Visual Codes
At the begging of the clip the audience sees clips from the previous series. This shows the characters looking either classy and well dressed, or very rough. The characters then go on to enter the Geordie Shore house for the first time this series, this shows them looking very attractive and well dressed  again. The characters within this TV program use a lot of body language. This is because the characters are usually very drunk and therefore use their hands when talking. Also, the people within this house are usually either very happy or miserable; a way in which this shows is through the characters body language.When the characters go in to the green room to talk directly to the public, the editors use graphics in the background. The only other time graphics are used is throughout the opening titles.

Technical codes
Throughout this TV program, the editors use a range of shots, from close up to extreme long shot. They do this as a close up can show a characters emotion, but an extreme long shot can show what's going on in the scene better. Whenever the characters are in the green room, the editors use a mid-shot. This is because the audience is only focusing on that specific character and there isn't a lot going on. Also, when they're in the green room, the editors used rule of thirds and place the character on one third instead of in the center. Whilst filming this TV program, the camera follows the characters and whenever they're in a car, the camera is placed upon the dash board. The scene changes by skipping from one to another, there's no animation used.
