Analysis of existing soap opera trailer (including music)

The EastEnders trailer 'Meet the Carters' introduces the new characters in EastEnders. EastEnders is a well know soap opera so their trailers aren't as broad as the new soap operas.  EastEnders trailers focus on only one point as its shown on the 'Meet the Carters' trailer where they focus on the arrival of the new family which are the Carters however a new soap opera would try to show multiple story lines.

The trailer shows the intentions of the Carters however it doesn't show much of the actions because the trailer isn't meant to reveal a big part of the story line for that particular episode. Upbeat drums in the background as the each member of the Carter family is shown in the trailer. Throughout the trailer the sound of the drums is heard which is used to get the audience excited about the new characters that will the join Eastenders also suggesting that there's a lot to come from them because of the various stroylines that are shown in the trailer.

In our trailer we intend to have the similar effect, with upbeat music. Our soap opera is new so therefore we are aiming for a similar effect because we have to introduce the characters to the audience.
