Initial Plot Narrative For Trailer

We have decided to create our trailer in the style of many trailers used by the soap opera, Hollyoaks. This is because Hollyoaks is aimed at a younger adult audience and this is the audience that we aim to attract. The trailers used by Hollyoaks often tell the storyline in a quirky manner which intrigues the audience to watch the episode as they want to know the storyline.

For example, for the storyline where Nancy, Ravvi and Kris were in a love triangle, the trailer advertising this trailer was in the form of a magazine cover. The cover has an emblem with the word "exclusive" and this intrigues the audience into knowing the new scandal happening in the soap. The use of a magazine cover is used to appeal to a younger audience who are the most popular buyers of gossip magazines.

We would like our trailer to have a Hollyoaks-esque feel to it where it hints at the storyline without telling the audience what is going to happen, whilst still intriguing the audience to watch our soap opera.
