Poster Ideas

Theme ideasViolence-Violence occurs in my soap opera especially domestic abuse between a couple .I could base the poster around a woman who has been abused by her husband and include the colour purple to symbolize support for domestic violence.

Thriller-The main narrative of the soap is someone has been murdered so I want the background to be a picture of a graveyard to give insight into the death that will happen in the soap opera. I want to get the sun in the background of this picture that looks bright then gradually as you look down the page it gets darker when focused on the characters.

Adultery-In my soap opera adultery is a theme included, so on my poster I can include the characters involved in a love triangle to connote to the audience what characters are involved. With someone watching the secret couple to connote the mystery to the audience. The image would be low key lighting to connote something bad is going to happen. The colours I could use would be black and red to show passion and danger

Images neededThe images I need for my poster will be the four characters that are featured in my soap opera trailer maybe in a grave yard with the sun in the background to connote the name of our soap opera ‘the rising sun’ also to signify(De sassure) that these characters are linked to the murder.

I might need a picture of the pub with the name showing to represent the ‘rising sun’ and then have the 4 characters involved in front of the pub to signify that these are the main characters shown in the soap opera.

Poster Ideas

Taglines‘we know what you did’-This tagline reveals that in the soap opera everything that has happened will be revealed. Such as the death, abuse or cheating.

‘Shock affair’-This tagline connotes to the audience that someone is having an affair and the audience wants to find out who it is or if they get caught out.

‘The truth is out’-This tagline ‘signifies’ (De Saussure) to the audience the secrecy involved in the soap opera and that the soap is leading up to a big event that’s going to be revealed.

Other When taking the images of my characters I plan to take a low angle shot to ‘signify’ (De Saussure) that they are very powerful characters and it gives the effect that the reader is looking up to see them. I will also manipulate the images I take to make them look darker to connote the mystery and death in the soap opera.

Synergy with social mediaUse of social media on the poster causes mass marketing for the soap opera. On Facebook people can share things and view pages which the audience can view and also share which will keep advertising the new soap opera.Also on twitter hash tagging something or re tweeting something continues to share information about the new soap and popularize it with a younger audience when they use social media on a daily basis.

Point of callThe point of call information will include the soap opera release date, the time that it will be aired at and the reviews of the soap opera. Also on poster I will include the BBC2 logo to ‘signify’ (De Saussure) to the audience what channel the soap opera will be aired on. By including this information on my poster it should increase the viewing audience.

Mind Map - Conclusion

• To be able to start creating my poster I will need to take pictures of the characters that are in my soap and decide which pictures I like the best at the moment, I think I will use a picture of one of the female characters in the soap walking away to signify someone may be watching or following her. I will take my phots on a DLSR camera so the pictures are a good quality.

• I will also have to arrange to take pictures of the characters and tell them what to wear so the clothes they wear are symbolic to the soap. I will use a variety of simple fonts on my poster the font doesn't take away the connotations behind the poster.

• Finally the software I will use to create my product is Photoshop CS5.1 because it is a very good software to use to be able to manipulate images and edit images and text effectively and professionally. I will also be using it because I have used it many times and am very used to the software and how to use the tools on it.
