HANDHELD MOVEMENT
I have incorporated a handheld
movement into my trailer as I
believe that it is effective towards
the audience. The “recording”
screen that has been embedded
onto the clip also makes it seem
more realistic and engages the
audience more; it is as if they are
taking the video themselves.
Handheld movements are
common in melodrama trailers as
they are often used to reflect the
past of someone suffering with an
illness which is what I am portraying
in my trailer. Therefore, my use of
the handheld movement has been
conventional.
CLOSE UP
Close ups are important and are
frequently used in melodrama
trailers. By having the close up shot,
the audience can get a closer look
at the characters and this makes it
easier to establish their emotions. This
is significant as the melodrama
genre is highly based around
heightening the emotions of the
audience so close up shots are a
necessity. I have included several
close up shots in my trailer and
therefore conformed to the
conventions of the melodrama
genre. I believe that without the
close up shots in my trailer, my
product would not have been as
effective since it would be harder to
portray characters emotions
OVER THE SHOULDER
I have included two over the shoulder
shots in my trailer and they were both
shown during the hospital appointment
shots. This was done deliberately as it
includes the audience in the
conversation that they are having so
they feel more engaged.
Over the shoulder shots are commonly
used in scenes like this in melodrama
trailers to engage the audience and for
them to feel more emotionally involved
with the characters. Since they feel like
they are directly in the room watching
the conversation, engagement is
increased.
Over the shoulder shots are therefore
conventional of melodrama trailers and
my trailer conforms to this.
TWO SHOT
The two shot used in this clip was
used to show the relationship
between the doctor and patient.
Two shots are very important as
they are used frequently in
melodrama trailers. They help to
show relationships and engage
the audience with the storyline. By
showing the relationship between
two characters, the audience can
also get a sense of their emotions
towards each other which then
helps set up the rest of the
narrative; I have therefore been
conventional with my use of the
two shot since this was my aim.
WIDE SHOT
I have also incorporated a wide
shot into my trailer since these are
conventional of melodrama trailers
as they help to establish the
environment that the character is
in. As you can see, I have done this
to show the environment that the
character is in. This helps to „set the
scene‟ and makes the audience
more familiar with where the action
is taking place. Since this is
conventional of melodrama trailers,
I have once again conformed to
the conventions of melodrama
trailers by including a wide shot.
LOW ANGLE
I have included a low angle shot in
my trailer however I have
challenged the common
conventions of melodrama trailers
by doing so. As you can see, the
low angle shot is used to illustrate a
setting or give the audience an
idea of the weather rather than use
it to show the weakness of a
character which is how they are
commonly used in melodrama
trailers. I believe that, however, my
shots of the location/weather are
effective in my trailer as they
indicate the overall mood of the
trailer and help the audience to
establish the genre.
TILT
I have included a tilt shot in my
trailer to reflect the emotions of the
protagonist. Since the angle is on a
tilt, this signifies how the character is
not in a good place or something is
not right so the audience can
immediately figure out that there is
something wrong with the
protagonist. In the case of my trailer,
I have used the tilt shot to show how
Adam is struggling to cope with his
illness so I am therefore conforming
to the conventions of the
melodrama genre and trailers by
using this shot in my trailer.
