Notes Waterloo Road 3/12/13 - Sophie

• Head teacher had a lot of power due to his camera angles 
• Shot over his shoulder so we can see what he is going through
• Body language, emotion, confused, shocked 
• Head teacher has more power in the staff room. Standing up, everyone else is sitting down
• Camera angles show him as powerful
• Everyone is listening to him
• Barry Barry says 'Alright mate.' shows he doesn't care
• Even though he is shown as the smaller character visually, he has a real dominating power over Jack
• Laughter -  finds it funny that he's possibly ruined this boys life 
• Jack has more aggression, but because Barry is more masculine and is quite nasty it's easier for him to get 'under his skin' and become the more powerful character again
• More power, smug, confident, same age as him but can change things for the other boy
• Science teacher, head teacher (Michael) and the lady who controls the money (Lorraine) - dark, mystery type music, beat, heart beat, sad
• Michael shown as higher powered character, camera shown on him the majority of the time
• All the other teachers are talking about him
• 'Our esteemed leader' sarcasm, doesn't truly care about Michael 
• 'Elephant in the room' ignoring that he could go to prison 
• Older character
• Grantely - Stereotypical, old teacher clothing. Props brief case. Shirt, tie, sweater (knitted vest), tweed jacket.
• His words are not for everyone to hear- speaking to another older teacher- wiser
• Non diegetic sound - Head teacher (students shown as spoken about) Voice heard when he's explaining about troubled students
• Mr Chalk, his character is shown as a push over (to teachers and students)
• Caring - going to foster a student
• Head teacher sits down when he talks about himself going to prison. Lost power, same league as the rest of the teachers
• Music goes dramatic, slow and sad when it shows Imogen showing her scars.
• Other students talking and laughing
• Another girl helps her, shows power 'Oi' louder (through speech and clothing) reassuring 
• Fast music, guitar and drums. 
• Showing the Barry's, leaders, controlling, late, don't care about rules, 'chavs', PRU unit
