2. For our first ancillary product, we created a billboard poster that
would be used for advertising our soap.

5. I chose E4 as it has a
younger audience than
something like the BBC and
due to this viewers are bound
to be younger and are more
likely to relate to our
storylines.
I used the logo guide on the
channel 4 website to match
the brand realistically to my
soap.

7. •Our primary audience is young adults ranging from 14 to around 25.
•My trailer includes technology such as iPhones and things that have
come from that. Such as people taking „nudes‟ ... Everyone knows
someone that has bullied due to it in this day and age.
•Includes realistic stress for the age group, teen pregnancies, drug
issues, friendship and domestic issues.
•Some of the audience will still be in education and will be able to
relate to the „petty‟ drama on the show, other storylines are more
major yet a lot of people will still be able to relate.
•Other people will be older and will have part time/full time jobs, there
is more than petty drama in the melodrama as the more adult
storylines show themes such as domestic abuse and alcoholism.
8. For our second ancillary, I made a soap website which
contains all of my coursework but is disguised as a
promotional website for the soap LEAVERS.

12. During my research on making a website I saw that each
website had a tab linking to „character profiles.‟ Character
profiles give you more of an insight as to what the character is
like, viewers may like this feature especially as the soap is new.
The main characters are included and this works effectively
because the major storyline is “Ruby‟s breakdown” and here
you can learn more about Ruby.
