The document discusses the process of creating a soap opera trailer using various software programs. It describes how the author used YouTube to research clips and trailers of other soap operas. iMovie was then used to edit the trailer, add titles, music, and export it to YouTube. Keynote was used to add credits and branding. The author's blog was used to share the planning process and finished trailer. PowerPoint was used to create an evaluation presentation.

4. Using YouTube I was able to research certain
clips such as my Dallas on my blog but also
trailers of other soaps on their to get the
generics to produce a good quality trailer.

5. After making my account on
YouTube, I used imovie to upload the
trailer to YouTube. From there I can
share it, consequently on blogger.

6. This software allowed me to edit my trailer;
•Cut and crop the scenes
•Slow down the scenes
•Create transition slides to join the scenes
together
•Change the order I wanted the scenes to be in
•Delete or detach audio from the scenes
•Add soundtracks over the top of the trailer
•Change the length of the scenes
•Add title cards

‘Inspector’

15. This allows me to change colour of
background and for fonts as well.
A good feature I could use was by save a
particular pallet of colour so I could re-use
In could use a magnifying glass to
search for a particular product in
which I needed. I used this for the
E4 purple to link with my institution

my end scene for my trailer creating
both brand identity for ‘The Edge’ and
also institution ideology

communicate with both my teacher
for feedback on my ancillaries but
also between fellow students as well

•Cut around the main picture
•Change contrast of colour.
All of these allowed me to create an
effective front cover to grab the readers
attention and focus on the main character

to start assembling my
product together.
As well as assembling I
also could do lots of
things using this;
•Use different fonts

front cover as a JPEG where from
here it could be uploaded onto
blogger.

logging into slide share allowed
me to upload all my PowerPoint
presentations onto my blog
