How soaps attract there target audience? (by serhan velettin)

Soaps send out plenty messages, allowing the audience to put forward there own personal views, this helps to have a better knowledge of what their viewing, with the language and appearance of the characters, adding that extra excitement into the soap. As we all know must famous stars are targeted by teenagers, everything they say or wear is under critic, therefore there extra careful in what they say and wear, a good example of this is Hollyoaks, the soap targets young viewers day to day lives, allowing the theme of teenagers life style to be exposed, the sexy females were used to attract the male audience, due to the stereotypical views going round about how soaps are aimed at females.
As you can see from the poster girls were used in a sexy way to attract the male gender towards the soap, trying to compete with soaps like Eastenders and Coronation Street.






Graham Watson said "Dallas has to be one of the greatest ever TV shows, because it had all of the attributes for entertainment. It had great characters, good writers and story lines that ranged from the ridiculous to the sublime. Oh how easy it was to run an an oil company! Watching Dallas was pure fantasy, it's simply what makes TV fun and relaxing, take out an hour from the real world and enjoy, for people who saw the show they know what I mean!"

As you can See this refers back to my point earlier on about people having there own personally opinions , as we can see this viewer loved the show, from what i know about the show J.R was a rich successful business man who attracted a lot of girls, mainly due to the fact of the amount of money he had. Another thing which still allows us as the audience to remember J.R is character was played in such a formal way, adding some form of realism in to the show, he also said the phase"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer", which has turned into a famous saying in society and even been talked about in Parliament, the kind of affect shows like this have on the world are amazing, it manipulates the audience to live as if your in a soap, which is the reason they try to make soaps realistic but sometimes go over the top.

We will be using the sexy girl character in our soap, allowing not only our female audience to get invalid but also our male gender, we will be focusing on money so we could say Dallas is a good example of how money opens many doors in life, but if you don't have it , its hard, which is the point we will be focusing about. Our soap will be targeting 20-40 year old people, due to the fact they'll have a better understanding of the word "recession".

Via our focus group i learnt..... (By Serhan Velettin)

I learnt how important it is to be realistic, while composing our film. Interesting topics via the industry covered which enable us to focus of certain affairs in today society i.e the recession, which focuses on the economical situation in major retailers in London, and how they might of got affected by the recession. Our findings from the focus group allowed us to change our ideas slightly, helping us focus not only on the company's reaction but also the staff's, which has to be released due to the crises. Before we formed the focus group we decided to assign many roles to one specific character, which i was against but was later decided by the group its a good idea, when we reached the focus group we discussed each character and described there personality's and there roles in the film, for example the personal assistant was assigned with many tasks like; having family and kids, being a health freak and even being slightly gay, the focus group declined this character as he was "too many people in one", which they thought was not logical to be married and have kids and still be gay. There words were "i personally would not watch someone like that", which led to a major discussion on reason why they thought the character was "over the top". As we all know Eastenders is a successful soap on BBC 1, which is viewed by many people around the country, they have covered major factors like Gay's, bullying and business as a whole. While focusing on these points they never went over the top on one character, for example Christian plays the gay character in the soap, creating conflict in his own way, but he is not assigned other tasks on top of that to confuse the audience, these kinds of things were all talked about in our focus group, which my group finally decided to keep the personal assistant as a normal family person, dedicated to his job and boss. We also played a little game with them, We got them to draw there boss in detail and really add any kind of frustration to the image they had.
