-Date above the masthead
-Focused on the main
image- so takes up most of
the magazine front cover

These are all codes and conventions of a
magazine that make them fit for purpose. I
would like to “repeat” (Steve Neale) these so
that my own work is successful.
POSTER
This poster has the characters encompassed in fire,
connoting their fiery personalities, and perhaps that they
may all be in danger. The fact that they are all to be
affected, by this fire is also emphasised, since no one is
spared. However since they are all fairly young, the
poster is trying to entice the younger audience members.
In accordance with Hartley‟s subjectivity of Gender, it
is clear that this is prominent in this soap, with three
females in the middle and the two males on the
outskirts. This connotes how perhaps the female sex are
in charge and of higher authority. The fact that they are
all unclothed is perhaps a physical representation of
their vulnerability or sexual prowess.
The point of call information is highlighted in white to stand
out, and is fairly simplistic, as it refers to the tagline and brand
name in the same sentence, with a simple “Starts Fri 5 Nov”.
This symbolises their popularity and the fact that they are a very
well known „Soap‟. The broadcaster information is fairly large,
with a channel 4 logo on the right. The body language of the
characters also reveal that the female in the canter may be
feeling lonely or victimised by the others, who seem to revel in
the fire (a potential disequilibrium), whereas she seems to fear it.
