Representation of
regional identity- The only way is Essex
PEE CHAIN.
Camera angles-
Most have fake boobs,
whitened teeth, hair extensions, fake nails, fake tan. High heels
One of the girls says
she ‘wants it to be natural ‘ followed by ‘inject me up’ contradicting herself,
representing Essex as being stupid.
The girls are talking
about having their boobs done and their teeth whitened at the party, no real
important conversations. Representing
Editing-
Continuity editing is
used by the drama showing the botox being inserted upstairs and the rest of the
party going on downstairs.
Sound- Non-diegetic music such as
the song ‘flawless’ by George micheal is played in the background of the girls walking
down the road. indicating that these girls have an expectation to live up to.
Their costumes represent this by looking immaculate with big high heels (that
they cant walk in), big handbags, big sunglasses. They look like celebrities
except they aren’t.
‘Why are you not having it done babes?’-
almost as if it’s a crime that one of the girls doesn’t want to have botox
done. ‘if you don’t have it done then you are going to be well jel’
Mise en scene-
In our first scene we
have three people at a gym due to the mise en scene of running machines and
their costumes being gym wear. However we see an instant regional identity
representation due to the fake tans, fake nails, fake boobs and a face full of
make up even eyelashes at the gym. An expectation of a supposed ‘essex’ look.
This shows the area which these people come from i.e. Brentwood, they come from
money and are at a luxurious gym.
The dialect used is
not pronounced properly such as
‘em’ instead of ‘them’ and ‘me’
instead of ‘my’ representing a chavy representation. Although they come from money their accents do not represent
this. They are constantly addressing each other as ‘babe’
Close up shots of the
girls faces are commonly used, showing the amount of make up they are wearing
to work out at the gym. Even wearing full lash extensions, which is really
unnecessary for the gym ( a work out)
