Soap Uses and Gratifications Theory

It is very important to how an auidience recieve a soap and i will take this on board for my own trailer. people use media all for different purposes, for  both entertainment (a drama) and infomation (the news/documentary). People use soaps for a few reasons I believe, to be entertained (diversion) and also to maintian persoanl relationships through making conversation, as they are very popular it means that it is likely the person you are talking to has seen it. The public can relate to what a particular family/character is going through also, as it may of happened to them or someone they knew so along with entertainment the aspect of soaps realism may in fact relate to someone personally, so this may be another appeal of soaps, this also means its key that stories remain realistic in soap drama. People may also use soaps for 'infomation', likely more by historians though as many believe that a soap can be read as a social document.
