2. Representation The plot for this children’s TV Drama is a spin off of the popular family TV drama Doctor Who. Where Sarah Jane is an accomplice for Doctor Who. The TV drama represents a fictional sci-fi world that exists around the real world where they fight the evil alien forces that are at work in Britain. It is a fantasy world that is more suitable for younger children than Doctor Who. This can be seen in the jumbled up letters and numbers in the title sequence which suggests a puzzling world.
3. Realism Sarah Jane Adventures is a Sci-fi drama so the plot is completely fictional. However, the use of real actors set in a realistic average setting of a London neighborhood that the audience can relate to makes it more real. The title sequence is mainly done with graphics which takes away any realism. However, it does give the audience a sense of what the series is about.
4. Features of the Title Sequence The title sequence has many special effects due to the nature and genre of the TV drama. The theme song is well known as it is similar to the Doctor Who tune. The use of dark colours – black, blue and dark purple (similar effect to the blues and reds in Doctor who) suggest a mysterious dark world. The effect of the numbers and letters suggest a muddled mixed up world. The use of child like handwriting for the title suggests what the target audience is and help the audience relate to it.
