Treatment for chosen Soap Opera idea

Soap Opera – The Princes Court

Characters – Characters develop the ability to keep their target audience interested by playing a role that many people may be able to relate to. Matriarch’s/ Patriarch’s will be a key focus to some very important characters.  At this stage of pre-production, names are not for definite as there are an infinite amount of possibilities so they will be confirmed during future group meetings.

Series Plot/ Story-lines – Ideas have been raised of: Teenage pregnancy, relationships (love and friends), high expectations (success and failure), drug abuse, crime (rape, arson, murder?) and finally education.

Synopsis/ Outlook - Set in a rural multicultural London council estate. There’s a strong focus on teenage lifestyles and social contemporary themes will be used to show this. To engage the audience, the soap will show progression and developments of characters with themes of loss, love, tragedy, happiness, and success of a wide cast of characters. To accompany all of this drama there will be iconic location references such as a pub, corner shop, park etc to help the audience identify with everyday life scenarios.

Screening/ Time – E4, 9-10PM, Monday Wednesday Friday. E4 shows much young teenage drama such as 90210, Glee and One Tree Hill so it would be appropriate to target our audience at the hub of their interests.
