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.
