SOAP OPERA BRIEF

Our soap opera brief for Cherry Gardens:

Welcome to the new era of soap operas...
Cherry Gardens is a soap opera following the dramatic lives of ordinary people living in Great Waltham, 'Essex Village of the Year 2010'.  Experience the day to day lives of your new best friends as they tackle ups and downs, divorces and marriages, relationships and affairs, births and deaths and the overall emotional roller coaster that is Cherry Gardens.

We think this paragraph will capture our audiences attention and imagination. We deliberately made it short and to the point, so our audience would be able to read it quickly without getting bored and hopefully remember most of what they have read so they can tell others of our soap.
We've made a direct link between the characters within the soap and the audience members themselves by stating that they will experience the lives of their new best friends. Meaning for everybody who reads this, they should feel as if they are being directly spoken to, and by doing this we are giving them a connection with the soap, which they probably don't have with other TV shows. We also listed many life events, by doing this, we instantly made it seem like an intriguing soap, and something they will be able to relate their own lives to.
