The document discusses key elements of TV show trailers including using background music, logos, following a storyline, using various camera shots including close-ups and voiceovers, and having a similar short length. It also discusses using close-up shots to understand characters, sticker logos showing the channel, not using pans due to equipment limitations, establishing shots with multiple characters, unusual shots focusing on action rather than characters, and using transitions between scenes.

2.  Background music
 E4 logo and sticker at the end
 Contains multiple characters
 Sticks and follows a simple storyline
 Both use a variety of camera shots
 Most shot are close ups
 Voice over shots
 Similar lengths

3. It is essential for the trailers not to be to long so that the reader
doesn't loose interest. Also so that the storyline doesn't drag on
to much and give away the whole of the plot, it should leave
them wanting more.

4. The sticker at the
end shows the
reader what
channel to catch
the show on – brand
identity.

5. Close up shots allow us to see the character closely and clearly.
We can determine a lot about them from these shots – gender,
age, class, status?

6. I didn't use any pan shots where the camera
moves – for the reason that all our shots
were done on a tripod so they were not
shaky and we had no equipment to do a
panning shot.
 In my trailer, I didn’t use any shots
containing mass amounts of people. The
most people that appear in one shot of my
trailer is 3, whereas in the Made in Chelsea
trailer, 10+ characters appear.

7. Pan shots are very useful and show the reader in a lot more detail what
is happening. We didn't use these in our trailer due to timing and
equipment issues.

8. Shots containing lots of characters help set the scene. They are used
mainly for establishing shots to learn where the characters are and
the location and situation they are in.

9. I used unusual shots that focus on the action
rather than a specific character
 Usually Made in Chelsea trailer, the music
begins later on in the trailer after a scene
but in mine the music plays throughout the
whole trailer
 Used transitions such as fade to black to
show the audience where the scene ends and
that it is separate to the other parts of the
trailer.

10. I challenged conventions of a soap trailer by using un usual shots like the
ones seen above. Most shots tend to focus on one main character but the
shots above focus more on the context, rather than a specific character.

11. In my trailer I used transitions such as fade to black. Usually most
trailers don't use this and the shots just flow together. However I
chose to use transitions to show to the audience when the scene
ends and that it is the main focus point of the trailer.
