Normal teenage fashion- denim jackets; t-shirts etc..

Emphasises that they are of similar age to the audience.

Use of

feather bower- adds humour and characteristics. In touch with his feminine side.

Audience want to know why he is wearing it.

Rhino supports a ‘Ralf Lauren’ t-shirt, keeping up with fashion and in trend. Also, the tattoo of a Rhino on his arms adds humour.

Q2Representing Age: Ivy wood has young characters. People associate this almost

like a ‘school’ soap: e.g. Waterloo Road.

Actors and characters are the same age as their

target audience

Storylines are for older audiences, as the magazine

has a much broader audience than the soap itself.

Q2Evaluation of products: I believe that our main product and our ancillary tasks are effective because they all feature

the same characters; use the same colour scheme and apply the forms and conventions of already existing soaps.
