Name of Soap | Trailer Length | No. of shots |

Emmerdale- Beyond the Grave | 00.30 | 20 |
Through watching soap trailers on YouTube I have found that the average trailer is approximately a minute long. This tells me that our soap opera trailer Bathwood is an appropriate length at just over a minute long, so we have used this short time given to adress factors such as the fact that the soap is new, introduce the characters and give some kind of idea as to what themes the plots consist of.
Shots can vary from using many quickly edited together jump shots, or just a few long lasting shots, depending on whether the effect of the trailer is to build suspense or tension. In our trailer we focused on building suspense opposed to tension as nobody would yet know the characters, so the audience would not hold the emotional bond that would normally help to costitute a tense atmosphere.
