Transcript of Practice soap evaluation
Making and evaluating my practice soap
trailer
Because this was my practice product we had to work out how we worked best in our group. We all started by finding spoken dialogue from other
soaps and selecting some to use in our own. This means we were using a
source to make our own practice soap realistic. We ended up taking speech out
of both Hollyoaks and Emmerdale.
We divided our team for each storyline into different roles:
Director: Becky
Camera men: Emma G and Emma H
Actors: Max, Tiff, Joe and Me
Story line three Director: Tiff
Camera men: Me and Emma H
Actors: Becky and Joe
Crew: Emma G and Max
Director: Max
Camera men: Becky and Joe
Actors: Me and Emma G
Crew: Emma H
Story line two Story line one
By splitting the groups into different roles it meant we got to practice each
different job as well as keeping ourselves organised and on our own
personal task.
When filming we used a lot of angles used in the actual soap. This meant that we had a practice at what conventional framing and shot angles are used in your typical soap. This would helps us to recreated a realistic product for our final trailer.
Mine and Tiffs editing of the trailer:
Me and Tiff noticed that a common feature in trailers is the use of thought
beats. We decided to imitate this feature in our practice trailer. The music
we used in the background is the opening cut from a song called “You!
Me!Dancing!” which was popular with our audience (late teens). To create more of a intensity to our thought
beats we also put a heartbeat sound with the music to create a better effect.
We think thought beats work in trailers because it gives the audience little
snippets of feelings from each character. We will be considering using
this in our final product.
TITLE CARDS
Title cards are an essential part of soap trailers because they help create a narrative.
I think the title cards in my soap could be improved and I hope to use different ones which create more branding in my final product.
I think my practice trailers cuts could of ran a lot smoother and that some of the dialogue could of been louder – this is something I will try and improve on for my final product. Sound is a very important thing to get clear when filming. I
think our lighting worked well throughout the trailer and this isn’t something we struggled with. The main music used in the trailer was “heart skips a bit” by Olly
Mures and I felt this worked well because it matched the narratives.
