We get the narrative of the storyline right from the first shot of the trailer, we see that Warren is very much disliked by the girls of Hollyoaks and they are all out to get him. He is presented as a bad guy at the beginning as we see he has been kissing different girls and got one of them pregnant. We do not feel any sympathy towards him however the very last shot is of him crying, he looks vulnerable, his last words are "I'm sorry". Dialogue helps us understand the storyline. He is described by the girls as 'Dangerous'. Costume gives us an idea of what is going on, in this case it is Christmas time and at one point there is a wedding. Props include Christmas cards, Christmas hats and Christmas decorations which help us identify what time of year it is. Lots of characters are introduced in this soap and we feel different emotions for each character.
Soundtrack is fairly slow and calm; there are no lyrics as the dialogue of the characters gives us the information we need. There is a voice over at the end informing us what time it will be on T.V and on what channel. We see a channel ident at the end of the trailer along with a website and name of the soap and the time of appearance. Trailer is kept short and editing is short and catchy and gives enough information to the audience on what to expect. Most characters appear in this trailer and we see that they are all involved in one problem, which they want to sort out. We do not see what happens to Warren or anyone’s. This creates suspense and persuades the audience to want to watch the soap.
What we decided to do was keep our soap trailer different, using different conventional ideas and making it into one isn't always going to work, so what we decided to do was first compare our story line with different story lines, this particular trailer didn't give us alot of inspiration.Posted By U3.TV
