Inbetweeners clip

Inbetweeners

Broadcaster is E4
Written by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris
Directed by Gordan Anderson, Ben Palmer, Damon Beesley and Iain Morris
Produced by Christopher Young


  • The characters are stereotypical teenage boys because the character are always talking about girls and that they always course trouble, for example when they hit the disabled woman with the frisbee.
  • The sound in this clip is mostly dialogue, however it also includes music and some sound effects. A sound effect is used, when the frisbee hits the girl on the wheelchair, to exaggerate the force of impact and make it sound worse than it actually is. Music is also used when  the girls enter the scene and this is used to create excitement and anticipation of what will happen next.
  • The location is in the park, so the lighting of the scene is natural. It also reinforces the stereotype that all teenagers hang around in parks, but this is made comical as they're not doing stereotypical antisocial things (such as drinking and smoking), but instead they are playing with a frisbee which reinforces the actual innocence of the group. 
  • Narrative- Although in this scene there is no apparent narration, usually during an episode of The Inbtweeners there is a narrative from one of the main characters, Will. This narrative helps the audience feel more connected and build more of a relationship between them and the characters; which then helps them find they're comical situations even funnier.
  • The camera work is mostly simple camera shots. for example, over the shoulder shots when the characters are speaking to each other and use extreme extreme close ups to show the expressions of the characters as the frisbee hits the disabled woman. They also use establishing shot at the start of the scene to set the scene.






During this scene medium shots are used to show the characters from a casual and friendly perspective. 











Here, a wide angle shot has been used which shows the characters all together. It also shows the moods of the characters at this time, and how they feel about playing frisbee. E.g. Simon standing bored, Jay standing with his arms crossed, and Neil and Will playing happily.

  1. A good, detailed analysis of the scene and conventions used. (=) Consider further how the cmaer shots and editing are used for effect.
