Meeting Notes
Claire found a selection of music, which we could use within our trailer. All
three of us listened and gave our opinions. We all agreed that ‘standing in the
way of control’ the gossip soulwax remix was our favorite.
From looking at our Ancillary product Analysis when evaluating the exemplar
work we decided to ‘repeat’ (Steve Neale) their idea of making the soap logo as
a road sign and our location is also a name of a road.
As a group we went through who had the props or who could source them.
Within our props table we listed who would provide them out of us three girls.
This makes sure we are equally all taking part with responsibility and wont be
missing any props during films.
Actions from the meeting
We aim to continue to look for songs which we could possible use
We will look at waterloo road and take ideas from the program as it is also set
within a school

Instead of just filming at the school we are also going to use somebody’s house
for a scene so it is more like a soap and not teen drama set in a school such as
waterloo road

Agenda:
1. What character roles would we include
Meeting Notes
We think stereotypical popular characters should be included such as the hero
and villain.
Watching other soap trailers a good way to show theirs character roles in s
shot space of time, is through facial expression and tone of voice.
We discussed if we could include a twist within the trailer to intrigue the
audience, but we are still undecided what this could be
Actions from the meeting
Think of an interesting twist, which would be unexpected
Assign the character roles to the characters which we have already decided on

Agenda:
1. Unexpected plot
Meeting Notes
We have decided that the affair between a teacher and pupil will end in an
unexpected pregnancy. This would be very shocking and unexpected if this
happened in real life, so should be surprising for the audience watching the
soap. We thought this would be a good plot because soaps tend to include very
dramatic, worse case situations for the character.
Actions from the meeting
We have made a props list as part of out preproduction work, but we need
discuss who will source each of the props. This is important, as props will
make the scenes more realistic.
