Influence from other trailers

During the reasearch for our soap opera I have come across alot of scenes and clips from existing trailers for soaps and series that I would like to recreate in my own soap opera trailer.
Below are the full adverts and stills of my favourite bits that I would like to recreate and make work for my own soap:

1. Hollyoaks 'messy' trailer is what our idea is originally based on. We like the idea of the bouncy music and a party in a derelict building however on more research we preferred the darker theme that skins offered us.
We particularly like this shot of a girl kissing another boy,  the 'dirty' look she gives to another girl clearly shows a love triangle story within a matter a moments. Below is the full trailer.


2. Another Hollyoaks trailer we really liked was the 'Enchanted' 2012 trailer, it was very surreal and kept us engaged through out.  Here is the trailer below: 

We love this scene of letting the lanterns off in the sky.
3.  Skins 'Breathe Me'. Although this isn't a real trailer it has been very well done, and a particular scene we would love to recreate is the crabbing shot of the bed to the skins character 'Freddie' opening his eyes. Below is the entire 'trailer' and a screen shot of the panning shot.

4. Below are some screen shots from lots of the different skins trailers from all the different series, some shots we'd like to recreate and some we purely like as they are well done.
We love this running up the hill scene and would like to recreate it at one point.

We like the bed scene again.

I like this idea to end our trailer and promote when it might be on; something falling on the floor that sums up the entire trailer.

We would like to recreate this shot, the dark lighting and the characters running in.

  1. You've clearly spent a great deal of time looking for inspiration in other trailers and you have come up with some really good ideas. I can see how you've adapted them in your finished product.
