Reviewing East Enders (Trailers)


East Enders has taken a new a new photo for the introduction zooming out shot. I decided it would be a great idea if i show the old picture and the new photograph. The new photo looks bright and more colourful than the old photo Over the years east enders has been seen as a dark and gloomy but yet very popular soap were there was never a happy family, i think the reason for the new bright photograph is to show that the tables may be turning and the audiences might finally see a happy family or a couple together without any problems.
While reviewing Trailers for East Enders I've realised that the longest duration for the trailers is mostly under a minute unless if the trailer for the episode is for a character leaving walford or a new character coming into the set. I also noticed that if the trailer is aimed at one main character the duration for the trailer will likely be 45 seconds or less, and not many story lines are shown in the trailer. Some trailer show character in a different location for example a changing room or a stage with lights not on the Walford set.
The trailers I've have watched are going to help us get some ideas which me and my group can develop, also in the trailers i watched i noticed at the enders there's always a black background and red writing saying coming soon, and there's sometimes no subtitles, it just get straight in to the action...
Overall from East Enders the information i analysed is that our trailer doesn't need to be longer than more than 120 seconds long. we should make it understandable and simple but not basic . Also in East enders the audience get shown titles in the middle after each scene, i think we should develop this idea as this made me understand what was going on in the trailer so this might help out audiences understand what were are trying to show.

  1. This is gooooodd
    im actually glad Eastenders has changed the picture about time-its a bit too ancient even though people still stick to it. :)

    Yeah i think i noticed that in Hollyoaks too, i agree with you when you say that our trailer doesnt have to be longer or more than 120 seconds. Less is more :):)
