take an picture of an chickens egg to put in the corner so they can see the products they provide. At the bottom i am going to do a curved line at the bottom and under that curved line there is going to be an image of chickens wondering around to prove that the products are free range. Then there is going to be text that say were the shop is , what they produce and the opening times of the shop.   

 

Location

The location i am going to use for these images are my garden because my mum owns free ranged chickens therefore it is very accessible and i only want ordany chhickens that a farm would own.  I will also take the image of the egg at my house from one of the chickens.   

Shot types

The angle of shot i am going to use for the chickens is going to be eye level and the shot size is going to be MS because i would like to get the grass in the background as well. For the egg i am going to do am going to angle the camra so it will be a high shot and i am going to be doing size XCU to get an extrem close up. 

 

Design 2

Design 2

 

 

 

After my first design i thought that i could be improved and consequently have done a plan for my new design.

 

I placed the the first paragraph of this story on the front page with a jump line to be continued on page 2. The location i have given this story is down the first column and have given it two thirds of the page.Half way through the story i am going to be including a picture of the place were the knife was found.

 

Directly under the knife story i have made a area for another advert for local business to advertise and to show my newspaper is going to be supporting local business.

 

 My main story is going to be about a dance studio called the launch that has been opened a few months ago and is been successful.I have left enough room for the headline to use two lines. The image is going to be on the right hand side taking up half of column 5,4,3 making the story go onto two column 2 then the rest of 3,4,5.

 

Then at the bottom of the page i am going to have my story about bins and people not recycling. There is going to be an banner across column 2,3,4 and 5 to make a clear divide between the two two stories. It then it has the rest of column 2,3,4,5 for the story to be written.

The Offer

 

 

I have left a whole strip at the top of my newspaper for an offer. I would like to use a local business because it will be local people buying the newspaper. I am going to use a mobile hair dresser i know. I have done a first draft of the offer to show what it will look like. The background is going to be pale purple, then the circles are going to have an image of a hairstyle  front and back. Then there will be the details in the middle. At the right there will be a picture of hairdressing equipment with terms and conditions underneath.

 

Location

I am going to be taking the picture in my kitchen because a mobile hairdresser goes to the customers houses.

 

Shot Type  

For the picture i am going to be using a low shot of  the front but having the size of the shot BCU so the reader can see how the hair has been cut.For the back image i am going to be doing an birds eyed shot to show how shot the layers are but with the image i am going to be doing the size of CU so it is not as concentrated on the hair.  

 

 



Offers

Offers

Local newspapers seem to included a offer to encourage individuals to buy the paper. I have examined some local newspapers to find some offers that they have included in their front page and second page.

 The Times

The times has left the left corner of their newspaper for  an offer. They have done an offer for half price waxing by a local beautician. They have done one coloured background and because the majority of their customer are females they have used the colour pink which is associated with girls. They have used a nice delinquent font that makes the advert look stylish but genital.   

 The Weston Daily Press    

      The Weston Daily Press had left a strip at the bottom of their page for an offer. The offer they had chosen was for a trip on a train were you go on a scenic journey and  have a meal on board. They have done a simple offer of a picture of the train on the left hand side then the important information like times, dates , cost etc in the orange background. Then they have done terms and conditions in the white background section.

The Post               

The post have included an offer of a national business the AA that with this coupon code you can get breakdown cover cover from £35.  They have used a big picture as their background with the only colour being  the van so immediately our eyes are draw towards it. The largest font they have used is for the price however below the picture they have done a big box which includes all of the terms and conditions which takes up a third of the advert.
