or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

WE WANTED BAMFORD TO FOLLOW THE SAME CONVENTIONS OF CORONATION STREET AND EASTENDERS.

ROVERS RETURN IS THE CENTRAL SOCIAL MEETING POINT FOR CORONATION STREET, BAMFORD ARMS IS OURS.

WE FOUND THAT THEY ALSO USED BIG CLOSE UPS TO CAPTURE THE EMOTION, CREATING CLIMAXES AND TENSION.

MAKE THE AUDIENCE FEEL LIKE THEY’RE WATCHING THE CHARACTER’S FROM A ‘FOURTH WALL’ PERSPECTIVE
