Byker Grove Episode Eleven

Aimed a teenaged audience of both boys and girls
Lasts for half an hour
Used to be a very popular TV drama in the old days
There is a multiple narrative throughout the episode - shown by a few different characters producing their own films and a normal storyline. Peaceful, Action (films) + Father and Son Quality Time together.
In the start they use the dialogue to cut between shots which was also used in Five Days with really quick cuts between each one. With smooth transitions being shown at the same time, again to keep the audience entertained.
The dialogue is in a Newcastle accent of teenagers talking about their films and other people having conversations about certain things. (VERBAL)
It is set in a teenage youth club, shed and outside in the surrounding areas of the youth club. (VISUAL)
Close up shots, Medium Close Up Shots, Long Shots and Wide Shots get used within the episode which are used to hook the viewers to keep watching. (VISUAL)
The son of the father is seen standing in the  door way looking at a group of people in the middle of a conversation. (NON VERBAL)
The leaders of the youth club exchange a glance between each other over something that was said. (NON VERBAL)
 One of the characters are filming trees as some part of relevance to her peaceful film. (NON VERBAL)
They get a shot of the poster which is in chinese style writting to show in younger viewers some part of the storyline without actually showing it through dialogue (WRITTEN)
Also conjoining with this shot they use oriental music to go along with the chiense type theme. (NON DIGETIC)
