Facade Manor Final Cut

Auditions and Characters

Fascade Manor - 1st Rough Cut

Final Poster

This is the poster that I will be using for our soap opera. I thought that this poster will be good because it shows some of the characters that will be in our soap opera, and because of the positioning it also shows the audience a storyline. The sign post underneath is good because it lets the audience know what the soap is obviously about a street area. The information about the soap is all in the sign post therefore the audience will know all about the valuable details.

Final Magazine Cover

I chose this magazine as my final piece because it has everything that a normal soap magazine would have on it. The different pictures let the target audience have an idea what the soap is about. The bright colours attract the audience into buying it also. I like this front cover idea because of the captions I have added. This might make the audience wonder what the storyline will be about: therefore making them more inclined to watch it.

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.

Soap Details

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.
