Narratives

In our videos I was the teacher and I asked Jay the student to have a meeting with him and his mum about missing a lesson at school. I had a meeting with Jay and his mum about his attendance to lesson and it shows the conflict between Jay and his mother. the purpose of this scene was to show the the conflict between the teacher, the parent and her son, and how the teacher tried to resolve the issue.

The narratives in my video are multi -stranded. The meaning of this, is that the dramatic soap is told from many point of views. Our point of view is that we show a conflict between the family and the teacher.  The conflict of our video shows the situation between the parent and her son and how the parent suggest that she doesn't really seem to be interested in her son. There are many other views about this conflicts but we concentrate more on this one. The reason we did this because we were inspired from family soaps such as Eastenders and how they use conflicts between family, so we wanted to try this.

For a normal family in a soap a conflict is usually told in a serial because its like never ending but for our video its just one episode because it does not carry on.  For our video we create a sense of conflict between the parent and the kid to show the tension between the family and how the school gets involved in this conflict. I think we have shown this and has been really effective because we have shown how the parent does not really care about her son very well and the tension between the teacher and the parent. Some of the shots we used to show this is close up shot for the  parent reaction and medium shot to show other peoples reactions as well.

For our family soap it has to be realistic so the audience can adapt this to their lives. So we used a real issue and in our production we didn't use any cross cutting shots or other effects to make it unrealistic. we also had to make the video relaistic but yet interesting so people could watch it. i think we have show this because in our video we used a real issues but made in interesting
