Inital Ideas On Our Own Soap Operas

My initial ideas included country based soap as this would make the soap quite and have a nice mainly exterior setting. I would include at least five/ six families that all had different storylines behind them explaining who they are and what sort of personalities they had. For example i might of included a gay marriage therefore different opinions of people within the soap could be revealed and i would include an affair to show who’s feelings for who in the soap are real and who’s are fake. I may include a teenage pregnancy to show how traditions have changed over the years and then maybe a death within the first few episodes to make the characters come out of their shells more. The narrative of my soap opera would be open as it would be an ongoing soap that would always lead to another episode.
I took the idea of a quite country based soap from Neighbours and Emmadale as they are both based in the country and both are fantastic soaps which grab their audiences. I took inspiration from Eastenders for the gay marriage as currently syed and Christian are both trying to get marriage but their family is getting in the way, i liked the idea of doing a teenage pregnancy as currently in Coronation Street there is a young teenage couple who are on their own paying for a flat food etc and the girl Katie is also heavily pregnant.
The target audience for this soap is mainly families but could appeal to many more like students or senior citizens based on the characters preference.
