The TV drama that I have chosen is Eastenders.
Eastenders is a soap and it has been running for over thirty years.
in Eastenders they have many characters, for example the Mitchell family, one of which is called Phill Mitchell. Phill has joined Eastenders since 1990 and he used to be a character with a very dark side, however recently the return of his son Ben has shown a softer side to him.
Eastenders is located in Albert Square.
they use many props in Eastenders, such as furniture in the homes of every character in the soap. this is effective because it makes the soap look real and therefore gives the sense of everyday life.
We see many close up's of characters faces in Eastenders, this is effective because it shows the characters facial expression.
In Eastenders a lot goes on as it has been running for thirty years, however the story line is always interesting for the audience because they have everyday life on there, and the audience can relate to it.
They have a theme tune which is played at the start and at the end of Eastenders.
In Eastenders they use casual colours and ambient lighting to make it look like everyday life.


Aforeign film that I have studied is the Mexican film 'Amores Perros'
One of the characters in this film is Octavio and he is a man who has fallen in love with his brothers wife, Susana, and he would do anything to be with her and get her away from his brother because his brother beats her up. Hec would do anything for Susana. He had just made enough money to run away with Susana, however Susana took that money and run away with her husband (Octavios brother.) Octavio then becomes very angry and he turns into a violent person and more tragic things happen to him in the film.
This film is located in many areas such as, a dog racing place, modeling studio etc.
One of the props used in the film is the car in which the accident happens in.
A shot that is used in the film is an overtheshouolder shot, when Octavio is speaking to Susana, this is effective because it shows that two people are communicating.
In the film a lot of non diagetic sound is used, when they are playing a song that is not directly from the film.
