Initial Ideas

We sat down as a group and discussed and made mind maps of what makes up a soap opera. We took influence from soaps such as Hollyoaks and Eastenders because of their type of characters within their soaps. We are aiming to include characters such as; a "jack the lad", a pregnant teenager, a family, homosexuals and young couples, to name a select few. We brainstormed some ideas to create our episodes that will lead us directly to our trailer. We decided that due to the villages we live in, it would fit to set it within a village, which is where most soaps are based as this is where people are closest.
