These are notes I made on a 30second Hollyoaks trailer.
Hollyoaks trailer notes
Title card- aqua background, purple and white name- feminine colours, also young, font is female
male and female sexuality symbols showing what hollyoaks is about
Sponsored by Nikon- boys technology
18ish girl in risqué club, light coming from left and right- making interesting shadows
starts with reaction shot, expression shows something has gone wrong
Black gloved hand opening door at low angle, pan up. Pauses at door- not suppose to be there
older than rest of cast- doesn’t fit with theme; audience knows he is odd one out
Student halls, standing in front of window, light from another window seen- remade shapes
Half face in shadow, two points of light, glasses and grey hair show same older guy from earlier
story lines linked- they anchor each other
can tell from the way younger one is turning to face other character that they know each other
pull focus
Outside- nature daylight
peaks and troughs of trailer- excitement, suspicion, “soft + cuddly” constantly changing mood and tone
Point of view of audience sat at table next to male character, feels like you are in the scene
high angle shots,
‘ka-ching’ odd sense of style- stereotyping gay character
pan across scene, focus in as another character walks past
sense of uniform
Big close up – at eye level- top of head cut off, see facial expression and eyes clearly
light creates angles and suspicion
Over the shoulder shot- reverse angle shot, almost in big close up, standing extremely closely- intense emotion
Last title card- channel, brand, twitter feed (hash tag), day, time, everyone knows the channel 4 symbol.
grey and white- slightly more masculine.
