How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The clothing of the mother and children shows there middle class status as the children are in school uniform however wearing coats, this shows they are not at the bottom end of the social group and cant afford coats but do not go to a posh enough private school when the school uniform is clearly upper class with added shirt and tie. The scenery of the kitchen also shows the middle class status as they do not have expensive, branded cutlery and utensils but still have fairly modern ones.

Stereotypical version of a middle class family kitchen.

These images show the obvious similarities from both the kitchens and children with all of the children you can clearly see the boys are both wearing the same sort of grey trousers and have covered the tops with jumpers therefore you cannot see the uniform underneath however it is the same to the stereotypical version however with a blue jumper. Although the kitchens do have some differences and you cannot see much of the kitchen however the tables are similar however in my film it seems empty as if the life has been sucked from it and should be like the the stereotypical kitchen however this comparison enhances the fact that there is something missing within the household creating a dark gloomy cloud over the house instead of the happy laughter of the children in the house. Overall it is clear the status of the family is middle classed and these pictures also show how the difference in what the table should look like as if the children were there and not 'captured'.
