Poster Idea

The money in the background of this poster almost establishes a hypnotic reflection on the current economic downfall, with the money flashing past our eyes in a slight blur.

Poster idea

In this poster i tried to establish the cigarette being lit which could signify stress. The guy under the flames is being lit alongside with the cigarette, this could signify his just been 'fired' from his recent job.

Target audience stereotype exemple

Ediz Zeki, he is 26years of age and works with a large fashion business which specialises in women's clothing. He has graduated from university with a fashion and textiles degree and so he is pretty much 'in the know' when it comes to fashion. However, his job also means that he has also felt the 'squeeze' of the credit crunch, he can relate to the narratives and storylines in the soap. Ediz enjoys watching films and dramas which both entertain and educate him. These include football matches, 'The Casino' and other films which are based on true life events. He does not watch soaps often as they are usually on when he has finished work or on his way home. And so he will be able to watch our soap as it is on at 9:00pm twice a week. Although the soap is also based on his job he will watch it as we discovered from our focus group that they would watch the soap even if it is set in the same working environment as their workplace. Guys like Ediz are attracted to watching when the soap has attractive characters and many interconnected storyline's which are typical and gossip to keep them interesting. Due to the fact that our soap contains many of the typical conventions as well as all the elements which Ediz thinks is important in a soap. I think Ediz Will be really pleased with our soap, with the soap working along the lines of the industry he works in, further more the scheduling time is perfect for his relaxation time, in front of the television.

Poster Idea 2


This poster was my first rough idea, it is very plan but it still establishes that the 'big boss' chair is a reflection of dominates.

Research: soap website research

I have looked at both the Eastenders and Cornation street website, in order to gain an insight into how they are constructed so that when we come to making our own website we can make the layout of the our website not only attractive but also typical of other websites. I am going to be focusing mainly on the layout of the website, looking at things such as house theme, layout and colour theme.

Eastenders has many features as part of it’s website. These include features such as voting poll, Eastenders news, weekly quiz, a ‘your say section’ as well as the typical latest video highlight section. Video highlights are part of many other soap websites such as Coronation Street. This allows the viewer to catch up on missed episodes. As we discussed during deciding on our scheduling, the scheduling s not as important as it used to be in the past as the internet has allowed viewers to catch up on episodes. So in other words viewers decide their own scheduling time depending on their conveniences and so by including the latest video highlights on our website, we are encouraging this view.

Eastenders has a very clean and neat layout, as shown through all the different features being placed in outlined boxes. The websites focuses on the use of one font. This is shown bold in some instances, such as the different feature headings (vote, news etc). The Eastenders website has a distinctive light grey and black colour theme. I don’t think the website layout is particularly eye-catching as much as it is neat and simple. however, it is obvious that the main website feature is the video highlight section. This is shown through it’s size proportion and the fact that it’s above all the other features. Coronation Street on the other hand, has a much more colourful and cluttered house style. The coronation street website has a background of the soap location, wethearfeild as well as close-up of building bricks towards the bottom of the screen. This could be to emphasise that the soap focuses on working class Britain. The font colour is pink and green as well as black times new roman black text. Interestingly the layout and house style of the Coronation Street website is very much like a soap magazine cover in it’s choice of text, colour and cluttered layout.

When constructing our website I think we should have a neat layout with a colourful background. However, I don’t think that the colour theme should be as bright as the colours used on the Coronation Street website. This is due to the fact that our primary target audience, are people ages 20-40 and therefore they will not be interested in a teenage style bright and cluttered website furthermore, having a website like this will not reflect the style of the soap.

Storyboard (My attempt)

After we had our focus group meeting , we decided to make some changes to our soap, allowing me to put pencil to paper, to create some kind of scene's which could help my group in deciding the suitable changes.
