Narrative:
From The short clip we can see that Waterloo Road is based in a high school full of naughty teenagers. Gabriella Wark arrived at the school and acted like she was the boss of the school, we can see this from the way she was acting such as when she disobeyed her dad and put on lipstick. The narrative suggests that Waterloo Road is about the new head teacher who is trying to improve the school but  now Gabriella  arrived and is introduced as the bad character. From the short clip we can also see that Gabriella is a very rich spoilt young lade who likes to disobey her parents.We can also see that Gabriella will make the show more interesting.

Character:
There are many of stereotypes in Waterloo Road such as 'popular kids' who are bad behaving kids that have terrible attitudes.These kids wear their own clothes and sell illegal things in school. Gabriella would be part of 'popular kids'.These kids get forced to do other students ' homework.They also get mocked because they are clever and do not have many friends . In the clip you could see good and innocent young pupils playing games with each other they were fully dressed and were in the full school uniform. The pupils that do this, are typically seen as the well behaved and boring characters as they are innocent.

Iconography: 
In Waterloo road there are a lot visual codes that imply iconography for example the uniform. From the clip, we can see that a minority of students wear school uniform.From this we can imply that it isn't a strict and the teachers are not under full control of the students. 

Setting:
It is obvious to the viewers that Waterloo Road is a urban drama because it is set in a rough and on a whole bad high school. There are many sizeable events that occur at school for example fallout's with friends , fights , disruptions  in class and extreme exams, this would be a perfect place for a television show. Because it is established in school, teenage kids would be able to relate with the topics that are shown in Waterloo Road. This is because hese events could have happened to them or a friend in school
