Finished Soap Trailer, 'Nangreave Road'

This is our finished soap trailer of Nangreave Road.

Ancillary Product- Soap Magazine Front Cover Final

After receiving both negative and positive feedback from my soap magazine draft front cover, i chose to use the elements that worked well and produce a new final cover in Adobe Photoshop. I chose a large focal image as the eyes are immediately drawn to it, especially with the striking colours surrounding it. I feel this front cover works a lot more effectively than my draft as it really represents a real soap magazine front cover with all the current conventions.

Ancillary Product- Soap Magazine Front Cover First Draft

Another ancillary product i produced was a soap magazing (tv listings) front cover. This advertises 'Nangreve road'. The main image isnt that of my soap as i felt the image i had used was alot stronger than another i could have used.

Ancillary Product- Soap Billboard Final

Like with the soap magazine front cover, i also chose to produce a more effective billboard advertising our soap 'Nangreave road'. The final billboard and the draft although not that different, i felt this final one worked a lot better. I produced this in Adobe Photoshop and over layed the dominating image with a red transparent filter to echo the BBC ONE institution colours. I increased the image size in this final draft to make sure it is noticeable and dominating under the street sign. I also decreased the sizing of the BBC ONE logo as i felt it was too overpowering in the draft billboard and is now appearing noticeable yet subtle.

Ancillary Product- Soap Billboard First Draft

This shows a possible billboard advertising the new soap 'Nangreave road' i used an image from the actual trailer, then used photoshop to allow me to fade writing and the street sign over. the use of the 'handwriting' and 'notepaper' gives it more of a feeling of the genre.

Photographs From Soap Trailer

These images show the production process of our soap trailer, including our chosen locations and characters.
This photo shows the corridor being used in the final scene in the soap trailer, as its usually relatively empty, it felt appropriate to use for the intense final shots.

 

This image shows the 3 female characters that are present in the soap trailer, in this scene in particular, they are discussing the recent antics of one of their friends/boyfriend.

This is the setting for the drug scene in the trailer for nangreave road. This is outside the college and worked well for the intended nature of the scene.

In order for us to do a 'drug scene' we used sugar in cling film to give the impression that it was real, this gave us something to work with when exchanging the prop with the money during filming. acting as a visual aid for both the audience and the actors/actresses.

This image was taken during the 'drug scene', we were experimenting with different shots and ways to approach the scene.

This was taken during the filming of the main corridor for both the begining of the trailer and the billboard. This enabled us to really get the busy nature of the college which is obviously what we wanted to achieve in our trailer.

This photograph shows the scene when 2 of the male characters discuss what happened on 'saturday night' we used alot of over the shoulder shots when filming this scene as it enabled us to view the reactions of the characters whilst discussing something somewhat awkward.

This is one of the final scenes of the trailer, showing the conflict between the student and the teacher. The positioning of the characters and the shots once again reflect the tension and argumentative nature between the characters, both seeming very strong headed.

BBC

We chose to use the BBC ONE institution as it was linked to similar products i.e. Waterloo Road.
We felt that BBC ONE was the most appropriate institution for 'Nangreave Road'
