Researching Soaps - Plan For Group

In order to gain a better understanding of the conventions of soap operas and what is required for an effective trailer, as a group we decided to research the following soaps:

1.    Eastenders

2.    Hollyoaks

3.    Coronation Street

4.    Emmerdale

As our group consists of four members, we decided to split the research task between up. The plan is as follows:

Each group member will produce research and analysis of the title sequence, trailer, and episode for one of the above soaps which we will all then put onto our group blog to see what conventions have been used for each of the soaps.

Each of us then chose which soap to base their research on:

1.    Eastenders - Dena

2.    Hollyoaks - Katie

3.    Coronation Street – Myself (Varsha)

4.    Emmerdale - Tansu
