As the soap opera I will be making is for BBC Three, it is important that I incorporate the house style from authentic BBC Three posters in order to have consistency and ensure that the poster looks genuine and fits with the channel of choice.

House Style

This is a poster for the BBC Three soap Being Human. Although not an advertising a soap opera, the poster is an example of the house style that is expected of a BBC Three poster.

I will use a hot pink colour for the title of the soap opera as this appears to be the point of interest that BBC Three poster seem to intend to bring out. The hot pink is effective because it’s a bright colour and is only used with one portion of text. Therefore, the text stands out from the rest. The hot pink colour is also present in the channel indent and so this will

make the poster consistent.

I will use a white colour for the rest of the text as the channel indent also uses white and, in keeping

with the need for consistency, I will be using the colour white for the remaining text such as the

date/time and tagline. This will separate the title of the show with the remaining important information,

making the poster clear to read.

The font I will be using is Century Gothic. This is because this is the font that is used in the example

poster and so is conventional of the authentic channel posters.

By following all the conventions of both a soap opera and a BBC Three poster, the audience will be able to recognise the

genre of show being advertised and the channel it will be broadcasted on. By keeping the house style consistent, the poster will look professional and the audience will put faith in me as a producer to provide them with a soap opera that is as entertaining and of the high quality that they expect of

BBC Three, having watched shows that have been broadcasted on the channel before.
