Flat Plan Prelim Task

FLAT PLAN
Here is a flat plan of my Hollyoaks front cover to go with my preliminary task practice trailer.
I have used sillhouettes to represent the characters shown in my hollyoaks trailer. The two black sillhouettes represent the controlling boyfriend (who will be dominant in the frame) and the naive, 'trapped' girlfriend who looks lovingly and slightly worriedly up at him. In the background is the worried best friend who is not being listened to as she warns of the danger. She is smaller becuase she is almost being disregarded by the couple.

ANCHORING AND OVERLAY
The stars are anchored onto the main feature title to show that they are linked to this storyline and helps the audience grasp the narative in relation to the words in the title. The main stars are overlayed onto the masthead which implies that they are the main important storyline and attracts more attention to the image.

BUTTON AND FEATURES
The button overlaps the masthead but not the star image as it shows she is an important character and would cover her facial expressions which are vital for conveying the narrative.

FEATURES
Smaller features will be shown down the left side of the cover and a slightly larger feature along the bottom, which will have an image anchored to it.
