Sound is a very important element and convention for soap operas. For our trailer we had to be able to find a website with copyright free music to use in our trailer.
The typical theme tunes for soap operas are recognisable for the fixed viewers.
Coronation Street – The theme tune for Coronation street is very gentle and relaxed. The instrument used is the trumpet.
Eastenders – The theme is largely based upon percussion, strings and the piano, it is widely known for its dramatic use of sound, particularly the drums that begin at the end of an episode – which adds a sense of importance, suspense and drama to the cliff-hanger.
Hollyoaks - Hollyoaks is the only British soap to make use of incidental music, usually a variation of the show's theme music. It is used either as a transition between scenes or as part of a dream-like sequence.

The Street – We used orchestral music to add tension to the soap opera trailer, we decided to use that type of music because even though we have a younger target audience we used this type of sound because it goes with the concept as Hayley is returning and it adds dramatic effect for the viewer.
