Initial Soap Opera Ideas

Me and my group came together and discussed "first initial ideas" of what we would like to make our new soap trailer about. We have discussed the themes and possible characters we would like to consider.

Me and my group spoke about how we wanted to create a "Glamorous" themed soap because there is a space on the market for this as there isn't a "High Class" soap out there, we would based our glamorous ideas on programs such a "Footballers wives", "The Hills" and "The only way is Essex". 

We would like a catchy theme tune to add into our trailer and want it to represent the modern lifestyle of our Soap. 

As our soap is going to be High Class we want to add in things such as Posh Cars, Big houses, Bars and Clubs to create a young modern social life for our characters.

The characters we spoke about having were:

Business man

Badboy

 Young couple

Daddy's girl

Sugar daddy

Drug dealer

                                                                        Homosexual

The business man, bad boy and couple are all very typical characters but we thought about a Homosexual character, Daddy's girl, Sugar Daddy and Drug dealer because these aren't the typical characters you would find in a soap, we would like to challenge this and take a risk with these characters so because they would fit in with out "Modern Soap Opera" that we are trying to create.
