THE USE OF YOUTUBE ALOUD ME TO LOOK AT ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAILERS, RANGING FROM TRADDITIONAL SOAPS SUCH AS CORONATION ST AND EMMERDALE THEN TO POPULAR PROGRAMMES NOW VIEWED ON A

SERIES BASIS SUCH AS MISFITS AND INBETWEENERS.

CONDUCTING THIS REASERCH ALOUD ME TO GAIN IDEAS FOR MY OWN SOAP TRAILER AND ESTABLISH

CONVENTIONS REPEATIDLY USED IN SOAP TRAILERS.

CREATING A PRELIMARY TASK ENABLED ME TO GAIN VALUABLE SKILLS. FIRSTLY IT ALOUD ME TO LEARN HOW TO USE A VIDEO CAMERA EFFETIVLY, LEARNING ABOUT SHOT TYPES. IT ALSO ENABLED ME TO LEARN HOW TO

CLIPS, INSERTING TRANSITIONS AND ALSO INSERTING TITLE CARDS.

4CONSTRUCTION – ANCILLARY PRODUCTS

WHEN CONSTRUCTING OUR ANCILLARY PRODUCT WE USED ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TO EDIT THE IMAGES, THIS INCLUDES INSERTING DIFFERENT LAYERS TO PHOTOS, ADDING A GLOW AND GETTING RID OF PIXLEATED

EDGES. THEN TO PULL THE PRODUCT TOGETHTER WE USED PUBLISHER.

WE USED THIS TOOL TO ERASE THE GREEN SCREEN BACKGROUND FROM THE CHARACTERS SO WE

COULD CHANGE THE BACKGROUND.

WE INSERTED A NEW LAYER SO WE COULD INSERT A GLOW AROUND

THE CHARACTERS.

WE USED THE PAINTBRUSH TOOL TO DRAW AROUND THE CHARACTERS

SO WE COULD ADD THE WHITE GLOW.
