FINAL FRONT COVER

This is my final front cover, i chose the two main characters in my tv soap trailer because this creates genre recognition, with it being a boy and a girl, with him placing a hand on her shoulder this suggests some type of relationship that is going on between them. And with the message that is clearly stated with 'EXTRA tuition' this arises questions by the audience as to what is going on.

I also include along the bottom 'FREE DAZ DETERGENT INSIDE' this can intise the audience as the word 'FREE' is very attractive. And also 'DAZ' is a soap which fits in with the genre of my particular magazine.

The colours that are featured on my front cover are very obvious with the blue and yellow being the main two but then also as the cover stars have a pink halo around them which fits in with the book Jess is holding. I incude the date and title in two key areas where they are easily noted.

Above is my final evaluation, this includes questions that i had to think about when creating my soap trailer and evaluating this. I created my evaluation in microsoft powerpoint and then uploaded this to slideshare which i then posted into my blog. I had never used slideshare before therefore it was good for me to use it because it gave me experiance on uploading files and posting them to my blog. I found it quick and simple and it also presents my blog in an easy to understand way.

Final Billboard

Above is my final billboard, from my previous practices of creating billboards by getting feedback i learnt what i needed to include and not include in my final billboard. I learnt that audiences respond to particular images and text. Therefore i had to consider what kind of image would draw the audience in and what text would be suitable and fit in with brand recognition and conventions of a billboard. For example the expression on his face shows anger, and it tells a story. It relates to the 'Jess loves Mr M' from this we work out who 'MR M' is and how he feels about this situation. The phrase 'Secrets are never safe' fits in with how he is feeling and relates to the story. The Red text throughout the billboard links in with the brand identity as BBC one is red.

Location Shots

Location shots around the college where our filming for our TV soap soap trailer took place. We had to think about the different locations and where we wanted to film our soap trailer. The locations had to be suitable and had to fit in with what our trailer was about. As ours was set in 6th form we had to think of locations such as classrooms and corridors.

Planning Pictures For Billboard

For our billboard we had to consider what kind of photo we wanted and what would be a suitible billboard for institution and brand identity. For our billboard photo we wanted one of the two main charachters out of our soap. We wanted it to link in with what was going on in our soap, and for people to recognise or ask question what was about to happen.

FINAL SOAP TRAILER

This is my final soap trailer. After feedback i changed it and did what i thought would be better to improve it.
I uploaded it to youtube then posted it into my blog.

First Attempt FRONT COVER

This is my first attempt at my front cover. Looking back i now see what mistakes i made when creating this. By getting feedback it helped impove on my skills and also look more closely at the conventions of a soap magazine front cover. I can see what i did wrong, and what i needed to improve on and this was done in my final front cover.
