In the homes they represent they can be quite realistic. They don't replicate interior design developments and the latest trends and gadgets you can get within the home. ALthough not much technology is seen within the soap such as laptops, this could be because it's showing a lower/working class society.
Around the square/market the retail outlets are not showing any window displays or signs about the recession, nor is there any emphasis on the economic deprivation. The society of eastenders doesn't change often, the dynamics remain the same. There maybe a few indications of the recession within dialogue or one narrative strand. It doesn't keep up to date with a true reality. It shows a very small world that is stuck in its ways.
In homes you can see dirty plates in the sink and beside the basin. This can be a realistic representation showing people do live there. It's showing a certain lifestyle, people of a middle class may have a dishwasher. It also shows characteristics of characters, they show the characters to not be particularly house proud. This does differ amoungst other characters, not everyone is shown to be living like this. Eastenders is very good at giving impressions of diverse living styles.
A man is seen sitting on a dining table looking through documents. He has a smart shirt on with a tie very neatly tied. He looks very focused on his work. This sets of a very easily understood message to viewers; that he's a professional business man that takes his work very seriously. You need nothing more to convince viewers, he doesn't need to have any certain characteristics.
-This is a technique we can adopt. The use of simply costume and accessory ideas.
