Initial notes on soap opera poster

Soap opera posters are used to notify audiences of upcoming storylines or special episodes. They draw in audiences by making the poster stand out so people will want to watch the soap or that particular episode. In this case the poster of the soap Neighbours is making apparent that the soap is moving channel. It lets the audience know that the soap will still remain the same but it will just be on a different channel.

The slogan for this poster seems to be 'Same Ramsay Street, New Home'. This line is what makes it clear that they are not changing the soap but the channel it is on and notifies which channel that is.

The colours used draw in audiences as you get the feel that the mood is cheerful and that happy. The clothing of the characters all consists of bright colours which connote happiness and a sense of a new beginning, in this case on a different channel. It is set outside next to the street sign with houses in the background. This is to make it clear that they are still in the same Ramsay Street before and that is not what is going to change. The poster makes the change in channel look as though it is for the better as all the characters and smiling and are happy.
