Mise-en-scene for 'Teachers'

Simon having 'illegal herbs' with student instead of cigarette shows he's laid back.
Susan looks more dressed up than usual to show that she wants the head of year place
PE teacher dressed not smart to show incapability of teaching a-level
Use of toes twiddling when scared and anxious
Jenny turns up to lesson with marked books and Simon turns up with nothing.
Teachers revising for parents evening brings out the childish comical element
Spying on the parents, not wanting to face them

The TV Drama Genre

I think 'Teachers' is a Comedy Drama. This is because It is a hybrid because it has elements of comedy and also elements of reality in it. This is suited to TV rather than a film because as you get to know the characters better which makes it funnier. There is also ongoing things continuing in the storyline such as Simon's fantasy for Jenny that you wouldn't understand unless you had watched it from the beginning of the series. It also reminds me of a soap a but because it shows whats happening daily.

Representation

Representation is the way the media makes a subject look or sound for an audience. The way people are represented can be adapted to any audience to make the character be perceived in any way they want.
Gender, age, race and disability can all be represented but not true for everybody. A typical male would be represented as: Tough, Toned, Deep voice and very masculine. A typical female would be represented as small, fragile, high voice, shy.
