Show Influence's

The shows I was influenced by were mainly 'Waterloo Road, skins and Hollyoaks (Explosive plots preferibly Hollyoaks Later)'. I would base my show more on skins, set in school and the characters live in a small town like hollyoaks. I based my characters on both series 1 and 3 characters of skins. As the shows i mentioned are for teenagers and I feel this would interest the target audience of teenagers for my show. I chose these shows because the characters are always changing so the show could continue for a long time and all of these shows are very successful and are long running.

I was inspired to do the same kind of plots especially 'Hollyoaks' (murder, rape etc) , and therefor my characters will come from an average small town or village like Hollyoaks. In these trailers we also see a troubled homes and People but also a lot of fun, which I also have decided to include in the show. My favorite plots are the love and mysterious man themes and and thought that to appeal to the audience which is of the age group, I had to include romance too.

Also the fact that the shows are set in small normal places in England also attracted me to watch them, as my one is in the same sort of setting. In addition to it being in places like Bristol, A small Village and small town, the shows really capture the feel of young culture with the use of language and music, which I also want to portray. Therefor I decided to set it mostly around school, town and clubs, as our characters are 16/17 in 6th form as that is where most teenagers hang around. The characters will have basic sets e.g. the common room, their houses, local caffes and clubs in town.
