Ancillary Practise- Hollyoaks Practise

"All the better to kill you with.."- I have used this line to make refference to the characters costume, expression, relevent story line and even the time of the year. Many know that this character is dressed as little red ridding hood which is the story where this line had been taking from.

The E4 logo has been put on as a tilt as this is simular to most other E4 billboards and advertisements, it is hardly ever placed in a straight angle. The colour of this logo and the writting has also been used in order to match the channels current look.

Soap Opera Basics


UK soaps contain more realism than US and Spanish Soaps

Traditional soap operas run continuously – character storylines overlap

Can have 10-15 main characters a range of genders, ages, sexualities, and races, to appeal to as large an audience as possible

Soap operas become part of a national psyche- they weave into our culture
Characters become “people”, they are spoken of as if they are family

Audience- aimed at female audiences, this affects scheduling, storylines, characters, narrative perspective.

Story- events unfolding

Narrative perspective- point of view the story is told from

Catharsis- emotional cleansing, watching someone go through the same as you makes you feel better
