2. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and
conventions of real media
products?

3. Use of not having the
characters face in shot creates
the mystery of a ‘who done it
scenario?’
Low angle shot of the phone adds
emphasis to the importance of it.
Low Angle shots create the effect of
the audience watching the person.
Mostly used to show weakness or
peering over someone's shoulder.

4. Arm over the shoulder shows
comforting nature of the
character.
The clothing and hair show
the characters stereotype and
gives them identity which the
audience can relate to.
Use of costumes and props
emphasise characters
stereotypical appearance and
style and often hint at
storylines/actions.
Two Shot establishes connections
between two characters usual used
to show characters that are in
relationships.
This shot shows how the
characters are connected but
that there is something going on
between them with the
expression of the actors.

5. We also decided to use phones
as a way to express and relate to
the intended audience as the
audience will usually have
access to this technology.
Phones were a great way to
show how the soap reflects
everyday life as it is available
to everyone.
The use of having a close
up of the phone adds
tension as sometimes
cause we can not see who
is holding the phone or
whose it is.

6. We used this shot from a
Eastenders episode as it was
effective to show the
character in the car as if we
were stood right next to
them empathising the crash.
This created a big tension to
the audience as it captures
their emotion and
questioning to find out what
went on to get to where this
person is now.

7. I decided to use the song ‘Broken’ by Seether
featuring Amy Lee as the tone of the song
fitted my trailer but also the use of having the
male and female singer added impact to the
trailer due to the main storylines of love.
This is affective as the storyline/narrative fit
the genre of the song and its message. This
creates a relationship between the story and
the song as the way its put it behind like a
background sound due to it being non diegtic
makes it seem as if it describes the characters
life. Plus what the soap mainly revolves
around.
The music comes in to the start very quietly
then builds up with the guitar playing a sad
tone to the trailer, editing the music so it
would be quieter when people were talking
was a great way to show the importance of
the characters speech to each other.
