I am now going to discuss the title scene of Brookside to see how effective it is for tagging viewers to the soap.
Analysis of Brookside Title Sequence
Brookside is a popular soap in Britain and is hosted on channel 4 that is an independent channel, which is funded by sponsorships (heart foundations, aids .etc) and advertisements in the breaks.
I am now going to discuss the title scene of Brookside to see how effective it is for tagging viewers to the soap.
In the establishing shot we see the River Mersey with the docks in the distance and a black boat with clear white writing printed on it stating 'Liverpool', so presumably its going to Liverpool. So we obviously know that this soap is connected with Liverpool. I n the background we see a bright bluely sky and a river that is calm which suggests there are happy moments in this soap.
In the following shot we see the black boat once again but this time the boat is the main focus point, showing the writing on the boat clearly seen, also the boat is moving, but the camera seems to go with the boat which is a very clever technique, because its as if the viewers are being taken to the location with the boat.
In the 3rd and 4th shot we see a glimpse of established buildings, but these buildings are not known or specific to Liverpool. This suggests that the events that happen in this soap could happen anywhere.
