The Planning Process

These are our storyboards we created prior to the filming day, organisation was key as we had limited time to get all the nessecary shots in order to make the trailer run smoothly during the editing process.

 These are the scripts wrote on planning day so we could catch the one lines needed for the trailer. We needed to emphasise the lines and these would indicate the main storylines of the series.

We wrote a list of the conventional storylines used in soaps to attrach my demographic. Doing this gave us a range of what storylines to explore and gave us freedom to link stoylines together when filming.

As seen in Question 1 we planned costumes because we wanted to add extra meaning to the roles portrayed. We wanted the colour of the costume to reflect the characters feelings:
Natalie wore black showing mystery and the idea of a hidden identity
Becky wore red showing danger linking to the character that she was a cheat
Jack wore grey as he was a dark character too portraying deception
Holly wore green for envy
Megan wore white as she represented the victim to her boyfriend
Josh wore a hoody to represent suspicion
We also carefully chose character names as we wanted to create class so went with the theme of jewellry, however we wanted to create a parody with these. The names we decided on were:
Sierra, Crystal, Sapphire, Thomas, Sabbo and Pandora.

Song Choice

Christina Perri - Jar Of Hearts

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regretAnd don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long
Just to feel alright
Remember how to put back
The light in my eyes

I wish I had missed
The first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back you don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

The lyrics that are highlighted are ones I choice to use on my title cards as I believe that they are subtle hints of what the storylines are suggesting in the soap. The melody and feel of the music is downhearted and I feel it gave an indication to the audience of how to feel towards the trailer and the characters involved. These songs that are full of emotion and messages about teenage issues such as Break ups are also heard on trailers to the soap I am paraodying Made In Chelsea.
