Genre Conventions in Soap Operas

Here we are shown the title sequence, this gives a naturalistic feel to the show as the animation is very cluttered and messy. As if it was made by a child creating a scrapbook.

This shows who the target audience is, rebellious teenagers. As you can see that they are messing around with their food, showing that they find entertainment in messing around which most teenagers do.

The show shows that it is meant to be as if it were real as you can see that the table is a mess, and even badly drawn children's drawing on the wall. This tells the audience that there won't be any false aspects of the show.

To stick with soap opera conventions there is always a problem and a resolve, each problem can lead to another problem which is then solved in the next episode, thus keeping consistent viewers.
