TOP TIPS
• look at the mise-en-scene (what are they wearing? upper class will wear smart, expensive clothes whereas lower class will wear cheap, tacky clothing for example)
• listen to their voices (are they well-spoken? what is their accent? do they use colloquial vocabulary?)
• what’s the setting like? (are they subverting or adhering to the stereotypical setting for their class?)

EXAMPLE REPRESENTATION VIDEO
• Footballers' Wives• the clip portrays a very varied representation of class and status
due to the characters being of a low class yet high status; the mise-en-scene supporting the idea that celebrities (and especially footballers) such as the characters within the extract are very wealthy and arrogant, yet their interest in the tacky and flashy implying a working class upbringing. This notion is supported by the diegetic sounds used in the sequence. As such, the characters would be classed as members of the upper/middle class due to adhering to many stereotypes regarding such (wealth, arrogance, vanity, affluence), but having originated from a working class background due to subverting the remainder of upper/middle class stereotypes (accents, conversation topics, quality of clothing and interior design)
