This soap opera is called ‘Silver Street’, which is about everyday, real life problems and situations and how these problems should be solved the right way, but at the same time it portrays a reality that not all problems and situations in our everyday life are easily solved or solved at all. The soap portrays a wide range of people’s life around a rough and underprivileged area. There are all sorts of people there from different backgrounds, different races and different ages, and we see how life is for all these people and their families and the problems they face almost every day. This soap will be a reflection on real life to make it seem as realistic as possible.
The soap will open a conventional way by introducing as many different characters as possible by tying the whole community to a big story. From the very first episode it will be dramatic and enticing.
Throughout the course of the soap we will see many dramatic stories with real life situations, but also exaggerated a bit to add to the excitement. We will see a community where everyone knows each other, from a local doctor to a local shop keeper and to normal residents living in the area. We will also get familiar with characters after a while and see some of them leave and many new faces joining.
The main characters for this soap will be two local boys called David and Jay, the reason they will be pretty main characters within this soap is because they have been living in the area for a long time and their families are well known, they are always travelling around the area and hanging around the area. Jay and David are both 18 year old youths, who have finished college and are trying to get jobs, but having a difficult time along the way and sometimes doing wrong actions to get by. Another character will be a drug dealer called Jonathan who is a 23 year old man, but the elder community are not aware of his criminal side. Another character will be a local 27 year old man called Ryan who distributes catalogues for Avon so he also is quite popular within the community. The style of the soap will be gritty.
The opening storyline which will be a memorable one will be about the local doctor who seems very kind and caring is actually a killer.
The soap will be targeted at people aged 12 – 40 mainly and possibly even older people. The soap will be set around Silver Street being a road, and local parks, alleys and some other local locations.
I wrote up a brief treatment for my idea for a new soap opera called SilverStreet, but this was just an idea amongst other ideas and i would have to write another more detailed treatment if my idea was selected by the group
