Opening Sequences of Home & Away and Eastenders
I am going to analyze the opening sequences of two soaps. Home & Away
and Eastenders.
Eastenders is set in London and the opening sequence reflects this.
The opening scene shows an aerial photo of modern London. The camera
gradually zooms out whilst moving slowly clockwise. In the aerial
photo we can see famous landmarks like the Thames River and the
Millennium Dome. The Dome is fairly modern. This is done to make sure
the viewer knows where the soap is set and that it is modern.
The music during this is designed to act as a trigger to grab the
viewer's attentions. So if a viewer has the TV on and is in another
part of the house, in the kitchen making some tea for example, they
can hear the familiar theme tune and come in to watch. With
Eastenders, they also have a loud, heavy drumbeat because the music
kicks in. This makes the tune very unique and hard to get confused
with other programs themes.
For newer viewers this heavy drumbeat sounds like a heavy heartbeat in
some ways, which gives them impression that this program will be very
dramatic, and maybe worth watching if they are a fan of dramatic
programs. The drum beat sounds like tis building up to something and
reflects the dramatic storylines
The main tune is played on piano and reminds me of sing songs in pubs
sitting round the piano
The colours are very dingy, mostly greys and dark blues. The writing
'Eastenders BBC' is very simple and plain white.
The first scene is a conversation between a middle aged male and a
younger female in street. They mention each others names, which
wouldnt normally happen in real life but Eastenders have done this to
help the newer viewers establish the characters. They also mention the
name of the pub. This is good because newer audiences have allready
established the main meeting place which will hopefully help then to
understand the soap more.
...usen and Sammy Cahn. The song has a definite swing rhythm and the saxophone and trumpets imitate Sinatra’s phrases.
The movie “Walkout” is about young Chicano/a activists who demand educational equality. In 1968, students living in East L.A were treated unequally. Since, most of these students were Chicanos they were given few resources. One example was presented when Paula visited the Palisades library. In East Los Angeles, bathrooms were close during lunch breaks and students were forced to janitorial labor as forms of punishment. Throughout, the movie some themes that arose were regarding identity (What is a Chicano?), walkouts as forms of protest for equality, and gender expectations. After Salvador Castro read the poem “I am Joaquin” by Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzalez, the Chicano/a activist’s had a hard time understanding who they were. Many Chicano/a’s identified
Theme is the subject of talk, a topic, or morals that the author is trying to get readers to comprehend. When reading an excerpt, the theme is not directly stated in the text, so you must dig deeper into the context to understand the matter trying to be portrayed. In both Angela's Ashes and The Street, we can distinguish a like theme of struggling through life’s complications. After reading the two different stories, we could select the theme from using character, events, and the setting.
The piano plays the main themes, and it was absent from playing before. The piano plays two octaves in the treble register. There is a viola in the background playing a counter melody, which slows towards
This is how I heard the music, piece by piece with some help to understand and ...
Family bonds are very important which can determine the ability for a family to get along. They can be between a mother and son, a father and son, or even a whole entire family itself. To some people anything can happen between them and their family relationship and they will get over it, but to others they may hold resentment. Throughout the poems Those Winter Sundays, My Papa’s Waltz, and The Ballad of Birmingham family bonds are tested greatly. In Those Winter Sundays the relationship being shown is between the father and son, with the way the son treats his father. My Papa’s Waltz shows the relationship between a father and son as well, but the son is being beaten by his father. In The Ballad of Birmingham the relationship shown is between

British soap operas are, of course, overly dramatic. In nearly every soap opera, including the Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and The Archers—the characters constantly discuss money and drink excessively. Of course, these shows are not made to be taken literally—they are mindless entertainment, not serious social commentary. However, behind the drama, they raise subtle questions about the nature of Britain today: the clashes between cultures and religions, upper and lower classes, and the young rebelling against the old. All of these things could be happening at the very same time, and underlining all of these issues is the idea that no one should be trusted.
I am writing why the processional “Here Comes the Bride” and the recessional “The Wedding March” are being prohibited in the Catholic Church. As a catholic girl, I have always dreamed of walking down the aisle to “Here Comes the Bride,” and leaving the wedding to “The Wedding March.” This was to be the moment that I could cherish , the moment that would be unforgettable. Now that I am ready to be married, is when I am upset that these two songs are no longer allowed in the Catholic Church.
The following song “What Makes the Red Man Red”, is from an extremely popular Disney movie; one I am sure most of you will have either seen or heard of, Peter Pan. Peter Pan is a 1953 American animated fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney. In a land of childish savages and rejected civilization, the portrayal of the Indigenous Native Americans is the most degenerate.
First Brian McKnight when he came out on stage the music slowed to a adagio tempo on the first song but, towards the end sped up to andante. Then the melody of the song was conjunct. In the background you can hear the many instruments harmonizing together as one. When he sung the lyrics to the song “Morning Mr. Radio” his pitch was mezzo piano but, he sounds like his vocals
Their song was more of a happy and jolly song it is not monotone at all it has character and the voices are high pitch and cheery. There was a lot of thought in the song. How did they know about them coming and how did they know all these things from the beginning of the book It is almost mysterious. In the beginning of the song said,”The river is flowing your ponies need shoeing o!tra-la-la-lally”. That is a very happy tune in my opinion. The elves differ from the other people in the book who also do songs. The tune that they are singing is more positive than the other songs the mystical creatures sing in the novel. This song is a lesser version grammar wise than the others it has good grammars but they use simple words and small sentences.
I murmured something about this being one of my main tunes, something I had heard many times, with the goal that it didn't generally demonstrate

It has a mixture of both medium and fast paced tempo with lots of harmonic tonal variations although the song. Both the piano and clarinet get to be incorporated in a way that gives the other percussion its identity without affecting the overall rhythm and melody of the song. The song does also have some considerable high pitch notes. For instance, the clarinet is used to denote the different points in the song where there is a change in the tone. Due the song’s pace variation and high tones, the piece does not elicit any bit of emotions. However, it does seem mysterious in its
