Analysing E4 Poster- Codes and Conventions

I will be using E4 as one of my channels that I will create my teenager, drug encoraging poster for. I chose E4 for this poster because they have shown programs such as "Misfits" and "Skins" that also involve the use of drugs and drinking which is what my poster will be encoraging and glamorising. 

I will use an image of a teenager as this is who the program will be targeting and who would be most likely to relate to the programs.
As well as teenagers watching the TV show, it will also attract an adult audience because they may be interested in seeing what their children are taking and using and the affects that it will have on them.



From this Skins poster we are able to look at the conventions that are used. For example, there is a banner with the E4 logo at the top right hand corner, this would be seen on all posters that they create and therefore I will need to include it in mine. Another convention that I can see from this poster would be that the poster used should be washed out and use dark colours in order to create a negative feeling. In order to achieve this in my own work I will need to chose where I take my photos carefully so that they give the same feeling off.
