Question 1, 5 Marker

In the extract, Mis-en-sen is constantly used as we can see from the setting. the setting is layed out as a low class house, reasonably small with a large amount of people inside. There are bottles and cigarettes laying everywhere and rubbish all over the floor. This could be to portray the typical living accommodation of a criminal in Brighton. The state of the house suggests that these people do not work hard or are very clean presenting them as lower class members of society.

It is also used in clothes, The lower class men and women in the house seem to be wearing baggy clothes that do not cover up most of their body as well as having a tattoos. This also connotes lower class people as their presentation is very off putting to those whom want to approach them.

The Observer Tweet

The tweet of the observer front page reflects it political, social and cultural contexts in a variety of ways. Observer have presented their political views in the bottom right corner of the front page with a slightly persuasive push to left wing ideas wing ideas. In this case the political issues is about Br-exit, Observer have purposefully made the headline a point from a labour politician, as labour are a left wing party. This connotes that the Observer want their readers to see from a certain view of what they have written about therefore more left wing people read the Observer newspaper.

The Observer reflects social contexts though its representations of a female runner on the front page as well. By portraying a female runner on the page, the Observer show her representing all of the female runners who are strong and independent. Also, the way they have positioned her feet slightly outside the box connotes that she is not held back by anything as the picture is not set to the normal box layout standard.

Cultural contexts are also shown on the observer front page. This can be seen through not only views of white women runners but of Olympic runners of different ethnicity like Mo Farah. This connotes to the Observer's readers that they support a diverse range of background's in their news papers. Mo Farah is originally from Somalia but grew up in England. This shows the Observer respect his strengths in his difference of how he became a runner.
