EBI: More on Narrative, More Detail


With Waterloo Road and Educating Yorkshire they both use elements from Barthes Enigma Code. This is highlighted more with Educating Yorkshire in comparison to Waterloo Road which is weird considering on is a documentary and the other is a drama. With Educating Yorkshire it uses Barthes Enigma Code in order to highlight the progression that Mushy has made for example during that clip they are filming the speech from multiple angles and getting key shots of his teachers and fellow students crying which in turn creates a narrative of this kids progress and struggle to bet the odds which is further highlighted with how it was trending in the UK on Twitter.

EBI: Apply more theories, more on representation on school life


I believe that with the narrative that Waterloo Road creates an unrealistic environment on what school life really is. This is due to the stereotypes created from the rich and powerful creating a unrealistic environment that Waterloo Road presents which links to Dyer's Theory of the powerful creating the representation of the powerless. Alternatively this could link back to Stuart Hall's Media Construction theory media is constructed by the society we create. Which could be the case that we are making the stereotype of school being like what is represented in Waterloo Road via the social media platforms and who we represent ourselves instead.
