Soap Influence

W10 LDN

The opening of the first soap W10 LDN has given us an idea for our soap. In part one of W10 LDN we first see establishing shots of 'Greenside Estate' and one of the main characters, Elisha moving in with her sister and mum.

We were inspired to do the same kind of plot, however our main character will come from a more posh part of the UK, whereas the audience saw that Elisha was already from a more urban setting, but our character will be white.

In in we also see a troubled home, which we also have decided to include in one of our issues. Our favorite plot line was the love theme and thought that to appeal to our audience which is of our age group, we had to include romance too.

Also the fact that the show is set in urban west London also attracted us to watch it, as our one is in the same setting. In addition to it being on an estate, the shows really captures the feel of young culture with the use of language and music, which we also want to portray.

However we decided to set it mostly around school too, as our characters are mostly 17/18 year olds till in collage/6th form.
