Hollyoaks theme

The Hollyoaks opening sequence is a lot more complicated than those of Coronation Street or Eastenders. Hollyoaks has a personal touch; introducing the characters individually and using editing software, they represent the characters personality in the background as well as objects around them. The difference between Hollyoaks and Eastenders is that the opening sequence is constantly changing, as various characters are introduced and removed throughout the years. You can tell by the music as well that the programme is a lot more modern, as there are many instruments and synth used in the theme tune, such as electric guitars which creates a much more exciting atmosphere, contrasting Eastenders simplistic piano tune. The text is a lot more colourful, with the pink and blue representing genders and signifying relationships as being an important part of the programme, therefore speaking to a younger audience.
