Saul-Still Images Annotations of 'Trailer so far Empire Avenue'

We are now approaching the final stages of editing, Because of this i have decided to annotate the effectiveness of specific elements of our Trailer.

Above : I liked Demitris choice of shot. The use of Medium shots/ Close ups are common within the soap opera genre in order for the producers to capture the full expression of the characters Face.
Above: the image here i think is effective as demitri has excercised the Rule of third in order to ensure the character was in frame.



Above: The use of close-ups within this shot as it captures the full facial expression of the character whilst enabling the audience to identify exactly what it is the character is doing.








Above this is particularly effective because the slightly angular positioning of the camera creates the image that the train is passing a passenger who has just exited the train.

Above: I like the way that this establishing shot emcompases a sense of community within the train station from grown level. The choice of shot looks as if the camera plays the eyes of a pedestrian waiting for the oncoming train.

Above within many soaps this specific us of over the shot is often common however i do feel as if the camera could have been lower in order to ensure the male characters sholders were in proportion to the female characters body. However this use of Sot revearse shot in the form of an over the sholder shot was effective in capturing the full emotion on the characters faces.

The use of these three captions within the Editing i feel were sucessful in enabling the audience to identify exactly what is going on within the narrative of the soap without giving too much away.
