Over the shoulder shot,
creates a feeling of
“I‟m going to tell him”
suspense as the audience
doesnt know who Jack is
talking to. We also don‟t
know the topic of
conversation, so the line
„I‟m going to tell him‟
could mean anything.
Jack is also holding a
coffee cup, which shows
the visit was casual.
This symmetrical shot, with the girls looking at
each other show that they are friends. They are
both mirroring each other by playing with their
cups, this also shows how they are close to each
other. The colour of their clothes represents who is
good and bad.

A close up of Georgia‟s
face shows the audience
her emotions really well.
A strong sense of sadness
is created and she is
looking down at the
ground to show that she
is upset. Her eyes are
partly closed and her lips
are pursed which gives
the impression that she is
trying to hold back tears.
The tracking shot with the dolly camera circles the girls at the
table, Sophie struggles to keep eye contact with Georgia
which shows she has something to hide.

Over the shoulder shot/Shot reverse shot
This shot reverse shot and over the shoulder shot of Jake and
Sophie is a an example of good use of camera work, because
you presume Jake to be talking to Georgia, and the audience
will be shocked to find out that it is Sophie that he is talking to.
A regular viewer will then know that Jake is seeing two girls at
once.

Soundtrack: „Bug‟ by WAVVES
The lyrics to the song used relate to the main story line, here are some
screenshots with the lyrics quoted.
“No you‟ll never get it all, not in this world.” “You‟re such a drag on everyone.”
“You‟re no fun.”
Similar shot, to remind audience what happened to Jack.
The song lyrics used in the trailer fit the images
effectively because the song is about someone that
no body likes, that is „no fun‟. This fits because no
body likes Jake in the trailer because he is using two
different girls.

In the first few seconds of the trailer, I editing together scenes where
people were smiling and having fun, to shots where Jack was killing
himself so a great contrast could be seen.
This would create a sense of unease in the audience as it
would bring up mixed emotions. I think the contrast
between the shots would also make the audience
sympathise for Jack more, it makes him seem
isolated and alone.

In terms of props, we used
costumes that we thought
would stereotype the
character to an extreme, for
example, the gilet that Jack
is wearing because he is
gay, and the furry coats and
scarves the girls are wearing
because they are rich and
stuck up.
For locations, we used
places that we had seen
previously in soaps, (e.g.
The Rovers Return Inn,
Coronation street.) we used
a pub for the boys, and a
café for the girls.

The class and status of the characters can be easily determined by the way they are dressed, for example,
the girls wear furry coats with matching scarves, and Jack is wearing a Jack Wills gilet to represent his
wealth. Characters of lower class and status are not wearing clothes of such a high standard.
The class varying class of the characters shows that there are different
characters in the soap that the audience can relate to. The majority of the
characters are high class because we were parodying similar soaps.
Jack Wills.
Toby is wearing a
Pretty Green shirt.
Harry is wearing a plain
black t shirt with a
dinosaur on it.

Several genres are represented
in the trailer, the main one
being romance and deceit.
This is shown through the
images of Jake flirting and
being with two different girls.
The other genres seen are
drama and comedy. The
main dramatic moment in
the trailer is when Jack
attempts to kill himself.
Comedy value was added to
trailer through me dressing
up like a girl because I „lost a
bet.‟

11. 1.
The order of the events in my trailer is important, as it shows which events are intertwined, for
example, the shots of Jack killing himself run at the same time as me, Toby, and Jake are in
the pub. They are also important because they make the story unfold as the trailer goes on.

This shot seems fairly innocent, and the rest of the plot unfolds.
night with Sophie as well,
The use of intertextuality as a way of setting the
mood and moving the plot forwards. The use of
i-phones shows the characters wealth and
conforms to conventions in other soaps.
