There are many codes used in Coronation Street:
-Close up: reactions, show key props, facial expressions, engages the audience.
-Ensemble: group, collective.
-Colour pallet: dull and grim (musty mouldy colours).
-Panning shot.-Silence: used to intrigue and interest us.
-Contiued shot: allows the audience to recognise the character's body movements.
Throughout the duration of the soap sound mixing and picture quality has been improved.
In 1955, we can tell straight away that we are in a time where television is a fairly new thing, with the titles being black and white and fairly simple, we don't get much of a visual description of what Manchester is like. In 1955, the characters are seen more as groups rather than individuals, this is mainly portrayed by the lack of silence and lack of camera angles that were available at this point in time. However we can distingish who the main characters are by the amount of screen time given to each individual. No glamour in terms of Mise en scene. Shot smoothness is quite rigid, this is because of the show's low budget at this point in time.

Throughout the different time periods in Eastenders, the opening titles have changed over time, the first titles were dull and boring and didn't include much colour, there were also not much detail in cluded in the surrounding area around the river thames, it was mostly grass and didn't include much detail. Where as the present day tiltes are colourful and the surrounding area around the thamesa is detailed and up to date with the inclusion of the olympic park.

Analysis
The new opening titles to Emmerdale give a more modern and upbeat feel to the show, with fading shots used to enhance a smooth and relaxed atmosphere. In comparison to Eastenders and Coronation Street, different shot sizes and camera angles are used because of the rocky terrain and landscaping in the Yorkshire Dales, and also to enhance the shows reputation as a happy upbeat place.
