The program freeFall as huge resemblance to our soap so i thought it'd be worth looking at advertisements from them. The DVD cover was the same as the poster and it shows a high powered business man (white) standing in his office gazing out at his amazing view. This holds a lot of symbolism that's easily interpreted from the viewer. The man is very high up from the ground which can be a physical representation of his class in society, his possible bank balance and his egotistic character.
When visiting our location we had various idea's of having our poster in a similar style to this. It's very ambiguous, it features who you'll presume to be the main character. The colour schemes are not particularly eye catching so this may need adjusting. Like most posters the characters centralised it gives you a clear narrative image of the environment and it features the broadcaster.
We wouldn't follow this as our targeted audience will not be based in the center of London, we still wish to relate to our suburban viewers. This is due to the success of Eastenders so we thought to follow certain conventions with this soap in particular.
This is a meeting room in our office location. It's hard to see due to the reflection from the lights but in the background you can see a large warehouse containing fashion garments and hundreds of boxes. We thought we may replicate this idea as a drafted idea for our own poster. Obviously it's less glamorous as Freefall as we thought to bring back down to Earth. It shows the real life industrial lifestyle, it also shows more dominance and gives off a mood of mischief and dodgy deeds.
If we decide as a group to go ahead and create a prototype developing this idea, i believe it will be an accurate representation of our soap.
i remember when we first found out about freefall, we were all shocked, because the program was so simile to ours, also the time that it was going to be shown was also the same as ours.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really as it containes a lot of symbolism attracting our taret audeince to the soap whilst making obviose teh soaps shooting location. However, i dont think we would ned to chage the colour theme and ake it more brighter. This si because using dull colours can portray the mood and current business climate which is a struggle and not at all looking possitive.
