2. As a group we decided to recreate a scene from
Hollyoaks later. We chose this clip as it
produced a variety of different shot
types, edits and sound effects we were able to
experiment with. The fast pace editing gave us
a challenge as it was difficult to recreate the
exact performance.

6. MISE EN SCENE
We filmed our trailer
in a location we
thought would best
represent our chosen
scene from
HOLLYOAKS LATER.
We chose an old mill
in Stockport near to
our college which
provided suitable
surroundings for our
filming.
7. PROPS
Another aspect we took into account for our filming was the use
of props and costume to create realism.
We used fake blood to create a
gruesome dramatic effect to recreate
the moment Silas attacks Rae
The actual character Silas in the
programme HOLLYOAKS LATER
wears glasses and a black
hooded coat to create a
Silas using a rock to mysterious persona and a
attack his victim so we villainous character
replicated this
In the clip Rae uses a scarf to
cover her head in the rain and
there is a close up shot as it hits
the floor when she is being
attacked. To represent this we
used a hoody instead.
8. Technologies; use of video camera to
record our footage
We used a camcorder to
collect a sufficient amount
of footage in different
camera angles helped by
using a tripod which allows
you to produce a steady
image from different angles
and heights.
9. Technologies; use of YouTube and
Slideshare
• We found the clip we wanted to re-enact via
youtube, we analysed the clip then wrote out
the script and the various camera angles and
edits used in the original clip
• We used Slide Share and youtube to upload
our product and create a HTML
• We used Slide Share to present our work and
make it appear professional
10. Technologies; use of iMovie as
an editing application
• We used iMovie to edit our video
recordings of the scene re-enactment.
• By filming our own clips for the scene,
we were able to cut specific sections of
out the recordings to use.
• Through the use of iMovie we were
able to add our own sound effects. For
example in our product we used the
diegetic sound effect of heavy rain to
add dramatic tension. We also used to
sound of a heart beat towards the end
of the clip to exaggerate the death of
Rae.
11. Creativity; how creative were
you in the use of the footage?
• We researched on YouTube for a
clip we wanted to recreate and
get some inspiration from the
camera angles and effects used.
• We were able to select specific
parts of the episode we thought
were ideal for recreating as our
own
• The use of sound effects allowed
us to show our creativity.
Associating sounds with specific
parts of the clips chosen.
12. Soap opera conventions; how
did you make use of them?
• The clips we used involved one specific character
in particular.
• The clips we cut from the episode use different
useful conventions, for example a tracking shot,
close up, and two shots etc.
• The female character we used wears little make
up and casual clothes to create realism. Whereas
the male character wears a big black hooded coat
and glasses to create a mysterious identity.
