Soap Opera Slideshow

In class we had to present a slideshow of a few things Soap Operas/TV Dramas need. I used Eastenders as an example because I am familiar with the soap and watch it religiously which helps me to analyse as a student and a viewer, and i am able to write a brief background on the characters.

The different representation of characters are for the audiences to become familiar with them and the characters have to relate to audiences and realistic.

Realism has to be the key element in which audiences can relate to the different topics and issues which are  happening in the soap opera for them to be believable.

Soap Operas must be sensationalised in order for the viewers to be able to believe what is happening. UK Soap operas are much more gritty and tap into sensitive issues rather than other soap operas from other countries who make their soap operas much more unrealistic.

These are the few issues which Eastenders expose to their viewers.
