Various different
storylines are used to
make the trailer more
interesting.

There are 7 total
• I started my trailer
with a scene to
immediatly grab the
audiences attention,
the shocking scene of
the car crash.
• As the trailer
continues, we
continue to get
shocking images of
death and conflict
between the
characters.
• I used fast paced
editing all the way
through my trailer
apart from the end
which i slowed right
down in order to make
the audience reflect
on the events.
We used natural lighting to give
our soap a natural look.
The natural lighting also helped
make the soap look realistic.
We did however use the night
effect when editing this was to
make the scene look as though it
is dark and creates a negative
atmosphere.
The soundtrack i used for my
trailer was a Bullet For My
Valentine song called Say
Goodbye (also called Say
Goodnight).
I chose this song as the lyrics
matched the theme for my
soap opera trailer.
The song reflects some of the
themes covered in my trailer,
including: love, death and
pregnancy.
