Research- Posters

To begin my research I will research the style and the continuity that is used in each poster for the TV channel that I have chosen.

My first poster is for Channel 4. When looking at many posters that they have created, I have seen that the conventions for all of them are to have the Channel 4 logo along the right hand side of the image, the image take up the whole screen and then the name of the TV show and the tag line in a white text box on the left hand side. Most of the images that are used are brightly coloured and dramatic. The TV shows that are shown on Channel 4 are often modern day documentary styled programs that will cause emotion to the views and are up to date issues, this is why I have chosen it to create a poster for Channel 4 that is to do with the effects that drugs have on teenagers and the adverse effects from this.

 

The second poster that I will look at is for BBC Three, I have chosen this channel to produce my poster for because they have other TV shows that are targeting a teenage audience such as "Sun Sex and Suspicious parents". This poster will be used to advertise a TV show about young adults (aged 16-24) using drugs and talking about how they enjoy them and how they improve their experience.

 

The third poster that I will be creating is for ITV2 and will be for glamorising smoking, I chose this channel because it has programs such as The Only Way is Essex and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. These programs are known for being glamorised and for being sexualised so it would fit the criteria to be shown on this Tv channel.
