The idea which I have put together for my individual treatment is:
Title: North Hill
Summary: General day to day life in the North, raising awareness of certain issues with the community. It is situated in a horse shoe type of location where there are locations within a the main location.
Target Audience: Teenagers
Characters: General day to day teenagers along with the stereotypical good and bad person.
Jade which is the good one has come from a tough background as her mum and dad died when she was younger and was therefore raised by her grandparents but she wants to do well in life; get a an education, job and be very successful. Although she has a boyfriend called Max who does bad stuff like get into fights and smokes. However Jade does try to stop him but is not always successful in this matter.
Hannah who is the bad person again has come from a tough background but instead decides to live with that life instead of trying to change for the better. Her parents have split and she is always moving from one house to another, her mum takes drugs and under the influence has now started to take them to.
Mark is a disabled boy who gets bullied quite a a lot because of this. He had a car accident and is now paralyzed from the neck downwards on his right side.
Storylines: There are going to various hard hitting storylines to get the attention of young teenagers who are watching it so that they are aware. Bullying will take place with Mark who is disabled. Teenage Pregnancy with Jade and Max who pressures her into bed and then tells her to abort the baby. Other storylines will include: Domestic violence/ family problems/ drugs, Hannah gets beaten by her mother because of the drugs.
The frequency for this soap would be 3 times a week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday at an earlier time of 6.30 on BBC. I feel this would be most appropriate due to the target audience being teenagers and also popular shows such as Eastenders and Coronation Street are on after.
