Narratives Seen So Far

1) Kristi cheats on her boyfriend Steven with his bestfriend Ricky.
2) Grace and Bens dad has been murdered (Numurous suspects)
3) Grace starts rebeling from college and starts drinking and doing drugs.
4) Kristi becomes pregnant and she doesn't know who the father is.

Casting

Here is a list of the following people I chose to cast and who their character will be:

Kristi McGowan, 20 Carer/Student
Kristi's character has one of the main story lines which would start the soap opera. She is a student with a boyfriend who she cheats on. Kristi then finds out she is pregnant but doesn't know who the father is.

Steven Parker, 20 Student
Steven's character is Kristi McGowan's boyfriend. So far there is no big story line for Steven other then that he may not be the father of Kristi's unborn child.

Ricky Atkins, 21 Bartender
Ricky is a close friend of Steven but goes behind Steven's back and gets with Kristi. Ricky is the other possible dad.

Grace Moxon, 18 Student
Grace's character is the second big story line to be seen in the soap opera trailer. Grace's father has been murdered and she struggles to deal with not knowing who killed him. Grace becomes depressed and binges on alcohol and starts doing drugs. If this was to continue, Grace would then get off the alcohol and drugs and find out who killed her father.

Rob Moxon 24 Shop worker
Rob is Grace's brother, Rob and Grace are quite close and Rob decides he needs to help Grace get off the alcohol and drugs and deal with her grief in a more appropriate way.

Marley Welburn, 18 Student
Marley's character is also a student and good friends with Kristi and Grace. Marley has a long term boyfriend who she is happily in love with and would do anything for. She gets engaged to Ashley but is she too young? Will it happen?

Ashley Cooper, 20 Student
Ashley is Marley's boyfriend. They have been together for a while and in the soap opera you see he proposes to Marley. Marley says yes and everything seems happy in the soap opera trailer but could their be a secret Ashley is hiding?

Daisy Wheeldon, 19 Hairdresser
Daisy's character isn't seen in the soap opera trailer much as I didn't want to have too many characters as it could confuse the audience. However, to show there would be more story lines and more people I included Daisy's character.

Laura Cooke, 18 Student
Laura is also not seen much as I wanted to include other characters faces to give the audience a feel of what the soap opera would be like. Laura is a friend of Grace who also tries to get her off alcohol and drugs. However, Laura knows who murdered Grace's father.

Alan Cartwright, 61 Lanlord
Alan, is shown in the soap opera trailer a little bit as I wanted to create a mysterious effect of this character. Who is he and could he be a suspect of Grace's fathers death?

Research for Poster (Examples of TV Posters)

From looking at TV posters I have found out that the TV posters do not include much information a part from the title of the show, the date it starts and the time, and the TV Channel it will be on. This has helped me as I didn't know what to include on my poster at first.
