This document summarizes the process of creating a soap opera pilot episode to mimic existing soap conventions. Key details include researching popular soap operas on different channels to determine conventions around storylines, character types, filming techniques, and timeslots. Scenes from EastEnders were mimicked involving a bullying storyline. Research was also done to determine the most viewed channel and timeslot for a new soap. The name of the soap was changed to "Northern Quarter" to reference the region and sound like other soap opera names that reference locations.
