This is a link to an episode of "Waterloo Road" which is a soap opera which falls under the category of tv drama. The macro elements of this episode is the representation of a school and the environment which is a combination of the teachers and the students lives. This episode is about a new boy who arrives at the school but brings his troubled past with him that causes more problems at this new school. The most prominent representation is the difficulties that single mothers face.
The episode incorporates several of the different elements that defined in the previous post it has a lot of standard edits which is mainly straight cuts or motivated cuts which show a change in the action that is occurring in the same moment. There is not a vast amount of shots but there are establishing tacking and close ups. There is the use of digetic sound which includes the dialogue and there is also a lot of different props such as the characters uniforms which define them and their position of authority within the school.
I have attached this link so that there is an example of the type of clip or episode that I will be analysing in my exam.
