Ancillary Tasks

Poster
For the poster I've thought about having lined paper for the background. This gives it the 'school' feel, and hinting it will be based around a school without 'throwing it down the audiences throats' that it's school-set.  I want the typography used and the positioning of characters to be modern and kind of 'edgy'. I want it to look current whilst slightly 90s - like how Skins promote themselves but not as moody-gungey. The poster would be good in a magazine for my TA like NME magazine or Teen Vogue. Also if it was on the side of First buses that would be an effective way of marketing.
TV Listings Magazine Cover
This is the template I made and also put on my Prezi about what brief I had chosen and why. This shows where what normally goes on a TV listings magazine such as TV Choice or TV Times and it's normal format. This will help me when making my magazine cover.
Reflective Comment:

Audience

Here is a survey on TV soap operas I conducted, basing the questionnaire around Waterloo Road and Skins. Feel free to fill it out:

Here is a Slideshare about the data received and what I've leant from it.

I am really happy with this questionnaire and how many people are responding to it honestly.

Today, on the 19th September 16, I recorded some of my target audience, in an interview style, with what they want from a TV soap and what soaps they already watch etc. After filming this I then edited it on iMovie to make this short, easy-to-follow video.



Reflective Comment:
I am happy with the interview video as you can clearly see how people of similar ages and backgrounds don't always enjoy the same sort of programmes. However, I'm not thrilled with the actual execution of this interview as there were sounding issues with Pixie and the general levels of volume change frequently. On the other hand, it's always good to keep editing videos to learn more and more about how to edit. It also refreshed me of how to use softwares such as iMovie which will come in handy when it comes to editing my final new soap opera TV advert.
