'Eddie Moon' Eastenders introduction trailer
We were told to make a soap trailer about the time I saw the trailer above. I thought it was cleverly done as it showed a new main character's personality with non-digetic music and varying camera angles as the new character 'Eddie Moon' walked down the main market street of the soap. We see other characters reactions to him also through quick camera shots we also see past characters relationships with him from glances and reflections in mirrors, we also see this with his family Michael Moon and Alfie Moon, Alfie happy to see him and Michael angry at him, the reasons to these different relationships with him act as foreboding to whats to come in later episodes.I really liked the idea of the trailer setting being a street where a group etc walk down and also I liked how the trailer uses such clear character representation which i wanted to include in my own trailer. I did find however that as this trailer is just introducing one new character it be hard to apply this idea for the first trailer for a 'new' soap.

Although this trailer is seemingly unconventional I resolved my initial problems with the first trailer when applying it to my own. My initial problem was how to inter grate more than one 'main' character to my narrative. It showed how I could use more than one character successfully with interlinking story lines such as a character walking past another then the camera switching to their story and a range of camera shots.this idea I transpired to my storyboard. The 'Strictly' trailer uses a range of nearby streets and switches to different characters very well so really it just expanded my initial inspiration from the 'Eddie Moon' trailer. My inspiration will likely expand from these trailers but I feel they epitomize my current idea for my soap structure,story and narrative.
