The front cover, trailer, and billboard poster work together to promote a soap opera. The front cover shows a crying character, signaling the emotional nature of the soap. Both the poster and trailer maintain consistent branding and hint at plotlines without fully revealing the story. The positioning of characters on the poster conveys themes of isolation and conflict between them that will be important to the show. Taken together, the media products effectively represent the genre, tone, and key elements of the soap opera for the target audience.

2. My front cover did well to represent
the soap by showing the audience the
genre of the soap, by having a
character on the front cover crying, it
shows the nature of the soap as
opposed to having smiling, happy
figures on the cover, which would
represent a completely different genre

3. Eye contact, interaction with
reader
The pose of the character and how she
interacts with the camera creates mystery
and enigma, but the headline reveals
some plot points as does the trailer, so
they combine to create a slowly
unravelling plot that combines all 3
pieces of media.
Hint at storyline but not
fully revealed (teddy)

4. The brand is consistent in all of
my media products, with
references to ITV or the brand
image itself present in the cover,
the billboard poster and the
trailer itself
ITV brand
referenced as well
as E4, creates a
realistic magazine
by including
different
institutions

5. The branding throughout all my
products has been strong and
noticeable, fitting with
conventions and helping to
define the soaps genre and style
The trailer, Front cover and even my
evaluations and presentations have been
branded in the style of ITV and used the
ITV style to promote them.

6. In terms of other publications the magazine cover fits well, I followed
conventions and was guided by TV & Satellite week in making my cover,
so obviously the cover bares a resemblance to it.

7. Header in the
same style
Articles promoting
different types of
programmes
Both are set
out in similar
ways and
engage the
reader in a
conventional
manner
Star engaging with
reader to generate
meaning and emotion
Colour scheme relevant
Headline anchored to Other articles set to the emotion and
star out on the page genre of the main
to promote article
different shows

8. The headline and sub headings of
the magazines main article
compliment the Soap by creating
genre, addressing the tone of the
show and is set out in a way that
represents the gritty and realistic
style of the soap
Engaging headline that suggest downbeat storylines
and represent the soap to the audience in a way similar
to the tone of the show. Headlines also relevant to the
soap, referencing stories directly shown in the trailer.

9. Audience interest is
generated by the stars
costume, make up and props.
The way these combine all
make the reader want to find
out more about the
storylines and the soap itself.

10. By presenting the soap to the
audience along with a conventional,
standard looking magazine cover it
allows the audience to create links
between the soap and its target
audience, a generic soap which is
advertised and reported about with
other soaps of its kind.

11. My other ancillary piece, the billboard poster
also works well alongside the other products.
Once again, the branding is present and the
poster works well in advertising the style of the
show.
ITV branding 2 main characters shown to
present, as well the audience
as conventional
features like
time and day
the soap is
shown.

12. Clothes represent class and age to
the viewer.
The stars and the background
both show the demographic
the show is set in, the village
shows an Emmerdale style lace
where everyone knows each
other and the fashionable
casual clothes show middle
class and young people.

13. Distance between
stars representing the
distance they feel
between them in the
soap. The conflict is
provided by the way
the stars perform and
their facial
expressions.
The poster also allows me to represent the
characters as in conflict, with them stood far
apart and the words Blackmail, lies deceit in-
between them it uses Mise en scene to represent
the characters to the audience

14. Engaging headline, which represents the soap well and
works well with complimenting the front cover by
slowly unveiling the enigma of the characters and
storylines.
Audience anticipation is created by
using the taglines “Blackmail, deceit,
lies, watch the nightmare unfold.” The
audience is intrigued and much in the
same way the headlines on the front
cover do, urge the audience of the
poster to find out more.

15. Genre is created by the way the stars interact, the tagline
and the general style of the poster.
Tagline shows the
tone of the show
and what to
expect from the
soap itself.
Moody looking
stars to show
the downbeat
nature of the
show.
Minimal poster
creates enigma
and mystery
around
characters.
Stars signify the age and class of the soap as well as Small village like background signifies a
targeting the age group of 16-24 by having people in soap like emmerdale, audience are happy
this age group feature on the poster. with familiarity and things they recognize.

16. Stars engage camera in similar ways
to show sadness.
The two ancillaries work well together in creating a brand, a
representation of the soap and inform potential viewers what to
expect from the soap. The way stars engage is important and both
ancillaries are consistent in the tone of the performance. They both
show downbeat and depressing characters who look
troubled, representing the soap well for the genre.

17. Distance between
stars, metaphorical for
distance between the
characters in the show
and the theme of
isolation.
The shared ideas across all three products
are present in the billboard in the way the
characters are positioned. By having
characters on their own or far apart I was
able to show the audience isolation and
distance are some of the key themes in the
show.

18. Both Ancillaries work well with complimenting my trailer and all
combine to make a set f media products that work together to
create a realistic product that portrays meaning, genre and the
characteristics of the show well and represents various aspects
of the shows tone, attitudes and themes.
