ROUGH PLAN FOR TRAILER

To decide what would be in our trailer, we had to have a rough plan for a first episode of our soap if we were to make it. We decided that this first episode would have the 2 village youths, Kirk and Dan, they would be trying to get served in the pub, Marris rejects them and makes them angry. They have an argument which results in Marris insulting Kirks much loved dog, Mick. Kirk then punches Marris and the two boys flee with the dog.

 Beryl goes to Marris's aid, and he finally admits that he needs help with his everyday problems.

From this rough storyline we have created, making the plan for our trailer became an easier job. After much thought we decided that the trailer would include Marris on the floor, after being punched, and the trailer would follow his flashbacks taking the audience back to some of his happier times.

We thought the use of flashbacks would make our trailer exciting and dramatic.  This means that we can get alot of shots of the area the soap is going to be set in in and different characters in a fairly short amount of time.  It also means we will not be restricted to only one area of the soap setting and, as its the introductory trailer for our soap, we want to show the audience as much as possible to entice them to watch the full soap episode.
