The first skill I gained from producing this trailer was learning to use thecameras. When I began shooting, I had a play around with the camera first in order to get used to it. Learning to use the zoom function and remembering to pause between shots was difficult, yet I still manage to do it.
Throughout the trailer, I used a vaiety of shots. I did not use an establishing shot, when I should have, however recognising I didn't use this shot will remind me to use it in my actual soap trailer. I used a pull focus, which worked extremely well, looking very proffessional.
My trailer meets soap opera conventions in many ways. I have used the typical shot types, strong familiar storylines in which people can relate to, and title cards which give hints to the audience about the soap.
If I were to shoot the footage again, I would take more time and care with the production as the scenes didn't flow as well as I wanted them too. I would of also recorded the sound maybe differently or filmed in a less noisy area due to background noise.
During the production of this trailer, using iMovie benefitted me a great amount because this was the software I will be using for my actual soap trailer. I became familiar to the software very quickly.
In order to upload the video to YouTube, I was required to make an account. I then simply uploaded it from iMovie.
