Rev.
Gender
Adam- A vicar that has a good job and a wife. Seen positively, but also challenges the 'boring vicar' stereotype through his actions and the visual codes (close ups) as the show is a comedy. However, does smoke E-cigarettes
Concentrated on Religion and ethnicity. Shows region as there is a loud, drunk Yorkshire man, showing a negative representation. Adhering to the stereotype however.
Alex- She is seen in a domesticated role, she has a child and looks after it, she also seems emotional which can be seen as stereotypically feminine.
Positive representation of ethnicity, what may appear to be a 'dangerous' ethnicity is challenged yet again. They have a muslim and a christian teaming up together, this is positive.
There are long shots and close ups of London and it's iconography such as flags and red buses. This creates a positive representation of national identity.
The Voice
Mediation= The auditions are chosen to make the audience more interested, the bad auditions are really sad/bad and then good ones are great because they're shown so soon after a bad audition.
Age
Bad Education
Through dialogue and body behaviour most of the young kids are disrespectful to older people, most of the youth are represented as stereotypical 'chavs' that
Call Centre
Regional Identity- Swansea in Wales represented as a fun
Employed a man with a stutter, not being prejudiced with somebody with a disability.
Equal opportunities gender-wise.

How are the following represented in....
-Gender
-Ethnicity
-Age
-Issues
Who is the intended audience, PIES and PON.
Benefits Street
Clothing: Very sporty (chav-like) clothes. Represented as very grungy, they don't care about their hygiene or representation.
Maybe the preffered audience are also unemployed people or perhaps 17-26 year old people who are in the same situation or know people that are. It is mostly for entertainment, personal identity and maybe social integration.
They residents hang about on the street in gangs, smoking and drinking. They seem to confirm the stereotypes of unemployed people.
The floor is littered with rubbish (because the council won't pick it up). They don't care about the presentation of their street either. The mise-en-scene is showing the crumbling parts of the houses and the dirty parts of the street to emphasise that without money these people have lost morals, care for themselves etc.
There are 13 nationalitys on the street, they're represented as a bit more negative by the use of close-ups. Indicating there very 'in your face'. A range of ethnicity's are shown and through distorted long shots, represented poorly such as a man running down the road with a hammer. They are seen as more violent.
They own staffy dogs- a stereotype of a chav. There swearing and sitting outside on old sofas like homeless people. Represented negatively as they are given benefits for their kids etc but spend the money on alcohol and cigarettes. Shown through the close up shots of beer cans. One man can't even read and write. He is seen walking down a busy road with a can of beer, apparently a recovering drug addict but his monologue seems to be only about how he will work for any alcohol he can get. His daughter isn't speaking to him, he is represented as being a bad parent due to his drug and alcohol habit. Another resident, 'Black Dee' wishes to do a sponsored give-up-smoking which seems like her life is centred around smoking and drink- another negative portrayal. This is emphasised by the close-up shot of her lighting up a cigarette. Another has had 80 convictions since he was twelve, he brushes it off as the camera catches him sat in a very dominant, careless manner.
'White Dee' is represented as the 'mother' of the street, although quite negative as she wears unstylish-minimal clothing and bangs on peoples windows with sticks. They even exploit these children as negative with a medium shot of a child kicking a mans leg repeatedly while he holds a beer can.
Strippers
Starts with a close up of a woman's eye, she is wearing false eyelashes so presumably cares about her looks. The women presented are wearing lacy underwear or very little clothing all together. They are highly sexualised due to their occupation but through expressions don't seem happy about it. The mise-en-scene is typical of a strip club with the beam lights and strip poles. There are many close-ups of intimate body parts to highly sexualise them. The non-diegetic supports this as it is very seedy/jazzy. The lighting is neon and luminous, typical colours of a strip club. The audience are meant to feel sorry for the girls as they say they wanted a different life for themselves.
