Character Profiles

http://edgea2.blogspot.com/2010/09/character-profiles.html

This is my character profiles that I did for our group blog. It is just so that the characters are easier to recognise and I will be able to use it when I need to write about what is going on in our soap. I got this from the chart that I drew up of all the different characters and what their role in the soap is. This can also be found either on my group blog, or my indervidual blog.

I compared all of the characters too characters that are already in soaps. For example, Rochella Wembridge is compared to Kat Slater from Eastenders. This is due to her characteristics, and similer storylines. This is also good when it comes to summerising my soap trailer, because I will be able to see what is happening where and when.

Rough Plan for Soap Opera Trailer

http://edgea2.blogspot.com/2010/09/rough-plan-for-soap-opera-trailer.html

Here, we made a rough plan for our soap opera trailer. Emmaline took pictures of her sisters 'Bratz' dolls, and we made them look like they were acting for our trailer. As this is just a rough plan, we havent decided on the background settings, but we have thought of all of the different characters and actions.

India Gothard - Rochella Wembridge

India Gothard

Age - 17

Character - Rochella Wembridge

Why we chose India - for the character of Rochella, we wanted someone with darker skin and long hair that has a typical Essex accent. We chose India because she has a small figure, shes pretty and she has darker skin that could be seen as 'fake tan' and she also has long hair. Rochella needed to be the local 'slut' so we needed someone that was very fashion consious and liked to look after herself, appearance wise. India wanted to play the 'seductive' and 'sexy' characters so both myself and Emmaline agreed that India would be the perfect person for this part. Also, because of her small figure it was easier to tell that she was pregnant, which gave the audience more of an idea as to the sort of character that she was playing.

Emmaline Gordon - Emma-Louise

Emmaline Gordon

Age - 17

Character - Emma Louise

Why we chose Emmaline - Emmaline volunteered to be Emma-Louise after one of our pervious actors decided they didnt want to play a part in our film. Emmaline was right for this part because of her light hair, accent and the way she presents herself. Emma-Louise is a innocent character who is being cheated on. Emmalines light hair, and punctual accent connotes innocence and clear. When looking for a charcter we always knew we wanted someone with light hair and an innocent accent therefore Emmaline fitted the part perfectly.

Target Audience Profile

Target Audience Profile

This is the target audience brief that myself and Emmaline did. It is all about what our target audience is going to be for our soap, and who we are mainly aiming it at. With this however, we have added examples of our characters to back up our ideas and suggestions. I contributed to this piece of work by finding out all of the different target audience profiles. (gender/age/race)
