Whats On TV Front Cover We decided to make sure that we annotated and analysed TV listings to get a more better perspective of
what we might want to do in our own soap.
We noticed that most of the time, the main attraction for readers and potential soap watchers, was the bold colours and presentable "good-looking" airbrushed characters, much of the slogans created important questions and were left on small cliffhangers to make sure that audiences were interested and would tune in and watch TV and see what will happen in that particular week.
We hope to deliver the same in our soap, so including bold storylines, good presented characters and good catchy headlines we can influence the readers to buy the magazine and be more interested in our soap. What worked well in this was how everything was splashed out onto one page, so not only is there one thing to focus on but many little storylines. The main one was obviously highlighted and the humour yet interest put onto it as well, (Biancas fury), it also raised many questions, this enabled audiences to be more in tune with what is happening and yet be prepared for a big explosion in the next episode.

The TV Listings offered hints of information to readers therefore attracting them. Many people are interested in finding out more information therefore they look at TV listings to feed their hunger for gossip and be more aware or what is happening in their own soap.

It does create a sense of continuity, people feel more interested and because they keep up with watching episodes they are more interested in what will happen in the next ones. Coming from work/school, wherever, audiences expect to be entertained well these magazines leave hints but not definite answers, hints create more gossip thus enabling more interest to be raised. In the end the results are audiences craving to watch more and understand the ordeals being faced. It also informs soaps of the different sorts of situations in the contemporary UK. So obesity, pregnancies, two timers etc.
This is important because not only can it inform the horrors of reality it can also prepare people for the real world.In our soap we want to include a racial marriage and a Asian girl suffering from a brain disorder, by keeping it quiet from the family she eventually falls unconscious. I think by including it in a magazine cover we are more able to communicate the different sorts of stories that the audiences should expect from us. Splashing it out on the first page it can cause hectic stress as it will be more difficult to analyse the soaps in many ways.
