Q1. In what ways does your product USE, DEVELOP or CHALLENEGE existing codes and conventions?

PlanningIn order to keep my planning clear, organised and in chronological order I uploaded it all to a www.blogspot.com blog. This allowed me to produce my storyboarding, not taking and deconstruction of different existing products, to be presented tidy, clear and concise.

EVALUATING AN EXSISTING SOAP

I have evaluated 2 existing soap operas in my blog please view these

The costumes of these characters are cheap and tacky and also not fashionable this represents that they are part of the working/middle class.

The characters are both at home in the day light as the natural light is shining through, this could suggest the economic state might of made them loose there last jobs they had

The male character is holding a teddy bear showing suggesting he might have a child and that the reason he needs a job but hasn't got one.

The beer could state that hes fed up as he is drinking in the daytime

Female decorations around the room, with a floral wall paper and old fashion furniture reflects her personality and age, also that she doesn't have the money to re-decorate her house as she hasn't got a job

The board cockney accent gives the soap regional identity as this soap is in the east end.
