As a group we have decided to analyse opening title sequences from a few popular soaps, both UK and abroad. We feel this will benefit us when deciding on our own opening sequence. We hope to take ideas both positive and negative and apply them to ours to make it the best it can be. Things like music type, colours, pictures and even the length of it.
Analysing the opening credits for soaps is helpful as it allows us to see which types of openings are successful and what of them is necessary in order for them to be successful.
Images of the characters- Theme song with ‘neighbours’ in lyrics
“that’s when good neighbours become good friends”
shows that it is a tight community where everyone gets along and supports each other. They are all friends. - Audience watch and remember previous episodes and possibly what happened to specific characters as they see their pictures.
- Theme song is well known which allows people to recognise it.
- Bright colours are used and characters in images have smiles on their faces and they are having a good time. Shows that life on Ramsey Street is fun.
- Images are in a photo booth. Could show that life is picture perfect. But is this reality?
This analysis allows us to take the good points from the opening credits and use them to influence the decisions we make as to what music and layout we want for our opening credits.
