Hollyoaks Promo
When making the movie, a lot of the shots didn't work and the actors/actresses weren't very sure what they were doing. This was shown throughout the footage, for example - the intense scenes actors weren't very comfortable with getting close and intimate. Overall, most of the footage was good quality and blended well with the song.
The songs main lyrics:
There's nowhere to run
No place you can go
Nowhere you can hide
Where you won't be found
There's no place on earth
Where you could lay low
Wherever you are
I will track you down
There's no way in hell
I will let you leave
Let you just get up
And walk out on me
There's no way on earth
Hell would have to freeze
More than twice before
I will let you go

giving the impression of Mercedes stalker, this adds very nicely also at each beat a new font heading is shown.

Who are they
traditionally aimed at?
It was traditional for the husband to go out to work and for the wife to stay at home and look after the house and the children in the early 50’s. Most of these daytime dramas and soaps were aimed at entertaining the housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the washing.
Why were they nick-named ‘soaps’?
A lot of the time the companies selling washing powder would advertise their products at times when these dramas were on, andsometimes those companies would even sponsor the soaps, giving the nick-name ‘Soaps’.
What is the longest running British soap and when did it start?
Coronation Street, it was first aired in 1960.

NOTES ON HOLLYOAKS TRAILER
- Hollyoaks is now sponsered by nikon, money, use phone and camera to create as a new audience.
- One storyline, two sides through Jaqui and Mercedes
- Two shot, Pauls face dominates the frame which quickly gets the realtionship across to the audience.
- Takes ups more than half the frame, dominant in relationship. In flat/house windows personal belongings, window light and clothes, non verbal communication.
- His face is in focus, his eyes are on hers and body language facing her. She is blurred you can’t see all her face.
- Trapping Mercedes ‘’Nothing you can do will push me away.’’ She isn’t meeting his eyes shes looking down, displaying negative body language, her hair is covering the other half of her face.
- ‘’Ive never seen a man so..... obessed, with me’’ Following the same character but different place, Kitchen with Jaqui.
- Establishing shot, Mercedes in focus, Jaqui out of focus. This shows where they are in relation to eachother. Mercedes facial features show and portray confusion. She is now in focus and dominates the frame.
- Yellow light means its not daylight, therefore in a house of flat – Softer light makes her feel safer.
- Paul in a different location, watching Mercedes and Riley.
- Pauls point of view – Linked to his obsession – proving the point.
- Music sounds like heartbeat, creating suspense.
- ''The girl needs help.''
- 3 shots of Jaqui, Crawling, taking something, then shocked.
- Apperance changes, blinds, intray, decor, plug sockets, filling cabinet, clock, PLACE OF WORK.
- 5 seconds gives three weeks worth of script – making the audience want to watch the show.
- Next scene, five missed calls from Jaqui, the audience understands by looking ov er the shoulder of the character, without a point of view shot.
- Jaqui is ringing again and Mercedes is with Paul, the ringing still echoes in the background to prove shes ignoring Jaqui.
- Paul is above Mercedes in the shot to show his dominance, she appears vunerable, ‘I love you’ ‘I...’ ‘Say it’ - Nurse in the background, In the hospital rushing out of his place of work saying ‘It’s mercy shes in danger’. (Jaqui running into flat.)
