Hollyoaks preliminary task

Paul leans over Mercedes, dominates the shot so implies ‘nothing you do can push me away’

Mercedes at front of shot looking into the distance saying ‘I've never seen a man, a man so obsessed, obsessed with me’’

Cut shot in the middle of Jacqui speaking of Paul, watching Mercedes and her boyfriend. This implies Paul is stalking Mercedes and therefore could be dangerous.

Jacqui who is in the background, not focused on then says ‘scary’

Shot of Jacqui talking to somebody who then says ‘The girl needs help’ in a way that sounds desperate.

The scene then cuts to Jacqui in what seems to be an office crawling on the floor, implying that she should not be there and is looking for something important. We then see Jacqui routing through someone's draws in the office, this implies that this is Pauls and that Jacqui knows something.

Scene then cuts to Mercedes checking her phone with 5 missed calls off Jacqui implying that Jacqui has found something and therefore feels Mercedes is in dander.

Scene of Mercedes and Paul, Mercedes- more than anyone you get me’‘Last night you confided in your deepest darkest secret in me. I love you’Mercedes- ‘i..’ Paul- ‘say it’

Scene of Jacqui rushing as if in an emergency, she says ‘its mercy she's in danger’ and run to the door where we are lead to believe Mercedes and Paul are.

For the soundtrack of our trailer we decided to use the track – not in love by the crystal castles as we felt this

track built tension but also the lyrics fitted the storyline. I felt it worked really well.

Rejected images

Rejected because characters laughing and talking, wrong positions, doesn't tell narrative

Rejected because of wrong positioning that doesn't tell narrative and characters are too far apart

Rejected because eyeline doesn't match and wrong positions

Chosen imageI chose this image as I thought it told part of the narrative, i also thought it was a good image because of the way the actors were stood and how Tim’s eyeline meets the corner of rowans.
