Soap Opera Trailer - 2nd Draft



How I reacted to audience feedback;
My soap opera trailer so far has had a lot of positive feedback. I will keep my soundtrack as it is as the beat of the music matches a lot of the edits in the trailer and this makes it more enjoyable for the audience to watch. I have also used a crossover effect where their are two different storylines going on at once. The diegetic dialogue has been said to be very clear, this is because I have reduced the background noise on most scenes as the trailer is filmed in a noisy, busy city centre.

However, I have also recieved some constructive criticism which can be used to help me improve the trailer for my second draft. It is advised that I trim down some of the shots as the trailer needs to be fast paced, this will make the edits much sharper. I could also do with including some reverse angle shots could be added so that the audience can see the reaction shots of characters and see their emotions so that they can possible feel empathy for them.

Planning Soap Opera Front Cover - Mock Up Draft


I have designed what I want my Soap Opera Front cover to look like. The layout has been based on the codes and conventions of existing front covers, such as; 'Vibe's' October 2007 edition featuring Chris Brown as the main star image and 'Billboard's' June 2010 edition featuring Miley cyrus as the main star image.

Song Originally Used For The Soap Opera Trailer



This is the song I have chosen to use on the Soap Opera Trailer, this song works very well as the lyrics such as; "She took him faster than you can say sabotage." fit with the main storyline in this Soap Opera.
