Eastneders is a household name within the soap opera genre. One of the most known and most watched soaps within the U.K. the title sequence is very iconic in the soap genre also along with its soundtrack.
The title sequence begins with very dramatic beats of drums, with the camera focused straight into the river Thames and all the audience can see is blue at this point, as the camera begins to slowly zoom out we see boats on the Thames and the jingle within the music begins. The camera still slowly zooming out, it is now clear to the audience that the river is clearly the river Thames situated in London, this now signifies to the audience where the soap is set. As we are still zooming out we see iconic attractions of London such as the 02 arena. The music sounds very joyful and upbeat, however closer to the end of the sequence it slows down; the music for the soap can portray the mood of the soap in itself. We start with a very dramatic thumping noise, which could show heavy drama, then a very upbeat sound which could show happiness and a sense of joy or even panic to the soap, and finally the music slows right down and sounds peaceful which could then relate to some of the peaceful narratives within the soap. Right at the end of the sequence we see a birds-eye view shot of London, with the River Thames flowing right in between it, and the ‘Eastenders’ title appears on the screen. This final shot of London and the Eastender title above is very iconic.
This is without doubt one of the most recognisable titles within the soap genre, as this soap has gathered a huge following over the years as it continues to satisfy the needs of its followers, as it has done for many years.
