Soap Opera Poster - My Inspiration

Finding inspiration for a TV Soap has proven to be difficult to me as Soap Operas stereo typically  don't have posters for their up and coming story lines  it's primarily trailers. I have have had to be very creative and imaginative as we haven't got an idea of how a real soap opera poster would look like. For the next best thing, I have been looking at various different TV Drama Posters in order to get a general idea of what we should be aiming for.

I personally think the 'Skins' featured trailer is perhaps the most relate-able trailer to our 'Behind Closed Door's. Skins covers all the story lines that people face day to day, alike Behind Closed Doors'. As our current topic on our story line we are promoting and advertising is involving serious upsetting problems, I think we are going to aim to have our poster picture background taken in the bathroom. This is because in dramas people and stereotypical real life people run into the bathroom for comfort when upset or to run away from whatever problems arose outside. As much of a quirky inappropriate place it may seem to be, for this soap story line, it seems appropriate and ideal. 

What struck me with the skins film poster was with the special effects they have managed to create a dull and depressing look to the picture to give viewers an idea of the mood of the story line and character. The male character sunk into the musky, dirty water in the bath tub indicates that he wants to escape his problems and that he is almost drowning in all of the problems surrounding him.
