Title: How far does the soap reflect an accurate representation?


1
How far does the soap reflect an accurate
representation?
  • What were your findings?

Soaps may not always be realistic but their
success relies on creating realism! However,
often criticised for not representing groups of
people in a positive or true way (helping to
create negative stereotypes)

Hollyoaks
  • Hollyoaks is totally unique. It goes out five
    nights a week, is filmed considerably faster and
    on am much smaller budget, yet still picks up
    awards alongside Coronation Street and
    Eastenders. It is targeted at young people and
    goes out at 6.30pm, but it is one of the most
    successful home-grown programmes on channel 4.
    Going on the feedback we receive, it can also
    make a difference to peoples lives. Covering
    male rape and self-harming in the way that we did
    undoubtedly helped teenagers whod been through
    similar experiences. What makes us completely
    different though is the humour. We often cut
    between something very heavy and
    thought-provoking to something utterly silly and
    light-hearted in a way that no one else does.
    Life is like that. In any street one family may
    be in the middle of a terrible crisis while their
    neighbours are laughing and I think we reflect
    that. (Ian Pike - Coker 2004)

Docu-Drama
  • A docudrama is a dramatization of actual
    historical events.
  • Docudramas tend to demonstrate some or most of
    the following characteristics
  • A focus on the facts of the event being treated,
    as they are known
  • The use of literary and narrative techniques to
    flesh out story-like the bare facts of an event
    in history

    assertion of the creator's own point of view or
    beliefs.
