Blog Work to be done by 16th Oct - Soap Readings

Soap Readings:

Dominant-
A dominant reading of soaps are when us, the audience, believe everything we see. An example would be us believing that the stories shown are possible and can be seen to the same standards in ‘real’ life.

Opposite-
Opposite readings are the opposite. We, the audience, completely disagree with the stories / storylines used within the soaps. An example would be somebody believing that the stories are too far-fetched and unrealistic.

Negotiated-
Negotiated readings of soaps are when we both agree and disagree with the stories being shown on the shows. An example of this would be us agreeing with the storylines but then disagreeing with the extent the story goes to.
