Notes On 2 Minute Drama Clip

Click for Link to video - Waterloo Road
Begins at 17:10 mins
Characters in scene - Ronan, Maddie, and Vicky
Costume - A scruffy but recognisable school uniform
Setting : Food Technology class room. By using this mise-en-scene (of the location and costume), the problems that are brought up in this scene are intensified, as a couple arguing about paying the rent could be a casual topic, but as it is placed on a 17 year old couple, living on there own, the matter seems a lot more important.

 Maddie and Ronana are having a laugh, whilst Vicky is at the foor of the classroom (but they can not see her), and viewers can see Vicky, not looking impressed. The camera then does a point of view shot from behind vickys shoulder to put the audience in her position, of seeing her boyfriend having a laugh with another girl. Vicky gets paranoid by this and interupts with 'Having a good time are you' very uinfriendly. Maddie is only trying to help Roana and Vicky out with financial problems, but Vicky doesnt see this. Maddie is demanded to leave by Vicky, so she does, then Ronan explains how she was only trying to help them get more money for paying their rent. It brings up the issues of relationships and stress from work at school into one scene. Vicky gets out of hand and starts repeatedly hitting Ronan, whilst he shouts at her to stop. Music is introduced, and this intensifies the repeating hits on Ronan. Camera then turns to a different scene and location after seeing a reaction shot of Ronan, whilst the music gradually decreases, bringing back equilibrium to the Teen Drama.
