Chair and Book
By using a chair in our trailer, we displayed to the audience a domestic view of what the actual soap episode would look like if we were to create a full soap.
The chair also conveys to the audience the importance and authority the character sat in the chair has, to own have her own chair which others are not allowed to sit in.
The book the character is holding, connotes to the audience the intelligence the character has and her wide knowledge of life.
Pub bench and beer
These props help build certain scenes within the trailer by connoting that the characters are outside a pub drinking, this is to make it easier for viewers to associate them being at the pub without showing the pub logo or establishment name. By showing a pub in our trailer an characters drinking together, we displays to the audience a sense of togetherness and community within the village.
Dog
The dog we used was a Labrador, when done this to connote that the youths were trying to be someone they're not and that it was their own choice to turn out; they weren't brought up that way. The dog breed 'staf' is stereotypically associated with "chavs" (council house and violence), and we didn't want to stereotype this much so we decided to use a different breed.
Although the dog gave our trailer a good outcome, it was quite ambitious of us to try and work an animal, so unlike humans, they do not take direction well.
