Regional Identity

Stereotypes and Countertypes

Scottish 

One of the stereotypes of Scottish people is that they all have ginger hair. This stereotype has been created due to the fact that a lot of people in Scotland are ginger. However, not that many people are ginger compared to the population of Scotland and it is a stereotype that has been exaggerated.

• A stereotype is Amy out of Doctor Who. She is the Doctors companion that is ginger and Scottish meaning that she fits this stereotype.
• A countertype is Connor from Waterloo Road. This is a TV drama that is based in a school involving school children and teachers. Connor is a Scottish school boy who is brunette therefore being the counter-type of a Scottish ginger person. 

Another stereotype of Scottish people is that they are aggressive and violent. This is a stereotype that may make a lot of people afraid of Scottish people and shines a bad light on them.

• An example of this stereotype is Cameron who is a character out of Hollyoaks. As soon as he was introduced to the soap he tried to kill another character. He also threatens people in order to get what he wants. 
• A countertype of this stereotype is Imogen who is a school girl from Waterloo Road. She has never been aggressive or violent to anybody and is therefore the opposite of this stereotype.

The third stereotype of Scottish people is that they drink a lot and are often drunk. Scottish people do not drink anymore than other people but this is a stereotype that is well known for people who are Scottish, especially the men.

• An example of this stereotype is Christine Mulgrew who is the head teacher out of Waterloo Road. She is a Scottish person who is also an alcoholic therefore supporting the stereotype.
• A countertype is Audrey McFall. She is also a teacher from Waterloo Road but does not drink meaning that she is the counter-type of this stereotype.

Liverpool

The first stereotype of Liverpudlian people is that they are thieves. This means that the steal and are therefore criminals. This is a negative stereotype of Liverpudlians and may make other people fearful of them.

• An example of this stereotype is Barry Barry who is a character from Waterloo Road. He is a schoolboy who is from Liverpool but lives in Scotland. He steals a lot and takes part in a lot of criminal activity. His father is also currently in prison from armed robbery which further shows this stereotype.
• A countertype is Dynasty Barry who is also out of Waterloo Road. She is the sister of Barry Barry and is also the complete opposite. She does not not believe in her brother being a criminal and is in fact inspiring to be in the police force, therefore being the countertype.

The second stereotype of people from Liverpool is that that all take drugs. This is another extremely negative view of people who are from Liverpool and shines a very bad light on Liverpool as a whole.

• An example of this stereotype is Finn O'Connor who is a schoolboy from Hollyoaks. He has taken drugs and is in prison. This shows that he is an example of this stereotype.
• A countertype is Dianna O'Connor who is Finn's mother in Hollyoaks. She has never taken drugs and disapproves of Finns criminal lifestyle.

Another stereotype of Liverpudlian people is that they are all big football fans. This is not a negative stereotype and may not affect the city as much as the other but it is something that is not entirely true and has been said about people who are from Liverpool.

• A stereotype is Kacey Barry who is a school girl from Waterloo Road. She loves to both play and watch football and is therefore a big football fan. She had to face a lot of discrimination when trying to join the football team but didn't give up which shows her true love of football.
• A countertype is Carol Barry who is Kacey's mother. She is not a football fan and is therefore the opposite of this stereotype.

Newcastle

The first stereotype of people who are from Newcastle is they are violent. This is a stereotype that portrays Geordies in a very negative light. This can make other people scared of people who are from Newcastle as they believe they are all violent.

Another stereotype of Geordies is that they are loud. This may be a stereotype that has been created from the shows that have been made of people who are from Newcastle and is something that has been put with all of the people from there.

• A stereotype is Charlotte Crosby who is out of the reality show 'Geordie Shore'. She is a person from Newcastle who is typically known for being very loud.

The third stereotype of people who live in Newcastle is that they are often getting drunk. Geordies are shown to always be at the pub or clubs and getting as drunk as they can. This is yet probably another stereotype that has been created from shows that feature people from Newcastle.

• An example of this stereoytpe is Vicky Pattison who is someone who is in the show 'Geordie Shore'. She often gets drunk and going out with her friends.

Yorkshire

The first stereotype of people who are from Yorkshire is that that are all farmers. This means that they are all seen to dress how stereotypical farmers dress and also how they speak. This may have been created through the fact that farming is popular there or it may have been created through the typical Yorkshire accent.

• An example of this stereotype is Andy Sugden who is a character from Emmerdale. He is a farmer and is therefore an example of this stereotype.
• A countertype of this stereotype is Cain Dingle. He is a countertype as he is a mechanic and not a farmer. This shows that not all people from Yorkshire are farmers. 

Another stereotype of people who are from Yorkshire is that they are tight with money and do not like spending money. There is a saying that is "a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with all the generosity squeezed out of him" this refers to people from Yorkshire being tighter than people who are from Scotland, which is another stereotype.

• A stereotype is Zak Dingle who is a character out of Emmerdale. He is shown to be very tight with money and dislikes having to spend money on things. 

The third stereotype of people who are from Yorkshire is that that are very argumentative. This is a negative stereotype of people who are from Yorkshire and is something that may may make people view these people in a bad way.

• An example of this stereotype is also Zak Dingle. He is known for being argumentative and violent so is shown to be a key example of this stereotype.
• An example of a countertype of this stereotype is Alicia Gallagher who is also a character out of Emmerdale. She is not a character that is seen to be argumentative so is therefore a countertype.

Birmingham

The first stereotype of people who are from Birmingham is that they are un-intelligent. They are shown to be stupid and not as clever as other people. This is a stereotype that may affect how Brummies feel as they may not think they are as good as people who come from different parts of the United Kingdom. This stereotype has come from the Birmingham accent as people feel as though the way in which Brummies speak sounds unintelligent.

The second stereotype of Brummies is that they are criminals. Birmingham is seen as a 'rough' city and therefore the people that live there are also seen as being 'rough'.

Another stereotype of people from Birmingham is that most of them are unemployed. People from Birmingham are seen to not have a job and just live off of benefits. This may have been a stereotype that has been created from the stereotype of them being stupid.

Welsh

The first stereotype of welsh people is that they are not that clever. They are seen and shown to be quite stupid and not know a lot.

• A stereotype is Stacey who is a character out of Gavin and Stacey. She is a welsh women who is shown to not have much common sense and also not do the cleverest things

Another stereotype of Welsh people is that they are all obsessed with Rugby. This stereotype may have came from a lot of welsh people strongly supporting their rugby team.

The third stereotype of Welsh people is that they are all good at singing. This may be from popular welsh singers that have implanted the thought that all people that come from Wales are good at singing.

• A stereotype is Bryn West who is a character out of Gavin and Stacey. He is Welsh and is also a really good singer..
• A countertype is Stacey Shipman who is also a character out of Gavin and Stacey. She is Welsh but is not a good singer showing that she is the countertype of this stereotype.

Irish

A stereotype of Irish people is that they are always happy. This stereotype gives the image that Irish people are always jolly and good company to be around. It does not give the impression that they are ever sad or unhappy.

• A countertype is Brendan Brady. He is an Irish character from Hollyoaks. He is not a character who is seen to be happy all of the time and dislikes a lot of people. He is therfore the countertype of this stereotype.

Another stereotype of people who are from Ireland is that they drink a lot. This is a stereotype that makes people believe that all of the people from Ireland drink a lot more often and a lot more than people who are from different parts of the world.

• A stereotype is Mrs Brown who is a character from the comedy 'Mrs Browns Boys'. She is shown to drink a lot and get drunk often.

The third stereotype of Irish people is they love potatoes. This is a stereotype that is not negative and does not make people think about Irish people in a negetive way.

London

The third stereotype of people who are from London is that they are antisocial. This means that they do not want to talk to anyone and would much rather get on with what they have o do without being disturbed. This stereotype may have been created through the fact that London is a big city where everyone is rushing around and nobody really stops to talk to other people.

• A stereoytpe is Phil Mitchell who is a character out of Eastenders. Phil only likes to talk his family and friends and does not like to be bothered. It is very rare that you see him at a social gathering.
• A countertype is Mick Carter who is a character out of Eastenders. He is the pub landlord so speaking to people is part of the job that he has. However, he does enjoy talking to people so is therefore the countertype.

The second stereotype of Londoner is that they are criminals. This stereotype may have been created through the high crime rate in London as it is the capital city of England and would have been applied to all of the people from London. This is a negative stereotype that give a bad image of people who live in London.

• A stereotype Ben Mitchell who is also out of Eastenders and is Phil's son. He is a murderer and has spent time in prison. He is therefore a good example of this stereotype.
• A countertype Abbie Branning who is a character out of Eastenders. She is not a criminal and had never taken part in any criminal activity showing that she is the countertype of this stereotype.

Another stereotype of people who are from London is that they are all rich. This is because London is an expensive place to live in so the thought is that you must have a lot of money to live there.

• A stereotype is also Phil Mitchell. He has a successful career and therfore has a lot of money. He is able to pay people a lot of money for them to do things for him,
• A countertype is Alfie Moon who is a character out of Eastenders. He is struggling for money and currently does not have anything. 

Essex

The first stereotype of people who are from Essex is that they are all fake. This means that they have fake hair, fake nails, fake body features, fake tan, etc. This is a stereotype that may have been created through 'reality' programmes that have been created there and it something they has been applies to all of the people who live in Essex.

• A stereotype is Chloe Simms who stars in the reality show 'The Only Way is Essex'. She loves having fake hair, fake nails, fake tan, etc. and has had plastic surgery. She also has released her own fake tan and has her own salon resulting in her being a key example of this stereotype.
• An example of a countertype is Gavin who is a character out of Gavin and Stacey. He is from Essex but does not care about his appearance and is not 'fake'.

Another stereotype of Essex people is that they are not intelligent. This may have been made through the way in which they talk and their accent but is a stereotype that makes people think that if someone is from Essex, they are stupid.

• An example of this stereotype is Joey Essex who is Chloe Simms cousin and also someone who started on The Only Way is Essex. Joey Essex is known for his lack of intelligence and overall general knowledge. He has used this to become more known and more successful through other shows such as 'Educating Joey Essex''. This shows that he is a key example for this stereotype.
• A countertype is Jessica Wright who is also someone who stars in the reality show 'The Only Way is Essex'. She is not shown to be stupid and she is shown to have common sense.

The third stereotype of people who are from Essex is that they have a lot of money. This is a stereotype that may have also been created through shows that have been make there but it is a stereotype that makes it seem as though all people from Essex have a lot of money that they spend on things to make themselves look better.

• A ster0eotype is Gemma Collins who stars in the reality show 'The Only Way is Essex'. She has managed to make a lot of money from being in the show but then off of the success has been able to open her shop and clothing range which she will be making even more money off of.
• A countertype is Smithy who is a character out of Gavin and Stacey. He is from Essex but does not have a lot of money and is typically known for being working class.

Ethnicity

Key Themes in Racial Representation:

Exotic

To be exoctic means to be seen as different and unusual. It is a way of showing people to be 'the other', to not fit it. To see people as exotic, people view people from what is called 'the white eye'. This means that people are seen through a white persons point of view. This could have a big impact of people trying to fit in in certain societys if they are not seen as being 'normal'.

Dangerous

This is when people are seen as being a threat to society. They are also seen to take advantage of society. This theme has been created through ignorance and people not understanding different ethnicity. This also shows peoples underlying racism and the prejudice and discrimination that people are faced with.

Humourous
In the 70's it was popular for race to be used for comedy purposes. Programmes removed the threat of races by making them to butt of the joke. Also, in modern programmes that are made by ethnic minorities, they use the programme to  laugh at themselves.

Pitited
Deprived groups or victims of natural disasters such as famine, flood, conflicts etc. are part of the type of people that are pitied. This is mostly used by charity advertising campaigns that use images of children that are suffering in order to gain sympathy and therefore money.

Sexualised
Often, black men are shown to be sexually violent and therefore are a threat to women. Men and women from ethnic groups are also often seen as sexual objects which can also be linked to the theory of the gaze.

Representation of Ethnicity- Hotel Babylon

Poolside
First, there is a two person shot where we see a black man handing a white man a book. We can see here that the black man is the person who works at the hotel as he is in a suit and is being polite to the person who is staying at the hotel. He then walks away and says 'hello' to another customer. From this, we can see that this character is polite and enjoys his job. We get the impression that he is middle class as he looks well dressed and by the way that he speaks.
He then walks on to be greeted by another person who is also staying at the hotel, who is also black. He comes out of the pool shouting 'Ben!''I thought it was you earlier bro!'. This shows how people from the same race are able to be completely different and how people may expect all black men to talk like the other man and not Ben. When Ben sees his friend, he looks awkward and looks around. This could show that he doesn't want people to know about his past and doesn't want people to know what he used to be like. However, he could not also want his friend to see that he has changed and works in a hotel.
Ben replies to his friend by saying 'Tel, how are you man?'. He has changed the way that he speaks from how he spoke to the customer to how he spoke to his friend. This could show how black people feel like they need to change in order to feel as though they can fit in in society. He also changes his body-language and bends over a little rather than standing up straight. He also looks quite sad and as though he doesn't want to be there when he is speaking to his friend.
When Ben tries to leave to go to his desk his friend says '7 years man, this calls for a party''plenty of booze, girls''just like the old days'. There are close ups of Ben's face when his friend is saying this and he is looking scared and as though he really does not want to have a party. This could show that he doesn't like the person that he used to be and he doesn't want to go back to being that person. However, his friend is making out like his main objective of the party is to sleep with a lot of girls, which is making him seem like a stereotype of black men. 
When Ben agrees to a party, his friend says 'that's the old Benjamin right there'. There is then a zoom in on Benjamin's face to show his fear at what has just been said. This emphasis's that fact that he does not like his past and he doesn't want to be the person he used to be, he likes the person he is now.
There is then music that carries on the next scene. This use of non-digetic sound could be used to show the danger in both scenes. This is because the music sounds quite haunting and as though something bad is going to happen.
Overall, this scene is used to show the difference in one race and how stereotypes are not accurate when there are such vast differences between people that may have been grouped together otherwise.

The Cleaners
In this scene, there are two Spanish women that work as cleaners in the hotel, the beginning of the scene is them in a corridor about to enter a room.
As the women are about the enter the room, the older woman says to the younger one 'He pays double, for double'. This gives the impression that they would do anything for money and that money is all they care about. However, the younger woman does not look comfortable with what she is being told but continues to go into the room anyway. This could show hoe even though she does not want to strip, she still wants the money.
There in Chinese man sitting on the bed in his dressing gown, this is the customer that they were talking about outside. This may give the impression to some people that old, Chinese men are perverts and are all like this man. As he is sitting on the bed, it shows that he is comfortable with this situation and that he is used to it. It shows that he is ready to watch the women take off their clothes and therefore only sees them as objects.
The man points to the money that is on the table and there is a close up of it. This emphasises the fact that money is all the women care about and they are happy to strip for this man as long as they get paid for it. 
After there is the close up of the money, there is a close up of one of the women's face and she looks happy after seeing the money. This could suggest that she is used to this as she knows what to do before she begins to remove her clothes. It also reinforces the fact that money is all she cares about which gives the impression that all Spanish women are like this and that they are all money-driven.
The man then begins to play music. He plays Lady Marmalade which is a sexual song as it is about someone wanting to sleep with another person. This shows the sexual nature of this activity and the audience begins to understand what they are actually going to do because before they may have not understood fully. The song is also about Moulin Rouge, which is about stripping.When this music begins to play, the women start to strip. However, the younger woman is reluctant and we can see that she doesn't want to.
When the younger women decides that she really does not want to strip for this man, she says 'I'm sorry, I can't' and walks out. The fact that she feels as though she has to apologise shows the fact that people may not respect Spanish women as much as they should. This is because she is not seen to be a person and in fact an object that is being made to take her clothes off for money.
This scene is also used to show the differences between people that come from the same country as one is OK with stripping but the other is not.

The Kitchen 
At the begging of this scene, there is a white man and women walking down a corridor. Everybody is moving around them as they walk straight down the middle of everybody. This shows that these characters are important as they do not move out of the way for anybody that is in the corridor.
They then walk into the kitchen where we are able to see all of the staff that work there. They walk over to an Italian man who looks like he inportant in the kitchen. This fits the stereotype that all Italian people are good cooks and that they all love food. He greets them politely by saying 'Welcome, Madame'. This gives the impression that he is a nice person and that he is polite. This also fits the stereotype that all Italian people are friendly.
There is then a close up of another British man that works in the kitchen. He shakes his head as the Italian man is talking to the other characters. This gives the impression that he is rude as we do not yet understand what he finds wrong with the other man being polite to the woman. This gives the impression that British people are rude.
The Italian man then goes over to the British man and kisses him on the forehead after saying 'It is so good to see my old friend again'. This makes us curious as we originally got the impression that they do not like each other as the British man was shaking his head as he was speaking. However, this also reinforces the fact that he is friendly and kind to people.
When the two original characters leave the room, the two other characters begin to argue and we see a different side to the Italian man as he insults the British man. We begin to sympathies with the British man and understand why he disliked him.
The Italian man then grabs a knife which shows us that this has gone to far and is getting more serious than just some name calling. This gives the impression that all Italian people seem nice but are actually mean and violent. He then says 'do you want to make something of this?' which shows his threatening behavior.
This scene is used to emphasis the fact that stereotypes are not correct and can give a deceiving perception of someone just because of the country that they are from. It shows how people may be the complete opposite to the person that we all think they are.


How Ethnicity Links to the Other 6 Areas of Representation
Age
The age of the person may change how the person is judged on their ethnicity. For example, an elderly person is much less likely to be seen as dangerous and a threat to society than a teenager based on other stereotypes. Children are also more likely to be pitied than adults so this is why children are used for charity adverts.

Gender
The gender of the person may affect how they are viewed. For example, black men are the people that are more likely to be seen as rapist opposed to black women. Men are also more likely to be seen as dangerous and a threat to society as they are seen to be the more powerful gender and can therefore do more harm.

Sexuality
In some religions, being gay is highly frowned upon and it is seen to be wrong. This means that it is very unlikely for people from this religions to be gay meaning that the majority of that religion is straight. If a programme wants a story-line, they often make a character, who is that religion, become gay so the audience is able to watch the struggle that man or woman has to go through.

Class and Status
In some cases and in some places, white people are seen to be a higher class and typically middle class. They are seen to speak 'posher' and to be richer. This may be because places, such as Britain, are classed as first world countries and Britain is a primarily white country.

Regional Identity
Some places have more of a range of ethnicities than others. This means that it may be more likely for an ethnicity to come from one region of the country than an other.

Disability
Disability does not have a link to ethnicity. this is because all ethnicities have some people who have a disability.

Class and Status

Stereotypes

There are three different categories that people are spit into depending on the amount of money they make and where they are classed in society. These are upper class, middle class and working class. The main two and the two classes that the majority of people are split in to are middle class and working class. Middle class people are the people who are classed as better off andv have enough money to make a good living for themselves, they do not have to struggle or worry about money. Working class people are known to be the people who may have to worry about money and are the people who cannot afford to buy as much as middle class people. There are people that are a different levels of these classes also. This may be that they are classed to be working class but they have no concerns about money and scan still afford to buy and do things that middle class people can. On the other side of working class are the people who can just about to make enough money to enable them to stay with a roof over their head and do not have enough money to afford to feed themselves. 

Upper Class

The social group that has the highest status in society, especially the aristocracy.

1. Upper class people are stereotypically known as the group of people who are the most well dressed and dress in a posh and formal manner. They would never be seen in everyday clothing, such as jeans as this is what they are normally shown to wear. They are either shown to be dressed in old fashioned clothing or high quality modern clothes such as suits and dresses. This is because this is how they are shown to dress and how they would show that they have a lot of money.
2. People who are upper class and stereotypically shown to have their own business that is very successful and they are able to live off of the profit that this makes. This therefore makes them a good business person as they have managed to make a lot of money from what would have started as a small, unknown business.
3. The third stereotype of upper class people is that the children go to a private or boarding school. This is because this is known to be the schools where the best education is provided. It is also expensive to send you children to these places so this is why upper class people are able to pay for the fees of the school.
4. Upper class people are known to always speak in standard English and have a 'posh' accent. They would not be seen to swear or use any slang. They are stereotypically known to always speak 'properly' and normally use complex words that other people may not know or understand.
5. Another stereotype for upper class people is that as well as living in big houses, they also have holiday homes abroad. This is because they are known for often going abroad and so they would prefer to go to their own house. This is also because they have a lot of money which they are able to spend on other houses outside of the country. They may also have apartments that are in cities such as London where they are able top stay if they need to go there a lot for their business.

Middle Class

The social group between the upper and working classes, including professional and business people and their families.

1. The first stereotype of middle class people is that they are financially stable. They have enough money to be able to afford the things that are necessary in everyday life, for example food. They do not have to worry about not having enough money. They normally have a good sized house that they own, one or two cars and they are able to go abroad on a holiday at least once a year.
2. The second stereotype of middle class people is that they have a good job. This is one they normally requires a degree. This may be a doctor, dentist, an office job etc. or they may have their own business that is successful. Typically, it is a job that gives a good wage that does not require extremely long hours.
3. Another stereotype of middle class people is that they are usually families. This is normally a family of four which consists of two parents and two children. There is not normally a single parent that is classed as being middle class. These families may consists of both of the parents working or a stay at home mother. However, it is very rare that the father is the parent that stays at home.
4. Middle class people are stereotypically known to be clever. This is because they would have had to be able to go to university to be able to get a good and well paid job. Their children are also shown to be intelligent as they do well in school and follow in their parents footsteps by also going to university and also getting a well paid job.
5. Middle class people shown to dress smartly. They may not dress as smartly as upper class people but they dress more smartly that working class people. This is because middle class people have a good job or their own business so they need to dress smartly in order to be respected by the people that they work with.

Working Class

This is the social group that consists of people who are employed for wages, especially in manual or industrial work.

1. The first stereotype of working class people is that they are on benefits. This means that they are relying on money from the government rather than having a job and making the money themselves. This then also gives the impression that they are lazy as they are shown to be not bothered about going out and looking for work and they feel as though they are better off living on money that is  being given to them. 
2. Another stereotype of people who are working class is that if they do have a job then it is a manual one that is unpleasant and that they do not get a lot of money for. They are normally working at minimum wage or not enough for everyday life, especially if they are a parent. They are shown to have to work long hours to be able to make enough money to keep a roof over their head. Sometimes, they may even be shown to have to work more than one job because they are unable to make enough money from just one.
3. Another stereotype is that people who are working class are criminals or live in an area where there is high crime rate. This is because this is where the cheapest houses are and working class people are shown to be desperate so will live anywhere where they are able to live in a house, no matter what the area is like. This is normally because of the people who live here will be working class and these people are seen to be the people who are criminals. This is because it is stereotypically shown that the parents do not teach that this is wrong so the children go out and commit the crimes. It may also be because if they do not have enough money then they feel as though they have to go out and either steal food to each or steal things which they are able to sell to make money to buy food.
4. The fourth stereotype is that people who are working class do worse in school and normally end up getting bad results meaning they are unable to get a good job causing them to be stuck in the cycle of poverty. People who are working class are shown to get into the wrong group of people meaning that they do not pay attention in school and this is how they end up with bad grades. This is also often shown if the parents are on benefits meaning that the child will see this and just feel as though they would also rather be on benefits than getting a job.
5. People who are working class are often shown to be violent. This may be to strangers, people they know or even to their own family. They are often the people who end up in physical fights or are the people who are bullies or who are the people who participate in domestic violence. The violence is normally not shown to be caused by anything but is often just shown to be a trait inside of people who are working class.

Representation of Class- Shameless

Camera Shots/Angles
Walking Down the Stairs(Mid-Shot)- At the beginning of the clip, the dad walks down the stairs to join the rest of his family which are all in the same room. As he is walking down the stairs, this may be used to show how all of the characters are on the same level and how even though he is their dad, it does not mean that he is in charge of them. This is because we would naturally think that he has the higher authority as he is the parent but this clip is making a point by saying that he doesn't. This may be used to show how working class parents may not be taken as seriously as middle class parents.
Establishing Shot- There is an establishing shot which shows four of the characters and a baby sitting around a table. The table is full alcohol bottles as well as things that they are using for their breakfast. Their surroundings are messy and cluttered and there are empty alcohol cans a bottles everywhere. This may be used to show that the dad may be an alcoholic or may drink a lot which is stereotypical for a working class person. Also, by the messy house this may also be implying that they are working class as they do not take care of their home.
Hand Held Camera- The whole of the clip is filmed using a camera that is being hand held. This is therefore making the scene shaky and a little chaotic. This is used to show how the family is chaotic and is not your usual family. It may also be used to show the shaky relationships between the characters and how they may not have a tight bond. This may be used to show how people who are working class have a harder life than those who are middle or upper class. Their life may be a little more chaotic and not run as smoothly.
Zoom In- There is a zoom in on the male character who is wearing the grey hoodie. This is as he says 'bollocks' in reply to what his dad is saying. This zoom is quick and sudden and may be to show how suddenly the dad is listening to what he has to say because he has grabbed his attention.
Over the Shoulder- The shots where the camera is focusing on the mans children are over the shoulder shots. This is the shoulder of the father and is showing the rest of the room which consists of four of his children and the baby. This may be used to show how all of the characters are focused on their dad as they want to know what he has to say and probably therefore respect him. However, it may also be used to show how they are all ganging up against him and they are all on one side and he is on the other. This is because this shows the distance between the characters to the father and the characters together.

Music at Beginning(Non-Digetic)- This music is quite slow and mysterious. This may be to show that the characters do not really know what is going on or the man may not understand the situation. It is also quite relaxing which may be used to show the peace between the family and how they are comfortable with each other.
Music(Non-Digetic)- The music that is played when the children are telling their dad how they only want him is quite calm and tribal. This may be used to show how all of the people are suddenly calm and at peace with each other. The dad has realised that they are on his side and only care about him. The music being slightly tribal also may be used to show ow they are all a team and how they are united, like a tribe is. 
Music(Non-Digetic)- This is the music that is played whilst the characters are outside of the house watching the caravan coming off of the truck. The music is quite happy and upbeat which may be to show the mood of the characters. This may be because they are going to sell the caravan and therefore make money  which may make their life a little easier. This may make them excited and happy which would therefore mean why the music is like this.
'Is this a family I see before me?'(Digetic Sound)- This is the first piece of speech we hear from the clip and is what the father says whilst looking at his family before him. He says this with his arms held open and in a tired-like voice. Automatically, we get the impression that this character is drunk because we do not yet understand what he means and we get this impression also by the way that he is talking. This could be used to show our automatic assumptions that we may make of people who are working class because we may automatically think that this character is an alcoholic.
'There is no way that you would volounteer to be without your family'(Digetic Sound)- This is what the eldest son says to his father. This shows how working class families are close and do depend on each other. This may be because they do not have a lot of money so do not have a lot of things meaning that their families may be closer than most.
'Why, where the stables too small?'- This is what the father says to his daughter when she says that she didn't want to move house anyway. He is saying this as he believes that his daughter wants too much off of him and that she is spoilt. It could also be used to show how working class people always want more and arn't happy with what they have. However, having horses is typically a middle class thing so the father could also be mocking middle class people as this is something that may matter to them.


Editing
Greed, Me- There are a series of clip where the dad is saying 'greed' and 'me'. These clips have been put together quickly and the camera has been tilted a different way in each of them. This may be used to show the anger in the dad and how he is annoyed at what his children are saying. This could be suggesting that working class parents get annoyed at the amount of things their children want because they are able to afford it and it may make them feel like a worse parent because of it.

Mise-en-Scene
Messy House- We are able to see that the house is very messy when there is an establishing shot. Having a messy house may be used to suggest that working class people do not care about the surroundings they live in. It could also suggest that they are lazy as they do not want to clean up after themselves. Also, the house is covered in empty alcohol which suggest that working class people tend to drink a lot and supports the stereotype that they are alcoholics.
Clothes-All of the characters are even in a hoodie, a tracksuit or their pajamas. This is all of the items of clothing that working class people stereotypically wear. The characters that are wearing the pajamas could be used to show how they do not have a job which is anouther stereotype of working class people.
Teenage Mother- The female teenager in this clip has a baby that we presume is hers. As she is a young, single mother, this fits the stereotype that we think of teenage girls that are working class. This gives the impression that all working class teenagers are young parents and therefore are more likely to then be working class themselves.
The Caravan- The caravan is the thing that they have been left to them in a will. This is what the children thought was the house and they believed it was. This could be used to show how working class people do not get anything handed to them and have to work for everything that they want. It may also show how nothing goes right for them because this is not what they expected.
£40 and dept- The dad thought that he would be able to get a lot of money for the caravan if he sold it, however he only ended up with £40. This is because his auntie owed a lot of money to people and the money had to be taken away from the money from the caravan. This could be used to show how no matter how hard working class people try, nothing turns out how they expected.

How Class and Status Links to the Other 6 Areas of Representation

Age

All ages of people are able to be in all of the three different classes. Children are able to be upper class, middle class or working class but this depends on how much money their parents have, they do not make a difference to which class they are in. Children are shown to act more spoilt and bratty if they are in a higher class to those children who may be working class. Working class children are shown to be more grateful and thankful for things as they are not used to having as much as children who are in a higher class. However, the personalities of the children do vary throughout the classes but this is stereotypical and what is mostly shown. Older people are shown to be better off than those who are younger as they have had longer to make money and have had more time to become successful.

Gender

Men are normally the people who are more successful and known to be the gender who make the most money. This is because men are more respected in the business world and this may mean they have a higher chance of their business becoming successful and they therefore have a lot more money. Men also are paid more than women meaning that even if they have the same job, men will be making the most money. In a family, it is stereotypically known that the man is the person who works to earn money and the women is the person who stays at home and looks after the children.

Sexuality

People of any sexuality can be as successful or unsuccessful as anyone else. The sexuality of a person does not normally determine what class they are. This means that these two areas of representation are not linked.

Ethnicity

The ethnicity of a person does not determine how successful they are. This is because nobody judges people on their ethnicity and everyone is seen to be equal. People of all ethnicity's are treated equal and it will be their drive and motivation on what makes them what class they are. This means that ethnicity and class and status are not linked.

Regional Identity

Where someone lives may determine what class they are in. This may be because there are better jobs in one place to another or because people from a certain area may not be as respected. People live in different places depending on their class also because of the price of the houses whether that be if they want to buy one or rent it. People who are working class may also live in houses provided by the council meaning that they do not really have much choice in where they live and they will live in an area which will mostly be owned by the council meaning that that group of people will all be working class. Normally, different places may have a mix of middle and working class living there but the different areas within that place may have just middle class or just working class people. 

Disability

Disability does not really make a difference in what class that person is. The stereotype that the person with the disability is may make a difference in their class and status though. For example, if they are pitiable then they may become more successful as people feel like they are obliged to help them more than people who have not got a disability. There is also positive discrimination which means that people with a disability may be more likely to get a job or have a more successful business than people without a disability because people naturally feel as though they have to treat people with a disability better.

Disability in TV Drama

Disability Stereotypes

1. The first stereotype of people who are disabled are pitiable or pathetic. This is the most common stereotype of disability. This is when disabled people are shown to be faced with prejudice or difficulty so are given pity. It is used a lot on TV drama because it is the easiest stereotype to use. This is because it is easy to make people feel sorry for the people who are disabled because it is already naturally in us. It is the way people present people who are disabled when they do not fully understand.
2. Another stereotype is the object of curiosity or violence. This is when disabled people are presented as unusual. It is when disability is seen as something that should be observed and viewed as their difference is highlighted and presented in a way that people have to pay attention to it. It means that non-disabled people and disabled people are viewed as being different when they are not at all.
3. The next stereotype is called the 'super cripple'. This is when people who have a disability are in the position of admiration despite them having a disability. This is seen as patronising in some ways as people are admiring them more because they have a disability.
4. People with a disability are also sometimes used for humour purposes. This is because people may have pleasure in the misfortune of others. Disability has also been seen as a source of humour since the Ancient Greeks.
5. Another stereotype of disabled people are that they are sinister or evil. Scarring and disability are used as short cut for evil. This means that it is the easy option and people may already presume this anyway which is also because they do not understand. Scarring or disability are also often used to signify violence and anger.
6. One of the stereotypes that are presented of disabled people are that they are a burden. They are made to look as though people have to look after them and this makes their life hard. This is an extremely negative stereotype of disabled people as it will make them feel a lot worse than they may already do. This may be shown in a way that means that the family of the disabled person has to look after them and do a lot for them and it is having a negative affect on their life.

The Street- Representation of Scarring 

Camera Shots
Metal Fence- There is a close up on a metal fence at the beginning of this clip. This may be used to show how the characters disability has trapped him and how he feels like a prisoner in his own body. As it looks like we are on the outside of the fence and looking in this may be trying to show that he is alone and everybody is on the other side of the fence so therefore not trapped and not debilitated by his scarring.
Two Person Shot- There is a shot that shows two characters, the main character and the man in the van. This is where the camera is moving from behind one person to the other but keeping both of the characters in shot. This is so that we are able to see the conversation but also see the faces of the two characters. Here, we are able to see that the main characters has a little bit of scarring on his face but are unable to see the full extent of it. This may be trying to show that his scars do not matter to the person that he is talking to and he still sees him as the person he was before. 
Close Up- There is a close up of the main character where we see the scarring and how bad it is. This shot may be used to allow the audience to see this in detail before the rest of the drama happens. This may also be used to show that the character that he is going to talk to does care about his scars and he is going to treat him differently because of it. This is the shot that happens before the main character goes on to ask for his job back. This may be trying to show that the man does not want to give his job back, maybe because of what he looks like. This shows how people with scarring get treated a lot differently to other people which therefore leads the audience on to pity the main character.
Woman chasing man- There is a shot where the female character is chasing Nick, the main character, up the street to try and explain the real reason why she screamed. As the street is on the hill, he is shown to be higher than the woman. This shows that, in this moment of time, Nick is more powerful than the woman which is backed up by the fact that she is chasing him. This is because she screamed and feels terrible for doing so so was trying to explain why this happened. As Nick feels as though it is because of his scars, he walks away and doesn't want to hear, what he thinks are, the excuses. This shows the she feels different about him because if it was someone who did not have any scarring then she would have just said that they frightened her and that would have been the last of it. The camera is also very shaky as it is being hand held. This is trying to show how they may have had a good friendship before but now it is shaky and facing difficulty because they do not know how to react to each other now that Nick has bad facial scarring.
Strangers- When Nick is walking down the street, there as mid-shots of strangers looking at him and staring. These shots are to show how people feel the need to look at him and make him feel different to everybody else. This shows that he is being shown as a object of curiosity as people will probably be wondering how he got such bad facial scarring.
Hand Held Camera- When Nick is talking to the Sargent the camera is being hand held. This makes the shots shaky and a little chaotic. This may be trying to show the fact that other people would not agree with him and say that he is ugly or tell him other things that may hurt his feeling and make him feel worse like the Sargent does. The shakiness would therefore be trying to show the audience unease with what he is saying and the fact that this is not what we expected to be said.

Sound
'It will be less than you were on before'- This is a part of the speech where Nick is asking for his job back and this is the response from the other man. This shows how he is being treated differently to how he was before and how he is now seen as less able. He is seen to be not as deservent as the wage that he was on before because of his scars. This is obviously not true as he still has the same skill set and is exactly the same person as he was when he was given the job that he was. This represents how people with scarring or a disability are treated differently by people who may have been their friends before the accident, if it was caused by an accident and they were not born with it.
'Fuck off'- In response to the other character telling him that he would get less money if he was to work for him again, he says 'fuck off'. This is to show is anger in the situation and how he hates being treated differently to how he was before. He is obviously angry at the whole situation already so the fact that he is unable to get his old life back is making it even worse for him. This is representing the fact that people who are in the same situation as Nick find it hard already so people treating them any different will have an even bigger effect on them.
Woman screaming- The woman, who Nick is helping by picking up her shopping, screams when she looks up and see Nick. This may be trying to show how people find scarring scary and frightening. This is Nick being shown as an object of curiosity and the women does not see him as normal person and she is not used to people looking how he does. 
'If it was George Clooney I would have screamed'- When the woman is trying to explain the reason why she screamed and trying to make it seem as though it has nothing to do with his scarring, she says this. This is because George Clooney is seen as attractive and she obviously sees him in this way. By her saying that she would have screamed at someone that she finds attractive, she is trying to explain it is not because of what he looks like. However, by her basing why she screamed on looks, it is making the situation worse as she is drawing attention in on his facial scars and implying that she may have screamed because of his scars.
Music- After the woman has stopped chasing him, music starts which is then carried on to when he is walking down the street with the strangers looking at him. This is loud music where we mostly hear drums. From this kind of music, we naturally hear the music as angry which then leads us on to believe that this is to represent his mood. He is angry that the accident happened to him and he is angry that he doesn't look the way that he looked before. He is angry that he made one of his friends scream when she looked at him. This is to show that people with scarring or a disability probably do get angry and frustrated at the fact that they are not treated like everyone else is and they just want to be seen as though they are equal to people who haven't got scarring or haven't got a disability.
'I'm Ugly now, you'd say I was ugly, wouldn't you?'- This is what Nick says to the Sargent when he is in his office. This shows he now sees himself as ugly where as he didn't before. He knows that he looks different because of his scars and he sees this in a extremely negative way. Normally, if people where asked this question they would disagree with him and say that he is not ugly. This would be either because the person who they are asking completely disagrees or they agree but do not want to hurt there feelings. However, the Sargent agrees with him and says that he does now see him as ugly. This is shocking as people normally change their opinions of someone if they have been in a bad accident and would normally naturally pity them. However, the Sargent didn't like him before so doesn't like him now and he's not going to tell him that he doesn't see Nick as not ugly if in fact he does. This is showing how people naturally pity people who have scarring or a disability even if we do not know that we do.
'I make women scream now'- This shows how Nick's life has changed and how it is very different to how it was before. It shows how people find scarring scary and how they are naturally frightened of things like this. People do not mean to be, they probably did not scream to hurt the feelings of Nick, but people are not used to seeing scars. This shows how things like this are not shown in the media or in TV programmes as much as they should be to make sure people are aware of situations like this. If people in popular TV programmes ended up in situations which lead them to have bad facial scarring then this would mean that when people saw people with bad facial scarring in the street, they would not have to feel the need to stare or even be scared.
'Opposed to the dickhead you used to be'- This is what the Sargent says to Nick which proves to us that he does not like him. However, by the words 'used to be' it shows that he does think Nick has changed and he is not seen as the same person. This shows how people with scarring are not treated as the same person they were before or the Sargent would have still said that he was a dickhead and not just that he used to be one.

Editing
Cross Cutting- Whilst Nick is talking to the man in the van, there is cross cutting that is showing each of the characters as they talk. This is a technique used to enable the audience to see the characters as they talk. However, by the drama showing both of the characters around about an equal amount of time it is showing that they believe that both of these characters are equal and that Nick should not be seen as different just because he has facial scarring. By them showing his face as he talks, it is showing that what he has to say is important and the audience should be paying attention to this.
Facial Expressions- Whilst Nick and the other two men are having a conversation about a

job, there are sections where the camera cuts to one of the other characters t show their facial expressions as Nick is not looking at them. This is to show what they really think of the situation but they do not want Nick to know this because they do not want to be seen to be mean to him. This is showing their attitude towards scarring as they do not want to look mean and as though they are treating him any different because of his scars but they are. This shows that they may pity him because they do not want his feeling to be hurt but they also see him as a object of curiosity as they are now viewing him as different to what he looked like before and he is seen to be unusual to them.
Jump Cut- There are jump cuts used when Nick runs to help the woman pick up her shopping. This is so that they are able to show all of the characters reaction to the speech that the woman is saying to Nick. However, by it being quick this may be trying to show how this conversation is out of hand and it may be trying to show how quick is jumping to conclusions on why the woman screamed. It may also be trying to show how quickly the woman has to find a good explanation to why she screamed. This may show how people have to act differently to people with scars because if it was anyone else that she screamed at, she may not be as worried about trying to defend herself and find an explanation.


Mise-en-Scene

Lighting in office- The lighting in the office where Nick is with the Sargent is dark and there is not a lot of natural light coming in. This means that it is harder to see the scarring on Nicks face. This may be trying to show that the people in the room do not care about the scars and they do not see him as any different because of it. How Nick looks now to the Sargent doesn't matter and he is not going to treat him as though he likes him more now because of it. The natural light is only the light that is able to get through the blinds that the Sragent has up on all of windows. This means that when the camera is focusing on Nick, there are lines all over his face. This may be trying to reinforce the fact that he is trapped in his own body and how he feels like a prisoner because of the scarring on his face. However, the light is also having this effect on the people that are behind Nick because this light is also shining on them. This may be trying to show that they also feel as though they cannot say anything because they would not want to offend him so this would also mean that they are trapped and unable to talk.

Clothing- The clothes that Nick wears are the typical clothing that most a lot of people wear. This is probably what he wore before he had the accident that caused him to have the scars that he has. This shows that he has not changed his personality just because now he looks different than he did before. This shows that people with scarring or a disability should not be treated any differently to anybody else because that is just their body and not who they really are.

How Disability Links to the Other 6 Areas of Representation

Gender
Disability links to gender because the way the disabled person is being represented may differ depending if they are male of female. This may be because women who have a disability may be pitted  more than men with a disability. People may find it easier to portray men in a certain way and women in a certain way. This may be because of the fact that people automatically feel a certain way or because it may be easier to make them feel a certain way.

Sexuality
People who have a disability are shown to be any sexuality. This is because they are the same as people who haven't got a disability so are able to be attracted to anyone. However, disabled people are not normally shown to be sexually active and their sexuality is not normally shown. The sexuality that the disabled person has may change the way that they are represented in TV drama. For example, a straight man may be more likely to be the 'super cripple' rather than a gay man. This is mostly based on how sexuality is seen rather than people with a disability.

Ethnicity
People who have a disability are shown to be any ethnicity. This is because this is how it is in real life too so they have to have a true representation of the real world. I think how the disabled person is represented is not based on the ethnicity of that person so ethnicity does not really link to ethnicity.

Age
The age of the person with the disability may affect how the character is portrayed. For example, a child is likely to be pitted and not be seen as evil. An older person may be portrayed as a burden to their family. This is because it is easier to change how a person with a disability is portrayed depending on their age because of the stereotypes that are already surrounding that certain age range.

Class and Status
People with disabilities are normally any class as they can be as successful or unsuccessful as an able-bodied person as they wish. However, the class that the person is may change the way that they are represented. For example, a person with a higher class and status may be more likely to be portrayed as evil whereas a person with a low class and status may be more likely to be portrayed as a burden or pitied.

Regional Identity
People who are disabled live in all different parts of the country so will be shown to have any regional identity. The way that they are represented does not really change depending on their regional identity either. This means that these two areas of representation are not linked.
