I conducted this analysis on neighbours to get a better understanding of soap operas to see how many different scenes were used, how many characters were in each scene and what the main storyline was behind
each scene. I wanted the extra knowledge to use within the soap so I can then use this knowledge and include it in the planning and production of my own soap opera.
