For the poster we could have the page divided up into 6 sections (similar to a collage) and we could take photographs of all the characters in there offices. Each photography should be carefully taken to represent the characters prominent characteristics. We also have to think very carefully about the mise-en-scene in the photographs eg; how would each character decorate their offices and how well kept will they be?
For the trailer maybe we could begin with the frame sectioned off and from the photographs of the trailer we could have all 6 frames as video clips. This could be a quirky opening and then we could zoom into one of the frames and continue a short scene/storyline revolving around that main character. This allows the trailer to not be concurrent, introduce all characters and show or skills in post production.
What do you guys think?

I think that would be a good idea however, it might give the idea that the soap is very comical, which is not true. Particularly as the soap goes against normal stereotypical characters and conventions. Another idea could be to have an establishing shot of charcters sitting on a meeting table with the boss at the head of the table (we could also use wide angle shots,low angle and zoom ins to show she is in control). And then we can zoom into charcters eyes and show a clip for a ew seconds highlighting their charcteristics. Non-diagetic music can also be used in the background. I think i we did it this way then audeinces would get a clear idea of each character through symbolism shown in the short clip as well as raise narrative enigma's. Creating narrative enigmas in a trailer is very important is the only way the audeince can answer these is through watching the soap, and so immediately audeinces are gripped.
