PRODUCT and ancillary texts?
Evaluating an E4 poster:
SKINS
Different facial expressions – Showing their
characters personalities through there faces.
All characters All characters in the show
positioned situated in different angles and
differently however doing different things in order to
still in a line enabling portray their characters
them all to be seen personalities
on the poster
Faded background “theme” – grey, dull colours
representing a negative dirty youth. Making the
characters look “un-clean” representing a party
scene which is what SKINS is about.

6. Question 2 – How effective is the combination of your main
Q2 PRODUCT and ancillary texts?
MY PRODUCT:
E4 Branding – E4
COLOUR SCHEME: Characters in their character
Purple and Yellow costumes which have been
planned and also minimal
E4 Logo scribbled out in order makeup on the female characters
to blend in with the crease in in order to create realism – as
the tape with the writing on they are students
Font used in text is the same and also the
E4 font - Given the audience the date and
time so they’re aware of when FRESHER’S
is going to be on E4.
Layout of characters thought about and
put next to each other into pairs of what
story lines they have been in together in
the trailer. For example Monica and
Sam the two far left characters are
looking miserable and un happy as
they are within the show therefore this
is revealing their personalities and
issues through their facial expressions.

The images in the mood board reflect the things that my
