PLANNING - Soap Preliminary Task Planning:

Our group plan to base the Soap Preliminary Task on a scene from a recent episode of EastEnders. Whilst doing this, we will be able to familiarise ourselves with the conventions of the soap genre.

The scene takes place in a cafe, and involves the characters of Cat, Alfie and Michael.

In terms of roles, our group will have one director, with other members of the group filming from different camera angles, if needs be. Our group will also have three actors, and an extra.

Filming location:

College staff room.

Roles:

One director.
One extra.
Three actors.

Props needed:

Coffee cups - To add to the mise en scene of the cafe. Characters can be shown drinking out of them, and they can also be placed on the table.
Magazines - To add to the mise en scene of the cafe. These can be placed on the table.
Food - To add to the mise en scene of the cafe. This can also be placed on the table.
