I have joined the group now which is really exciting and I am enjoying it alot and I am growing to really like the task!!

I have correlated the scores that I have got from handing out the soap questionnaire that Holly made. I have found that the storylines that most people wanted to see in our trailer was wedding propsal, arguments and missing persons.The things that people like about soaps is their connection to real life and also that there is some characters that the people can relate to. And the things that people do not like is that they try to do to many things and storylines at once and also that the things that are going on are sometimes too extreme. I also found that most people watched soap on their own and on the internet.
The most common areas that are wanted are a woodland area and also a housing estate or a street. The characters that are wanted to be seen are the Heros, Joker, Gossip, Troubled Teen and also an attractive male/female. In the trailer they wanted to see a couple of storylines references but not too many. Also the music should be brash and noisy. They would like too see the soap on a Tuesday, Thursday and a Sunday at 9 till 9.30. And the name should be a reference to where the place is set.

Based on the findings of the questionnaires we have decided on the narrative. We have decided that it will start with a missing person poster and then flash to a proposal and before this a word will flash up like Sadness and we will have different emotive words before the different scenes. The person who has just propsed is the dad to a 14 year old girl who has run away and he goes into her room and  starts to cry and a close up is then on a picture in the background of the girl and her mum who have split up. We then decided there would be a couple with a pregnancy test and it is positive and they are relly happy as they have been trying for ages. There is then the missing girl is first introduced and she is walking through a wooded area with a bag and her bedding. There is then an attractive person who walks down the street of where the drama is set. The second to last scene is of a search party looking for the missing girl and then last is the missing who looks behind her and then the screen goes black and you hear a scream. As we had the lesson off on Monday a drew out the storyboard as my task.
