Half Term Homework
Social class (or simply "class") is a set of concepts in which people are grouped into a set of hierarchical social categories.
In common parlance, the term "social class," is usually synonymous with "socio-economic class," defined as: "people having the same social, economic, or educational status," e.g., "the working class"; "an emerging professional class. The term "class" is etymologically derived from the Latin classis, which was used by census takers to categorize citizens by wealth, in order to determine military service obligations.
The first thing we see in the clip is the husband arguing with his wife about one their children breaking something. I think. This shows that the husband is the dominant person in the household because he says how he earns the money in the argument, also why i think the husband is the dominant person is because he is shouting the loudest and has the last word in the argument. This shows that the husband and wife do not like each other. As the husband is the dominant person in the house, the wife is dominant over the children. The wife also shows how she cares for her children by trying to not get them in trouble in the argument. However the wife's lover shows that he doesn't care for his children when he completely ignores his wife talking about their child's school report.
The wife lover is wearing a suit which shows that he more of an upper class job than the husband who's a builder.
The husband and the wife's family are more close than the the wife's lovers family.
When the girls get hit by the car it shows how all three of the characters react. The wife's lover is in complete shock and locks himself in his car, the husband is worried and also is angry at the wife's lover and other drivers, and the wife is worried about the girl and is angry at her husband.
When the girl is hit by the car the camera angle uses a high shot looking down on the girl, also there is a over the shoulder shot when the husband is looking down at his child.
In the clip from the street, the husband and wife and the wife's lover i think are all working class. I think this because they all live in terraced houses and have normal families. Also that they have normal jobs.

How is Tony Stonem Represented?
Tony Stonem is a character off the the TV show skins. He is from a middle class family. This representation of Tony is from the first 5 minutes of series 1, episode 1.
The mis en scene shows that Tony Stonem isn't a stereotypical teenager for his age but he has got some similarities to other teenagers. Ways in which he is a stereotypical teenager are that he causes trouble by annoying his Dad every morning, also that he is curious and this shown when he is watching the women across the street from his bedroom window. Ways in which he is not like a stereotypical teenager are when we the audience see his bedroom; his room is very neat and tidy, also he draws are very organised. This tells us that he might be a perfectionist which shows that he likes to be in control. He's room isn't like ordinary teenagers which would have very unorganised rooms that are very untidy.
Tony is also eager and this is shown in the first scene of the episode when he is already awake before his alarm goes off.
Also in the clip it shows Tony in his bed and his quilt which has a naked woman and man on it. Tony is lying in between the women and the man and this shows that he may be bisexual or confused about his sexuality.
The clip also shows that Tony is intelligent, this is shown when he is reading a book which ordinary teenagers might not read.
