Planning: Existing trailers

For the planning part of my task i decided to look at and analyse Made in Chelsea trailers. This would allow me to pick out the codes and conventions of a typical scripted reality trailer and use it on my trailer. I decided to use a Made in Chelsea trailer over a TOWIE trailer as MIC would be closer to the kind of storyline and characters i would be creating. Both shows are exaggerated with costumes but MIC comes across as more sophsticated then TOWIE which i would like to imitate.

The things i was looking for in this trailer were camera shot types,dialogue,costume & make up


The trailer mainly has two narrative, Millie and Sophia talking about her having feelings for Francis, Francis denying something is going on between them and a rumour being spread that Lucia is playing some of the other characters.

Millie - 'You dont know feelings for him do you?'
Sophia - 'I don't really know whats going on in my head at the moment'
Relationships and feelings.
Jamie - 'im sure she's playing the whole of Chelsea' - rumours and deception.
Lucia- 'you don't know anything about me so don't go round spreading stuff about me'
arguememts.

Over the shoulder shot- to show what the characters are seeing, point of view, makes the audience feel like they are in the scene with the characters.
Medium shots- To show some of the location but also show the emotion on the characters face.
Close up- for the audience just to concentrate on the emotion on the characters face.

Girls- hair looks perfect but flawless, look tanned, and makeup also looks perfect but flawless and effortless. Dresses and jewellry are also wore.
Boys- Hair styled, look tanned, leather jackets, shirts.

After watching the trailer i took notice that most of the dialogue is bases on relationships and girls and boys feelings for one another. Arguing and deception also seems to be a convention. As this is what their target audience (teenage girls and boys) would be interested in. Their costumes also make the audience want too look like them, which is another convention of Made in Chelsea. The trailer uses a variety of different camera shots for various reasons such as to show emotion.
