The characters in the poster represent the stereotypical teenager which is perceived to be a 'party animal'. This focus is emphasised in the show and also on the poster itself, it showcases scantily clad boys and girls kissing at a party, it also shows an upset girl in the centre of the poster, this highlights the actions at a young person's 'house party' a concept that was very much created by the first series of Skins and caused controversy with many reports of violence and even drug overdoses from young teens imitating the actions of the Skins characters.
The poster showcases the name of the show, the signature of the broadcaster (E4) and the start date and time, this is a common feature of new shows on Channel 4/ ITV, however, my Soap will be shown on the BBC, were the conventions are very different. BBC Dramas/ new shows very rarely show a start date, they all display 'Coming Soon'. With my poster, I have showcased all the stock characters surrounding the 'Avenue Road' sign where the majority of the characters will live, I also have the name of the soap written above the illustration, with the Body text and headline to the left and right. I feel that the image will draw te attention of the audience to te poster, then they will see the channel and 'Coming Soon' which may spark their intrigue and make them research the show in further detil and hopefully watch it when it airs.
