Planning for Soap

Final Script

Coronation Street 50th Tram Crash Trailer (similar products)

Hollyoaks Later Trailer (similar products)



On E4, Title cards are sometimes used on trailers for shows. This hollyoaks later trailer is an example of what i hope to acheive by placing title cards between scenes to keep the attention of the audience.
They work very effectivly as they allow you to use shorter clips which also keeps the audience interested as longer scenes may bore or confuse the audience.
This convention also alsos to create cliffhangers and it will make sure the audience will watch the full episode.

Although Hollyoaks is a soap, this is Hollyoaks Later which isnt shown continuously , therefore it isn't a soap.

Who Killed Archie? Fan made video (similar products)



Even though this video is fan made, as a group we really liked the idea of having 3 different characters all with different motives.
The use of medium close ups and still camera shots show it is a soap. They dont use point of view or panning shots as they cost more to shoot.

Ab Fab best bits (similar products)



When we first started doing research for our soap we really liked the idea of a paradoy as it would be something different and fun to film. Even though Ab Fab is a sitcom we studied how they used ecentric costume and big hair to make the conventions of a sitcome the parody.

Safety Video



We filmed a short video to show we were using a fake rubber knife and fake blood.

Title Sequence for Diamond Street



This is our title sequence we made for our soap. But after researching we found soaps don't use a title sequence so we cut it.
