 Representation of Social Class In
Misfits
• The main social class represented is the lower classes, representated in the
location, characters and mis en scene. The programme is filmed in a
derprived area of London and this reflects on the various personalities we
find within the show. The location if also refelcted in the mis en scene as
Misfits is mostly shot in a community centre that is lit with flourescent
lighting, sparsely furnished and is quite rundown. The characters represent
stereotyopes of people ou would expect to find in that area and each
separate person develops further the idea of social class and status within
the programme.
• The characters show a low social class through the language they use,
costume, their ideals and experiences, and how they interact with one
another in the situation they find themselves in. it is also interesting to looks
at how ethnicity is portrayed in the show, with three black people and one
half cast young man, along with three white men and women. This is
perhaps representative of the area that the programme is filmed in, but may
also be a reference to the stereotypes of that is portrayed many times in
Misfits.
