Teachers Evaluation


  • During the interview, the switching of shots from a medium shot of Jenny or Susan to the group of 5 interviewers gave the impression that they were being ganged up on, the use of reaction shots when either Jenny or Susan made a banterous line was used to great effect to show the cold nature of the headteacher and the board
  • When Simon was cycling at any point during the show, he would ride standing and oftenly swerving, a comarison to a fellow cyclist (a child) is easily made. After it is revealed that he is dating Maggie, when he cycles away he faces away but swears at the students, this a key sign of immaturity as instead of taking the high ground, he is swearing at minors. The camera stays still, it could be used as if someone is watching him cycle away.
  • When in the bar, they are joined by Jenny and the expressions of the three men are seen from a side angle-three shot. This is used to give reaction shots but from a more obtuse angle, this use of shot is oftenly used to replace a three shot whilst avoiding repetition of shots. It is then changed to a face on three shot to exacerbate the reaction when Jenny could be head of year. The awkward smiles are also a sign of comic relief.
