The representation of Regional Identity

How can you Identify Regional Identity?



What is regional identity?
Regional identity is identifying a person's identity which is rooted not only in the setting of the film but also in speech, costumes etc and in the region they live in.
How can you identify regional identity?
–Setting
–Accents
–Dialogue
–Props
–Make up
–Class of characters
–Costumes
–Etc.

Shameless
The characters in the clip and represented as quite rude and chavy. This is shown through there dialogue and also there clothing. The language used and the way they are portrayed gives you this representation.
Only Way Is Essex
Straight away you can see that these characters are all about the way they look. You can tell from the fact that they are very dressed up and glammed up for the gym. They have a distinct Essex accent which can make them seem stupid, which  gives you the typical representation of an Essex person.
Made In Chelsea
These people are the typical stereotype of the high class rich. The are seen to be hanging out on boats and driving flash cars in one of the most expensive place in London. There dialogue is also the typical representation of a very rich, posh person.
Brookside
Set in Liverpool these characters are the typical stereotype of a 'scouser'. There laddish behaviours and the way the talk to each other is what we believe these people to be like in an everyday situation.
