Characters

Characters
My soap opera trailer will feature both genders, and will use stereotypical characters of teenagers within a setting such as a college or school.

For example:
sporty person,
a girly girl,
a rebel,
a young loved - up couple,
a geek,
a gay,
a bully/ or someone 'ruff' - fighting

I will show these stereotypes by the use of stereotypical actions.
Such as:
sporty person - kicking a football, or playing some sort of sport
girly girl - surrounded by boys, or appling make-up
a rebel - smoking or doing drugs
a yound loved-up couple - kissing passionatly
a geek - sat in a toilet, looking at work sheets
a gay - laughing and joking
a bully - causing fights and being aggressive

Synopsis & Animatric

My soap opera will be set in Hull nowadays, and will be about the life and struggles that the people have in Hull. It will be mainly about teenagers in Hull and will be set in a college or school.
My trailer will show the setting, by an establishing shot, then i will show clips of the characters from clips that would be in the whole soap opera, then after showing these, i will then do freeze frames of the characters which will allow me to introduce the characters by name using non diegetic text. I also plan to have theme music of my own, which needs to be recognisable and catchy for a soap opera.
