First Post!

So that time has come again ...
It is time to choose the brief that is going to be our coursework for the year.

Tgether with my partner Zara St-Clair Pearce we chose the 5h brief which is:

A promotion package for a new soap opera, to include a TV trailer, together with two of the following options:
1. A listings magazine front cover featuring the new soap;
2. Two hyperlinked webpages (with video extract) for the soap’s website;
3. A poster for the soap

We have chosen this brief because we feel that soap adverts are a form of media which we come into contact with daily and therefore know a lot of conventions.

The two options we have chosen are option 1 and 2 as we have more experience in designing print media, from our AS course and we have no previous experience in designing websites.

I am going to research existing soap opera adverts, in order to gain valuable conventions from them. Although we have not decided to main plot to base our coursework on I am hoping to gain some ideas through watching other soaps interesting features.
