Comic Strip Soap
The first thing after I picked the comic strip was to write the script. I erased the speech bubbles that were already there and wrote my own to make them more appropriate to a soap.
Using a camera and a tripod I then filmed each scene trying to use different camera movements, angles and shot types. I tried to use lots of different camera movements (ie the fast zoom and a pan accross the screen,) but there are not many different shot types or angles, therefore this would be an improvement for future.
Editing on Adobe Premiere Elements 8 was something I had never used before so I spent a while playing around with it and learning how to use it properley.
I used diegetic sound in my comic strip soap in the form of dialogue for the characters. I recorded this seperately in a quiet room so not to get any background noise and I learnt how to add this in over the top afterwards.
After I had everything in the right order and I was finished editing everything together I decided to add a 'Previously on..' title card banner. I added non diegetic music to the beginning which gives the connotation of an upbeat, happy soap which ties in with the name 'the suburbs' which is an idealic lifestyle to what would be the target market of my soap. (probably women in their early thirties.)
To improve I would re-shoot the comic strip because you can see the computer screen sometimes and the camer shakes and it isn't smooth when the camera moves.
