Remake Advert

Upon discovering that the exam board is allowing copyright (with permission) within our coursework we have decided to remake an existing soap advert for our preliminary task instead of creating one completely on our own. This way we will understand conventions of existing adverts, that will help with our actually final coursework piece, whilst also learning how to deal with the camera equipment. After searching on you tube we have found the following advert that we feel would help us to remake.

Remake Advert - Eastenders




We have decided to use this clip as the main role in the advert is a woman and we are planning to use a woman in the main role in our own ad. I also like the close up shots, and focus angles that will be helpful to practise with. There is simple editing between the shots of the character "Sam" and clips of her family, that we can again practise using our new editing software with. Soap story lines are often dramatic, as this one is featuring the return of a sexually provocative character and therefore we have decided to include a controversial storyline. Although not compulsory we both thought it would be helpful for our filming skills to practise! I'll keep you updated with our progress!
