Waterloo road Clip analysis.

The clip portrayed above is the clip i will be representing in my own production of a video, i will be copying all representational issues featured in the above video. The representational issue conveyed in this clip is the theme of drugs and teenage peer pressure as well as how the younger generation may be more corrupted than older generations.

The Camera editing in this clip varies from birds eye view shots representing the 'God Look' portraying what they are doing is wrong and God may be looking down on them, the clip then moves on to a 180 degree to show the theme of conversation and to make it clear to the audience that they are talking, and the seriousness of the conversation as the fast switches from person to person causes tension in the clip to build leaving the audience wanting to watch the rest of the clip and to see the climax.

At the same time the fast cuts and the camera editing is in place a fast non-diegetic beat is in the background yet again portraying the suspense moment and successfully building tension in the clip, until they exit the toilet where the camera pans across and follows them leaving the toilet the music quiet'ens down and makes the main focus the talking as an argument begins.

The Mise-en-scene in the clip is how the teens are in a school toilet, representing the dirty, run down stereotypical view on school toilets and how what they are doing may be seen as dirty and stereotypical of a generation taking drugs.

The last section of the clip, there are many close ups portrayed making this section obvious that it is an important scene and that the conversation is serious, the camera yet again is at the 180 degree rule conveying the theme of conversation, making it clear to the audience, there is also editing such as the fast cuts from character to character to eventually lead to the climax, however another piece of editing is used when she pushes Sam off of her and the screen shakes co notating the force and built up tension of the scene and the seriousness that Sam has for her friends saftey. The sound in these last clips range from a non-diegetic beat which is at a slow pace at the start and by the end where it has faded portraying just the characters voices making them the main focus point. 

The last part of the clip shows all three girls and how they have been caught with drugs and Sam knows, therefore leaving them the feeling of worrying and how people may find out, therefore foreshadowing that they actually could be found out, the last edit in the clip is the dramatic zoom and pan when the pair walk out of the toilets, showing there disrespect and stereotypical teenage behavior.
