Comparison of listing about documentary "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" (also known as "Gypsy Weddings" ) in 'TV choice' and 'What's on TV' magazines.
The documentary was screened last year and was very sucessful, now it's being re-screened after being expanded. Follows a series of big events for travellers.
- TV Choice:
No adverts or distractions
gives documentary a full page spread
better choice of words ( titled "Traveller's Tales" )
impressive photo to go with the review
about 500 words
two pictures, better / respectable angles
interview with producer
- What's on TV:
Half page review
shares with another documentaty - page titled 'Real Life TV'
"Gypsy Tales!" tabloid heading
potentially offensive - eyecatching
"Take a peek" - spying on them / prying into their lives
interview with executive producer
same two pictures but gives tacky look / not very good angles
less words
- Radio Times:
2 pages spread with collumn
different pictures, different angle (at same level with girls in photo)
contains the same 2 pictures to others - better looking angle
better quality / better composed
better title "loud and proud"
higher production magazine - more expensive
linked to another page about the documentary with another photo
quote from dress maker
shorter review but nicer words
