The beginning of the advert is shown in slow motion, when showing the boy described as 'The romantic' However the way in which he is shown, the audience portray him as being the opposite and 'geeky'. Even though he waves and smiles in a 'geeky' way, the girls waves back at him which gives the audience a false sense of hope for him, however he gets hit in the face with a football and ends up flat on his face in the mud. The mise-en-scene is him on a football pitch, even though he looks as though he has never played football, because of the way people are running around him and he is standing still, waving at the girl etc.

The next person to be shown to us is 'The genius'- who again seems to be the opposite of what he is described as, camera is shown spinning around the back of 'the genius, uncovering his parents who do not look amused, and a teacher who looks concerned for the boys mental health, the camera then cuts to a close up of 'the genius' who has a dopey and almost confused face.The next character is shown in slow motion though a long shot, as he winks and smiles as all the ladies the words 'ladies man' comes underneath him, yet the camera then flips to show his back, where a sticker is shown displaying the words 'I have no penis' then cuts back to his front, where he ironically looks chuffed.

The camera then continues without cutting to show the next character, 'the hero' trying to make a change through trying to give people papers to help him to be elected for school council, however his trousers are then pulled down by a pupil, and could be seen as ironic of a quick change of a super hero, from there false identity to there true one.The camera then cuts to the whole class, and shows all the characters described in the middle of the rest of the class hence 'inbetweeners' The teacher is shown right behind them which also shows how they can not be trusted and portrays them in a bad light.
Comparison and Contrast
The adverts of the three different series show how the program has gained a greater following throughout the years of it being on air, showing that they are able to push the boundaries even more and 'take the mickey' even more.
The characters are shown in a similar way through out the series's, but when it gets to the 3rd series, it seems as though the characters already show what they are like in terms of characteristics without actually having to say anything.
Each of the trailers show a 'bully' who seems to always get the main character, 'the hero', and his friends seem to laugh. However all the characters seem like outcasts yet he's the only one that seems as though he is not afraid to admit it.
I think it empathizes with people who are the outcasts of school, but still manage to seem cool to the audience as they are so funny, perhaps helping to make 'uncooler' kids look much more cool.
