Narrative: The scene open when the head teacher is brutally attacked by a passing student. He find out that this is a dream and by the reaction on his face he is still scared of it to this day and there is a story behind it. The scene then skips to him and work where his secretary offers his some refreshments in a bubbly accent. But straight away we know that he is a stern man by his reaction to her kind nature. Then the scene skips on more to two boys getting ready for school and you can tell immediately that they are caring for themselves which shows that the programme is not about the rich but the 'common' society.
Mise-en-scene: The 3 scenes are different:
1. A clean cut flat with the modern necessities. There is no speech involved just dramatic music in the background followed by the alarm clock sounding and the diegetic sound of the actor walking to the bathroom. Dim lighting.
2. Again a clean cut office but this time showing he is no longer scared but in control of this environment and is standing strong in his large office. His outfit also looks expensive and chic. Natural lighting
3. A messy old fashioned house where the boys are both dressed scruffily and saying they are late for school showing they are very un-organised. This is the complete opposite to the head teacher.
Sound: Its starts off with non-diegetic sound when the head teacher is in his dream then when he wakes up it changes it diegetic. But throughout the two minutes there tends to be a trend of non-diegetic sound in the background. Along with speech after the first minute. Bright lighting.
Industry: Adverts on BBC 1. Aired every week on a Wednesday evening at 7.30pm but is not sponsored by anything.
