Entry 10 - Lighter Moments

As well as dark traumatic moments, the lighter memories of East enders help to balance out the drama and  create a more realistic feel instead of the 'doom and gloom' aspect of the soap opera. Such moments include;
  • Tamwar and his father
  • Mo vs Pat
These relationships begin to show the nicer sides of the characters and how they support and encourage eachother. For instance, the incident that occured to the Masood family caused Tamwar to feel uncomfortable and a slight hint of anger towards his father, however, at the preparations for his wedding, they both open up and make amends as a very crucial life event is happening to Tamwar. This shows that with the incident that took place, the bond between the father and son is never truly broken, therefore being a light aspect of Eastenders and how it represents close relationships.

In this clip, the relationship between Mo and Pat is portrayed in a comedic way. This creates a better effect as the two characters are always at each others throats threatening or disrespecting each other. However, in this scene the music, camera angles and portrayal of the two characters helps to achieve this comedy.
