REPRESENTATION OF CLASS - MONARCH OF GLEN
At the start of the clip we are should some builders loading up the van with some tools and talking about what work they are going to be doing at work. This could suggest that these men are working class as they are working in a typical industrial type job.
Next we are introduced to a young male sweeping the floor outside and a young female. We know by the accents that these people are Scottish. We are then shown the young female who claims she can drive when in fact she crashes straight into another car which we find out is her headmaster and she is only 16 years old. We are then introduced to Edward Green the young girls (Amy) headmaster. Edward sounds vary fluent and posh when he talks and also is dressed very smartly which could suggest that he is middle/upper class. We know that Paul is the boss of the characters as he is the person giving out the orders to people, also Paul has an English accent whereas all the others have a Scottish accent. This could show that he is different to the rest and makes him sound intelligent. The young male and Paul both look and sound shocked when they find out that Amy is still at school and is only 16, this would tell us that Amy has been lying to them and could come across as mischievous which could emphasis her working class.
After being introduced to Edward Green, Paul takes him into a very posh wooden board room which would be similar to an old gentlemen’s room or an old fashion study. The way they are talking with each other is like they are from the same class which could show us that Paul is also upper class. They pour a glass of brandy out of a decanter which is very posh and shows Pauls class. The camera angles have been very clever in this clip as it is showing Paul and Edward both on the same level not having one looking down at the other. This really emphasises that both Paul and Edward are upper class and come across to have the status of rich.
Towards the end of the clip the sound in the background is very happy and positive when the men and female are moving tables and chairs around. However continuing onto Amy the music starts to get very sad and emotion which links in to how Amy is feeling about having to go home and back to school.

COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS
Class and Status - Working Class - Robson Green - Waterloo Road
Robson Green played the caretaker in the last series of waterloo road. Waterloo Road is a programme about a high school in a fairly rough run down area. There are a lot of problems at the school which always ends in the police being there or government trying to close down the school. Robson plays the caretaker at the school thought out the series. This would determine Robson into working class as he is working in an industrial maintenance job. Here is a good clip showing Robson cleaning spraypaint of the walls in the school. At the start of this clip we see him scrubbing the spraypaint off the walls. This tells us that his job isint very high up in the industry and he is working class. Also Robson is wearing a shirt which a caretaker would'nt normally wear, they would normally be in overalls or clothes that could get ruined. As we hear Robson speaking in the clip we discover that infact he talks fairly posh and not slangy, this could link with why he dresses smartly for the job he is doing. So overall we could say that he has middle/upper title but a working class status because of the job and the little wage he would be earning.
Class and Status - Poor - Joseph Gilgun (Rudy) - Misfits
Joesph Gilgun plays Rudy in the TV drama 'Misfits'. Misfits is about a group of young adults who are serving community service and the local communal centre. The young adults are aged around 18 to 25. They all have some sort of special power. We dont really know much about all the chacters backgrounds so it is had to find a partically poor character. We get the impression that Rudy is poor because in the latest episode which i cant find clips for we see Rudy struggle to find places to live and has to barge his way into one of the other boys in the comuntity centres flat. Also we never see Rudy get in contact with any friends of family which shows us that noone is there to supposrt him and he is living quite individually. Rudy is serving community service which is usally because you have done something wrong or commited a crime. This could be down to him being unhappy and poor wanting to commit a crime. We dont see Rudy with a job or any source of money coming in. The clothes he wears arent very expensive looking and look a bit tatty and old. Rudy has lots of tattoos all on his body which is usally sterotype as thugist or not very well presentable. All these reason give me the impression that Rudy is quite a poor character.

CLASS/STATUS
Class and Status are basically the wealth of someone. Each one is split into two binary opposites. Class is Middle/working class and status is rich/poor. RICH
1) Kirk Norcross – in the programme TOWIE kirk is represented as having a lot of money, his dad owns a nightclub and they have a huge house.
2) J.R.Ewing – he owns an oil field
3) Mr Burns – the character in the Simpson’s is very rich because he owns a nuclear plant and has a personal assistant.
4) Ricci – this character is in the TV series Geordie shore. When he goes home in series three we are shown his car and house. He owns a range rover sport and a very big modern house, this shows his wealth clearly.
5)
POOR
1) Effy – of skins effy and tony are two characters which could be seen to be poor, this is because the house is in a council estate.
2) Lester Burnham from American Beauty would be an example of working class. He is employed and has an average size house
3) Kevin Webster from Coronation Street would be working class as he works in a garage on an average wage.
4) Billy from Eastenders would also be working class as he is employed on a wage working for other people in all different types of work.
5) Jason Grimshaw from Coronation Street works as a builder which would make him working class.

EDITING
Continuity –The viewer should not notice the cuts, and shots should flow together naturally. Hence, the sequence of shots should appear to be continuous.
In this clip we see a fight scene from the film 'Fast Five'. The auidence shouldnt beable to see the cuts in this clip and it should look to us that it's all one clip rather than being split up into seperate shots.
Hollywood Montage - a "montage sequence" is a short segment in a film in which narrative information is presented in a condensed fashion.
This is a montage clip from the film 'Stepbrothers'. This shows what is happening over a long period of time in just a few minutes.
Cross Cutting/parallel editing - Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occurring in different places, usually simultaneously.
I found it hard to find a clip from a film so just used this clip but this is an example of Cross Cutting/Parallel editing.
Dissolve - A transition between two shots during which the first image gradually disappears while the second image gradually appears.
This clip shows all different types of dissolve transition in films
