The third clip was of my parents. When creating our Soap trailer it was important that we used a variation of age ranges in order to make our product feel realistic as if we only used one particular age it would feel fake and would be dismissing codes and conventions of other Soaps.
In order to get the short clip to look effective it was important that we filmed more than was actually needed, this was so that when we came to edit our whole piece together we had more to work with. This way if you have bits that look uneffective and arent correct you are able to delete them and still be left with a decent amount of film. Its always better to film more than you actually need. Therefore when filming this clip to begin with we filmed it a few times in different postions. At first it was filmed in the back corner of the pub. Admittdly the lighting of this clip is very dark and doesnt quite give off the overall affect that we wanted to portray. So because of how dark it was inside the pub we decided to take the filming outside the pub where there are a few picnic benches designed for where the smokers can sit. We then filmed a short bit outside where my parents were having a casual drink and conversation. Along with filming them using a close up shot we also stepped across the road and produced a long shot of them having there drink. This way by producing different types of shot it gave us variation to work with so that we could choose the shot that fitted best and worked well as a whole.
Essentially this clip is representing key codes and conventions of a Soap Opera. It represents the social community and general meeting point which features in the majority of Soaps that we researched into.
