1. The ways in which this screen grab of my media product uses conventions of a real media products is from the costumes of teens in this certain storyline of drug addiction. This is a convention of a soap trailer as it is showing the struggles and pressure that teens deal with. This is a typical aspect of a soap trailer as it is dramatizing situations that most teens go through.
2. This screen shot has the conventions of a real media product by the use of camera angle. The camera has been set to a close up. This helps draw attention to the storyline of the scene in action. After the woman says farewell to her husband you wonder why she so hastily locks the door. It is later evident in the last part of this scene that she is having an affair as she greets another man at the back door to the house. This is a typical aspect of a soap trailer as it is allowing the audience to interpret the storyline as it gradually unfolds, but as the trailer leaves it as a cliffhanger the audience is drawn in to find out more.
3. This screen shot of a figure knocking at the door is also a convention of a real media product. The silhoette of the man is too dark to make out who it could be. This is often done in soap trailers as it keeps the audience thinking who the person is as they are unable to view the persons face. This is a typical aspect of a soap trailer as it wants the viewer to think who this person could be, and normally when there face is revealed the audience will be shocked to find out who it really is.
4. The ways in which this screen grab uses conventions from a real media product is that it is introducing us to a character. This is a typical convention of a real media product as it shows the audience what that characters personality is like and what role they will play for the rest of the programme.
5. This screen grab uses conventions of a real media product by the use of titles. In real media products for soap trailer there is often titles giving quick words that detail the storylines of the soap. The title already suggests what is happening in the storyline that is about to be shown. But by the use of a question mark it makes us question if that is what actually is going to happen. This convention of a real media product challenges the use of the title being another guideline into what the storyline is about. This aspect is commonly seen in soap trailers as if there is no dialogue andjust the backing track it is another prompt to the audience on what could happen in the storyline.
6. This screen grab uses conventions of a real media product by the use of camera angles. The camera angle that is set for this shot is a match on action shot. The older lady walk towards the camera with a rather stern menacing expression on her face. This uses forms from a real media product as you question her intentions from the earlier shot of her spiking her husbands drink.
7. This screen grab shows the convention of a real media product being the shot reverse shot angle. Not only does this shot use shot reverse shot but it also allows the audience to see the social issues that are dealt with in the soap. This social issue outlines underaged drinking. The use of shot reverse shot allows us to view the conversationg taken place. By the use of the camera angle being over the shoulder and viewing the teens putting pressure on that individual it makes the teen being pressurised seem very vunerable. the body language they use in this screen grab i also typical of a convetion for a real media product as it helps stereotype what kind of people thety are.
8. This shot shows the drinks bottle being pushed away as the girl who was being pressured into drinking it refuses and it falls to the ground. This shot is typical for a convention in a real soap trailer as it is the ultimatum that she has refused to let these people bully her into drinking. The bottle rolls away like an incident is about to take place with the teenagers. This a convention in a real media product as it shows the refusal in a social issue which will make the situation more of a problem causing the drama in the soap opera.
9. This screen grab is a typical convention of a real soap trailer as it has the bbc one logo, the title of the soap, the date and time at the end of the trailer. This is a convention of a real media product as from research i did most of the trailers end with a shot giving details on the soaps screening time. This is done for the uses and gratification theory information element as it inform the viewer on necessary information about the soap. This shot at the end of the trailer also has a voiceover reading out what is said in the frame. The voiceover is done by a female as from research for my target audience females are normally the main audience for soap operas.
