Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
Experimenting With FontsAfter experimenting with different fonts for the trailer,
I decided to go for one that I believe would be easy to read and fit well with the trailer. There were many different ideas we tried and experimented with.
Experimenting with coloursThroughout the trailer many different colours were tried to see which went best
with the title card. I decided to use the E4 logo as that would be the channel the soap opera would be shown on, from this I tried to use the E4 colours in my trailer. I believe this is an area of my trailer that I could improve as I did not get the colours spot on.

Representing An AreaWe decided to name our soap opera ‘The Grove’ to represent
an area of Manchester, Hazel Grove. ‘Grove’ is also a slang term used in the Manchester area who know the place well, many of the target audience will relate to it as they use this term with friends.
Choosing a channel and colour schemes.I decided that the soap opera we had created would fit perfectly with the sort of
things you would find on E4, therefore I decided to use the logo of the channel and follow the style guide to give a professional and accurate look to the trailer.
