Waterloo Road - Kacey wins the football match - Sound Analysis

The clip begins with the non dietetic sound of a crowd clapping and cheering. The audience can easily identify that they are at a football match. The PE teacher is clearly helping his team and giving advice to make sure that his team win the match. The non diegetic sound of the whistle as the other team score indicate to the audience that Waterloo Road are losing, this is because the director has used close ups to highlight to the audience that they are losing. Throughout the clip the audience know that Kacey is the main character in this episode, by her sister saying "Come on Kacey", indicates to the audience that Kacey has people supporting her. As the match begins again there is a non diegetic sound of a soundtrack which is placed on top of the crowds cheering and the teachers wishing the team luck, this is played until the final of the match as Waterloo Road win the match. It then fades out as soon as Kacey is kissed by another girl.This is to highlight that something big has happened. This is because Kacey's brother says "Get your filthy hands off my sister". This has caused two big problems for Kacey as the other team didn't know that Kacey was a girl. The director has used pans and close ups to highlight the teams facial expressions to this problem. The clip then ends with depressing soundtrack which highlights Kacey's feelings to be sad and lost in the world as she says "I need to go".
