In lesson we looked at the conventions and forms of soaps. With this list we then (in our group) discussed possible conventions we'd like to keep, others which we'd like to develope and ones which we would discard.
Our ideas so far:
-Realism is crucial
- Ecentric characters
- 'Big Brother' soap - bizare characters in reality
- Viewing time is not crucial as with the internet and sky plus intelligent viewers can view it at any time that suits their leisure.
- Relevent to the year (eg, finacial year)
- Include more ethnic groups (possible sub titles)
- Documentary style (as similar to dramas such as desperete housewives)
- More depth than a love triangle
- 'ghetto twist'
- Keep strong narratives with gossip
- show more of a minority lifestyle within the mainstream (eg homeless people)
- Two sides of life in one location
- Have quirky camera work to appear glamorous/stylised
- Show glamorous lifestyle and reality
By next tuesday we should have a complete record of questionaires (which I, Zoe will do)
Everyone should do atleast one trailer and title sequence analysis (independently) we shall feed this back to eather either over the blogs or on Tuesday.
I hope people can begin posting pitches/treatments/general ideas about characters/storylines/storyboards etc.
If everyone posts all there ideas then i can write up a final treatment.
