Last lesson

Last lesson we related soap doc to real media texts like the office. Extras is also a good example. It is designed to be a comedy but has plenty of drama elements as well like you'd find in a soap like coronation street. We also watched a number of films relating to postmodernism such as '500 days of summer' and 'pulp fiction' and dissected those texts and pulled out key elements and themes, such as 500 days of summer's slogan 'its a story about love not a love story' and the very heavy violence of pulp fiction.
