HOMEWORK ON CLASS AND STATUS

Here is a clip to provide you with stimulus regarding the representations of class in the media. However, it is nearly 50 years old so perhaps some of the ideas are out of date.





Your task for homework is to find examples either in the form of video clips or still images from UK Television drama which you can analyse demonstrating to us that you have understood how class representations are created.

You need to have:

• upper class
• middle class
• working class

You can also as extension look at:

• underclass

Please remember that your focus is on HOW the representations are created through the Media Languages: visual, aural, verbal, non-verbal and written. Use the appropriate terminology for these media languages including Mise En Scene, shot types, sizes, angles and movement, diegetic/non-diegetic sound, denotation, connotations, choices of props, costumes, make-up, lighting etc.

Work should be completed by THURSDAY the 17th February.
