Featurethe strapline follows the same conventions as the masthead in terms of colour and font. The word
‘Corrie’ has be designed in the form of a street name sign showing the brand of the soap.

My First Flat PlanI incorporated strong conventions in order to create a realistic TV magazine.
By drawing my ideas onto a piece of paper before knowing what i needed to shoot.
I then decided that the arrangement of the features didn't work well so I created a digital copy and moved things to follow conventions strictly.

TV Soap Poster
E4 Misfits
Imagesthe images are shot as medium close ups, showing
characters orange community service jumpsuits which show the context of the program
Layoutthe layout resembles a comic strip, fitting the genre of it being a ‘superhero’ story, the black frames around each character separate them like they all have their
own problems
Coloursthe colours used in the poster are very dark
conveying the dark themes of the series, this is similar to my soap.

TextThe poster contains minimal text only programme specific information printed onto the branded tape.the poster does not give any indication of character
names or storylines.
Although this is not part of the social realism soap genre it gives an indication of how E4 targets its audience
BBC Three Being Human
BrandingThe BBC Three branding runs subtly
across the bottom of the page, however it gives no details as to when it is on, what
the show is called.
BackgroundThe supermarket background is used to
convey real life within the drama, the background of a supermarket takes from the title of ‘Being Human’ and doing new
human things
CharactersAll the characters show eye contact with the viewer.
Although not social realism, the poster shows each characters unique ability, or personality. The positioning of the characters shows their relationships, such as the man on the far left being
close to the woman.The costume of the characters are useful in showing that they are working class casual people, who
aren't wearing suits, dresses or smart shoes.
E4 Skins
BrandingThe simple use of the E4 logo shows which
channel the show is on, as well as being repeated on a large sticker, showing the name and start
date of the programme.
ImageThe image shows no story line it just introduces the main themes of the show in a very visual way
that may shock audiences, into watching the show. the image is looks very natural and realistic
Key Conventions • MCU photos which convey characters emotions and narratives within the
soap
• Characters should have eye contact with the audience
• Institutional branding (E4 logo, font and colour)
• Programme name and when its on
• A hashtag for the programme
• A sponsor for the programme
• Minimal text
• Images should be natural and realistic
