Evaluation on Coronation Street trailer

What have I learnt

Technologies; use of iMovie as an editing application

I gained a lot of experience of different technologies when I created my own trailer for Coronation Street

•I was able to create a project that I could edit with iMovie, by importing footage on to the programme.•Once I had finished editing I then created a YouTube account so that I could upload my project onto YouTube so that other people could see it and give me feedback on it.•I then embedded my video on to my blogger account

Creativity; how creative were you in the use of the footage?

•I used several techniques to edit the clips, for instance I was able to split clips and delete my unwanted footage to make the trailer short and snappy so that it would attract a wide audience. •Once I had merged my chosen clips together I then adjusted the volume levels of the characters so that I could add sound clips and music, along with that I could extract the audio from selected parts of the videos clip.

Soap opera conventions; how did you make use of them?

In my trailer I used classic soap opera conventions to create a sense of enigma and suspicion to the audience. The short fast pace clips edited together have the same conventions as a soap opera trailer.

I put together a range of camera shots; close ups, two shots and extreme close ups, this was also to help me show emotion.
