Here is an overview of my survey results...
From handing out my surveys to 14 people mainly ranging from the age of 15-20, I have found out the information needed for me to create my soap opera.
I found it better to ask women rather than men to participate in my survey due to the women being more enticed by soap operas. I also asked two people over the age of 20, to see if I would get a different result from asking them, which I did. I found that these two particular people preferred watching Coronation Street; I believe this is due to Coronation Street being one of the biggest known soap operas but also because of how long it has been shown on television for.
I found that my target audience age 15-20, preferred soaps with younger people present such as Hollyoaks and Eastenders, as they found they could relate to the storylines better, also they are enticed by the drama of the storylines. This made me realise, that when creating my soap, I need to have a really over the top, dramatic storyline.
