Our First Storyboards

We thought that the most important way to begin our soap trailer was to create a view from the audience's perspective. As a result we upkept this to allow the audience to feel that the soap was new and they were arriving and creating relationships with characters immeadiately.

We thought it was important to reflect as many storylines as possible and support Propps theory by creating character functions and making the audience feel comfortable with each location.

Our storyboards were a group effort. At the first stage we decided to write down all the shots that we thought we needed. We didnt decide on an order because we thought it would work better if we captured the footage before hand to decide which shots worked when put next to each other. However we did decide on most of the editing techniques. We looked at certain extracts from soap trailers and decided that it was vital to use as many cuts as possible. Therefore the use of cuts in are trailer was very high because we wanted to reflect the soap trailer layout.
