The trailer

Now all we are waiting for is the voice over and just a final few touches on the end of the soundtrack then we can put the trailer onto dvd!!!!

Our Soap Logo

We looked at the soap opera logos that are originals and all of them such as eastenders and cronationstreet all have views of the area. for example eastenders has the map in the background and everyone recognises this. so we looked at shops of the valley and choose this one as it fitted well. We then added the logo and bbc logo as we chose bbc as our tv channel broadcaster.

Tv Magazine

We have completly finished the tv magazine now and we both have worked hard to make it look the way it does we lookd at several different styles and tried all sorts of different techniques on the magazine. But we felt that this looked the best. It isnt too packed but is full enough to look realaistic. We tried to keep to the same colour themes and styles so that it wasnt to random and didnt look too strange.

Billboard

We reasearched alot about billbords so that we could get ours to fit the brief.
Billboard or 24-sheet Movie Posters are usally 106 x 234 inches, we are going to need to scale this down to 18x9 inches, so that it gives the same effect as it would if it was on the side of the road for everybody to see. We are not printing off our billboard any more we are just going to upload it and show it on here.

Finishing touches....

TRAILER
We have finished editing the trailer today and now all we need to do is:
. cut the bbc logo out of an advert to put onto the end of our trailer
. do a voice over or a written slogan and then that is completly finished.
MAGAZINE FRONT COVER
. only have to choose out of two magazine front covers
. to finish with writting on the slogans
BILLBOARD
. have to fill in the billboard with chosen slogan
THEN WE ARE PRINTING THEM BOTH OUT SO THAT WE HAVE HARD COPYS.
THEN WE ARE PRETTY MUCH FINIHSED READY TO HAND IN ON THE DEADLINE OF

TUESDAY 23RD FEBRUARY!!

FINAL TWO....

These are the two final designs that we have chossen to use. WE may change the font colour and thje icons for the other soaps ( for example.. the stocking to another present) but the basic design such as the background and large picture. All we need to do now is to put on all the slogans and other font words.

This morning we worked on editing the piece together... looking at different effects that we can use and now we have started. WE have got the music fitted in and is peicing the footage together. putting shots of the house (the major story line of the couple finding out they are brother and sister) interlincking with other shots of snow and a fire. then once we ahve all the shots together we can edit using effects to bring it all together.

1 month on...

Since my last post alot has changed and developed:
Over the christmas period this was our opertune moment to film lots of footage as it matches our theme of christmas. We had allready filmed our footage from inside the house, so we were just looking at other plots at shots that we could use as most soap trailers never really have just one story line.
We have footage from people in the snow and snowy lanes and feild to a group of people celebrating christmas at the local pub. All of this will help when editing as it will fit in very well.
WE chose "Winterwonderland - Doris Day" for our soundtrack but using the slow tempo version as it would fit better with our trailer.
Now that we have alot of footage we ca get down to the editing.
