We chose the staff room because it looked the most like a cafe and had a few people in so it set the scene well. We used camerawrok well twoards the beginning as a 'follow was being used to the show a shot which established the scene.

Fliming :

In general I think the filiming went well. We did a couple of lines of the scene at a time to ensure we got the task done quickly and efficiently. However, the only problem we had was being in the same postion when we restarted for example where our arms were etc. and this is unfortuantely evident on the trailer


I decided to use this as part of inspiration in making my own trailer. It clearly demonstrates the conventions you are likely to find in a trailer and I feel all camera shots aare executed perfectly. It begins with an establishing shot of the sqaure to clearly portray to the audeience where it is set and it works very well

The trailer then goes on to create an element of suspense with the non-diegetic music. I think this is used excelently to create a 'western' feel to it. I will now look to emulate some of the techniques and conventions within my own soap trailer
