Research into different scripts

Eastenders:

Personally this isnt the kind of TV program i would normally watch but i decide to look at this script because it fitted in with telling different people storys and showing different sides to each story. The program i think is a little bit boring as it seems just like the same storys over and over with different people. They try to show ever day life in this program for different familys and how they interact with each other the only thing i dont like is that the kind of things they show would never happen in real life. They run usually 3 or 4 stories at once which works because then the auidence is bored just watching the same set of people on screen and it makes the auidence feeel like they are getting to know the characters better from running these set of stories for a few episodes it starts to expand into something much bigger. One thing about this show and probably the thing i like most about it is the power and watch ability it has about it that keeps people tuning in for every episode and it gets the auidence talking about it, by this i mean how they had to drop one of the stories about a baby dying, they had a record number of complates put in about this subject it shows how this can affect peoples lives and shows the affect TV still has on people. The shows are wriiten and shot weeks in advance which shows the writers are really good at what they do as they seem to be one step ahead of world news in a way.

This is the opening image on eastenders title sequence.

Friends:
This is an American show about 6 friends, 3 men and 3 women, who are each in there own way lovable and everyone can see a bit of there selfs in each character which makes this a very appealing show to watch. There has been 10 series which is roughly about 250 episodes and there where two main writers for this TV show and they are David Crane and Marta Kauffman they wrote 238 of the episode. The clever thing about this show and how it is written is that there is always a basic storyline to each episode and in most cases it doesn't matter what episodes you watch as each episode is seprate to each other there is only a few episodes that link together which makes this program easy to watch and likeable. The little one liners throughout the show are funny and makes people laugh in the auidence which you hear during the show as its filmed in front of an auidence, the ques of laughter lead to the auidence at home to laugh as well and shows the lesser people in the audience when things are funny.
