Music

Ideas for the music for our soap trailer:



We wanted a song that was quite modern in order to fit our young audience, we also wanted a song that was catchy and had a fast pace so that it fit with the style of our soap programme. 

We chose the 4th song on Non-Copyrighted Music Part 1-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMIDONPtCUE

Evidence of filming


These photographs show our location that we filmed as well as the different camera angles and shots that we included in our filming. 



This photograph shows how we set up the equipment to use it accurately and effectively. 




These photographs show another location that we filmed. It also shows some of the characters that are in our soap trailer.

Characters in our soap trailer

This character is a teenager who is pregnant; she represents the young audience and demonstrates realism. This character would appeal to many young people as they may be able to connect to this character and engage in what they are going through.

This character is stereotypical of a 'thug'. He is a representation of a bully as his dark clothes connote fear and power. The other characters may see him as an enemy and the audience would recognise his characteristics perhaps in bullies in their own society. 

These characters represent a range of age. The girl is quite young whereas the grand parents are old. 

These characters represent the beginning of a new life; young mums will be able to identify with these characters. 

These characters represent a love triangle. This is the most common problem with teenagers, therefore most of the demographic will be able to relate to these characters the easiest.

Script: End voice over

For our end voice over we wanted a voice over that was quite powerful; leaving an impression on the audience's mind. We also needed the voice over to introduce the name of the soap as well as establishing it as brand new. It also needed to have which channel the soap was going to be broadcasted on.

Our idea for our end voice over:

"How would you survive a new life? Conway, coming soon to BBC1"


We chose 'how would you survive a new life?' as our strapline as it engages the audience and gets them involved in the basis of the new soap programme. All the characters are effectively starting a new life, which is evident in the soap trailer, and therefore we wanted the audience to think about how they would react to a new life.
