Planning our Soap
This image shows pictures of us discussing ideas, writing scripts, and shooting schedules. We did all of this over about 2 sessions before we started filming, to ensure that we knew exactly what we were going to do and how we were going to do it. Doing this planning saved us time later on because we didn't have to think about where or what we were going to film during filming time.
We all took on separate responsibilities, including writing the scripts and drawing out the storyboards, but over all we all did a bit of everything. I drew some of the storyboards and the shot locations.

Ancillary Eastenders
In order to know and use the conventions necessary for my soap trailer and ancillary work, I did some research into a popular soap, and created a poster for it. I used BBC iPlayer to get the screenshot for the poster, and publisher to create it. Making this poster gave me a better understanding of some of the soap conventions, and would come in helpful when creating my soap trailer and poster.

Preliminary Soap Trailer
For the first part of my coursework, we were given some planning time to re-shoot some scenes from already existing soaps around college. We were then given the video cameras and we started to shoot. This helped us understand how to shoot scenes in a soap trailer, and use the conventions correctly. We also learned how to edit the trailer together and create parallel narrative. We used software such as iMovie and gained an understanding of it. We encountered several problems while making this trailer, particularly with using the video camera, and this helped us to avoid these problems in the future.
We all gained knowledge and experience in acting, camera work and script during this preliminary task. We also practised good planning, which would come in helpful for our real soap trailer. Locations used were also important because we found that shooting inside college proved to be difficult due to the noise of students around us, and shooting outside had to be planned carefully due to the weather (the microphone picking up the wind) and strangers walking by.
I chose not to use the same soundtrack in my final soap trailer as I felt that it didn't fit very well at all.
