2. Genre
• In Soaps there are various genres that directors try to get across to
the audience. Here are some for example: Romance, Thriller,
Conflict, Love, Sexuality, Fights.
• The genre of a scene chosen chooses what's going to happen in a
episode.
• The whole episode is chosen around the genre.

3. Conventions of soap opera's
• I think the biggest audience for soap operas is women aged 20-40
mainly because the time they are shown and the storyline’s that
the use.
• The name soap opera stems from the original dramatic serials
broadcast on radio that had soap manufacturers, such as Dial
Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Lever
Brothers, as sponsors and producers.
• These early radio series were broadcast in weekday daytime slots,
usually five days a week, when most listeners would be
housewives this was to target the right sort of audience they are
trying to attract.

4. Representations
• Representations are used to stereotype and countertype. Gossip is
used to create conflict, based in real life but with more tragedy.
They have a range of characters to get a wider audience. The name
of the soap will help with the connotations of its themes, lifestyles
and conflicts.
