Class

Denotations:
This is a promotional poster of a tv show that shows a 21st century.
The poster is very colourful which implies that they are more of a trashy family other than a upper class. The way they are acting in the poster is not sensible as they are standing next to a exploded water thing. They do however look like they are having fun.

Connotations:

Denotations:
This poster shows a very neat and tidy family and their butlers which shows there upper class. Another thing showing there upper class is the mansion in the background.






Richard Butsch (1992) who says working class males in the media are presented as; "Incompetent and ineffectual, often a buffoon, well-intentioned but dumb. In almost all working-class series, the male is flawed, some more than others...he fails in his role as a father and husband, is lovable but not respected." 




Medhurst's 1998 theory; "They are awful because they are not like us,"


Keith Gandal's, in 2007 he said that target audiences are drawn in by the; "Sentimental rags-to-riches story,"




Shameless Essay: 
In this 2 min clip, i will be analyasing the class of what is shown. The main theorist for class is 'Butsch', 'Medhurst' who's covers all theories and 'Gandal'. 
In the opening, we are shown establishing shots of high rise flats which show a lower class. We are also shown a birds eye view of council houses, which makes us look down on the houses and the people.  When off the buildings, it shows the narrator speaking about him self.  The way he looks to me is quite scruffy with the short beard and the messy long hair.  The character agrees with Butsch's argument as he in the next scene is beaten up with an un branded loaf of bread. 
When running away from the dad, you see there garden. It is not a pretty looking garden as it has rubbish everywhere. The camera is also looking down on the garden showing us the lower class of the people. 
The phrase 'Gob Shite' is one not used to the higher classes but the lower.  The accent of the dad is stereotyped to be a of the lower class's.  It is set in manchester which has a stereotype is loud, rude and fond of fighting.
