Eastenders theme


The Eastenders opening sequence and theme tune has been the same for over 25 years, and is approximately 40 seconds in length. The opening sequence is extremely simple and memorable, with the music being slow paced as the screen slowly zoomz in on an eagle eye image of East London. The colours of the opening sequence are simplistic and realistic to real life, reflecting the lives of real people instead of bright pinks representing glamour, as Eastenders is about realism. The text is also simplistic, as the font is serif and plain with a black drop shadow, making the text stand out from the beige background and still drawing attention to the title. The repetitiveness of the sequence and the fact that it hasn't changed in years speaks to and older audience who have been watching Eastenders for all that time.
