3. Codes and Conventions
• The show has a realistic feel showing the day-to-day events at this airport.
However, a lot of the characters that are focused on are very bold and
unusual, in order to add to the comedic value of the show.
• The characters are interviewed about their jobs and what they are doing,
which mimics how a non-fictional documentary is created. However, the
answers can sometimes be a bit out of the ordinary to make the show
more humorous.
• Mostly non-diegetic sound is used which increases the realism. The show
combines real-life footage of an airport, such as aeroplanes taking off, and
footage filmed exclusively for the show featuring the main characters.
• A narrator is used to describe what is happening in each scene, similar to
many documentaries.
