Identifying the sub-genre of a Television Drama.

From the screen shot that I have found, i can tell that the programme is sub-genred 'teen drama'. All the people in this shot are in uniform, showing that they are teenagers. The fact that they are all surrounding the car is very stereotypical for these 17 year olds, as being 17 means you can drive, and teenage boys obsessing over fast cars and looking good to you mates, and as you can see by the shot, the boy is showing off his car to others, and the girl is proud that she has a friend with a car, whilst others are admiring it. The school in the background sets the scene, and this also shows that the drama is based here.  The students are dressed in a way of going against the schools dressed code, with a boy in a cardigan, and with short skirts, and buttons undone on the top, this is also seen as stereotypical for rebellious students.
