Real Media Texts- Soap Opera Episodes

Soap Episode[1]


Here I have watched a range of soap operas and noted down specific things from the piece. By doing this I am able to compare different soaps and look for similarities and differences. Many of the soaps include the same type of charcaters and very similar storylines. The soap Hollyoaks is slightly different to the other soaps because it is aimed at a younger audience however, it still includes the same conventions as the main soaps. By doing this task it has enabled me to see the variety of characters, settings and storylines included within a soap opera. From this it will help generate ideas for when we come to plan our actual trailer and the different things we can include. I am able to see what storylines and charcaters have already been used so, when it comes to the trailer as a group we can expand on the ideas or this can also help us to come up with an idea which has not already been covered.
