As a group we have decided to analyse trailers from our allocated soaps (Natalie M=Neighbours, Natalie N=Emmerdale and Coronation Street, Elena=Home and Away and Thegla=Hollyoaks). These soaps are from both the UK and abroad. We are hoping this will benefit us when we go on to deciding how we want our trailer to be. We hope to use these trailers as inspiration and as a guide as to how to make our trailer successful.

Home And Away
Trailer from 1991:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJbfUUADxQ
- The colour and quality is very different to the 2008 trailer as expected
- There is a narrator over the trailer
- No music
- Camera work is very basic
- Storyline seems plain
- No real drama with tension is shown
- Lies and secrets seems main issue
- based around the village area
Trailer from 2008:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX5hyur0rjc
- No speech
- Tension music throughout whole trailer
- Music creates an atmosphere for the audience as well as emphasising the acting
- Camera works are alot more advanced, under water shots
- Death, lies, injuries, weapons
- No love, happiness etc
- cliff hangers
- based around the sea
Evaluation
From this we can see how through technology, the trailers have changed, this can also have influence on the story lines and how different plots have become more popular amongst soaps and dramas overtime, with what is more accepted and common in society today.
How analysing trailers has helped us progress...
Analysing trailers has definitely helped us and guided us into making decisions about our trailer. Some of us have compared previous trailers to more modern ones and others have focused on one trailer. It was noticed that we usually see trailers for soaps when there will be a huge life changing event on that soap. for example, the Neighbours trailer was advertising the death of a loved character and the Emmerdale trailer was advertising the return of a character. Trailers are modern and according to their time period. This is done through the technology used, the music and the storylines advertised.
