Poster Ideas

This was just a rough idea of a soap poster we could use, for our actual soap. I found the image of the street sign on google images and then opened it up on 'photoshop'. I then altered some of the colours to make it stand out more and change the writing inside of it. Initially we were going to have the 'weeknights at 7.00' and 'channel 4' at the top, and then we realised that people would be concentratin more at the centre of the sign, therefore we put the titles in the actual sign itself. This is just a rough idea of the sort of pictures we could use.

The feedback that I got from my classmates was that the writing at the bottom of the sign post wasnt big enough therefore the target audience wouldnt be able to read it. The did like the way that it was set on a sign post however because it looked orginal. Also, they commented on the fact that there wasnt any pictures of any characters, therefore on my final piece I edited it.

Costumes:
Here is the link to the group blog for the 'Costumes' work. These are all the types of things that the characters will be wearing during the filming of our soap opera. We have carefully chosen things that represent either the character or their personality, and the attitudes they show in the soap. For example, the main protagonist character won't be wearing dark colours because this connotes darkness and evil, therefore she would be wearing lighter colours to promote a sense of vunerablity and innocence amoungst the audience. I looked on websites like Topshop and NewLook and got some clothing ideas. I had to be careful when deciding on the clothes however, because when it comes to filming the characters will have to be in similer clothes, therefore I had to make sure everyone had these specific items.
