Narrative
In the trailer for Waterloo road there are loads of narrative strands introduced cleverly. There is a new girl joining the school and everyone is wondering who she will be, all the students are standing as a very expensive nice car enters the school with a custom license plate. The dad opens the car door and very prestige looking girl with loads of makeup gets out the car, this shows she has power as the dad opened the door. This gets the audience thinking. She then kisses a random boy who she doesn't know as her dad told her to get rid of her lipstick. The guys girlfriend is furious with this new girl. The new girl has set a bad example. The new girl has set an impact on existing storylines as she is going to cause so much trouble especially with the guys girlfriend.
Character
There are few characters introduced in the trailer, there is the headmaster who dresses in a creased suit which sets a bad example to the school. There is the good looking boy who every girl crushes on along with the guys girlfriend who wears loads of makeup and is supposedly the bad girl. Then there is the new girls parents who dress well and look very rich, the new girl has nice clothing and wears loads of makeup. She seems really bad and looks dominant. There is no stereo types as a school would normally be represented as good and very focused students that dress well but in this school all the kids are wearing there own clothes violating school rules as they are creating chaos.
Iconography
In the trailer we see loads of students dressed in there own clothes, this shows they don't care about the school rules therefore it sets a bad example for this high school. There is the head teachers dressed badly and are holding clip boards. The sub genre is a teen drama.
Setting
The setting is a really messy disgusting school that has litter all around the floor.The trailer quickly makes the audience think the school is unhygienic and dirty, this suggests it is not looked after. The students at the school are most likely there as no other school will accept them, this also shows the school is bad.
