GENDER
SOCIAL CLASS
AGE
· Eg: The children are often shot in close up and cutaways throughout the sequence to show their dour emotions. They are represented as poor, orphan children in terms of class status who serve in the workhouse in horrible conditions.
· This is further exemplified in terms of Mise en Scene in regards to their costumes which are scraps of material, often brown to represent cheap and inherited clothing.
· In terms of sound we hear them slurping their food like vultures and the clattering of cutlery as they gobble down their food, this suggests they are hungry and not looked after.
· Thus the children of a young age are represented as oppressed and vulnerable to the dominant adults who are often filmed from a low angle to show their dominance.
