In every soap episode props are used to create realism. We wanted ours to do the same. In our opinion, making a soap that has some realistic features and storylines is what decides whether or not it is deemed successful. Within our soap trailer we tried to use many realistic props that would usually be associated with the younger generation. these included a mobile phone, drugs and betting slips.
Mobile Phone (Samsung Galaxy Note):
Nearly all young people possess a mobile phone. in soaps, mobile phones are commonly used to interlink storylines involving two or more sets of different characters. we liked this idea and decided to incorporate it within our soap. The mobile phone we used in our soap was a Samsung Galaxy Note. We used this as it was fairly up-to-date and had a large 5.2" viewing screen meaning we could show the messages on screen giving the illusion the viewer is the one receiving the message.
Betting Slip from Ladbrokes:
In the planning for our trailer, we come to the conclusion that some young adults are experiencing money issues. As a group we felt that the best way to show this was an issue in our soap was by the use of Ladbrokes, the betting shop. To show that the best was void or a loss we asked the character to look angered whilst throwing the slip to the floor. We felt that once we had edited the raw footage this worked extremely well.
Drugs:
When creating our storylines, thinking of realism, we decided we should use a storyline involving drugs as this is one that most teenagers or young adults would have been in contact with in some point of there life's. to really drive home the drug deal we searched through the effects to find one that would emphasis it well and decided on a slow motion effect to work along side the close up we used during the filming phase.
