Billboard Background- Shushana Brennan





Shushana, who was in my filming group, created this billboard for our group to use. She was unable to put the text onto the billboard because she knew that we had all called our soap different things, and that we had all used conventions from different channels.
This allowed me to be able to develop the billboard and make it conventional to the rest of my products, and make it suit my targeted audience.

Magazine Cover- Jack Kane

Planning- Ancillary

Jack Kane create this drawn plan for the magazine cover. He did this so that he knew himself where things were going to go on the final product, whilst me and Kris Thomas did research for the cover.

Magazine Cover Mock Up

Just like my previous magazine mock up, I did the same for TV & Satellite Week. I thought it was important to do this to show the planning and preparation for the final ancillary product. Also, by doing this, it helped us visually picture a student's version of the magazine cover, and what we could expect for our final product, but with more time spent on the product.

TV&Satellite week

When I looked at 'TV & Satellite week', I knew that this was the correct magazine for my soap trailer. This magazine cover looks higher up the social class ladder than the other magazines I looked at which suited the characters and my soap perfectly.

Magazine Cover Research

After looking at the stereotypical trashy magazines, I decided to create a mock up. I realised that this was not the correct magazine for my soap trailer because my soap was a more modern and high class soap. I had to research further to find the correct magazine cover.

Magazine Cover Research


I looked at trashy soap magazines such as 'TV WEEK' which have timings of all soaps and programmes. I thought I would look at these types of magazines because I know that they are popular with their audiences so I thought it would be beneficial for me to look at their conventions as to how they target their audiences and attract them into buying the magazine.
