T.V Drama
Misfits- Series 1, Episode 1. 0:00-5:00.
We see straight away from what all 6 main characters are wearing that they are in the wrong as their outfits are orange jumpsuits which look like they should be worn in prison. It is then brought up that they are doing their community service by their probation worker. He is wearing a form of identification around his neck showing that he is of more importance/ranked then the others. He is also wearing everyday clothing connoting that he is just a normal person in comparison to the others also. All of the 6 main characters wear their jumpsuits in a different way, connoting their personality. For example, Alisha wears her jumpsuit very openly, with only the top half of her underwear showing, connoting that she uses her sexuality a lot in more ways than others (this is also shown when there is a close up on her chest). Also, Curtis wears his jumpsuit to his waist and then wears a grey vest, this could connote that he is more of a sporty person and he also is wearing a Christian necklace around his neck also connoting that maybe he doesn’t belong there? At first the setting is in a locker room where we first the characters getting into their jumpsuits (some worn in a more “provocative” way than others). Then the setting moves to a railing outside a building in front of a lake. Everyone can be seen in the long shot. Everyone is standing differently and in different positions. Kelly (third from the right) is very slouched with her elbows on the riling leaning back onto it connoting that she isn’t really bothered about this and wants to get out of it. We first see convocation between Nathan and the probation worker, Nathan is represented as someone who is very confident and very cheeky and back chatty towards other people. He also represents the “Jack the lad” stereotype and also heightens the stereotypes of attitudes within young people and especially young offenders. Alisha also answers her phone during the convocation showing how much she cares about this as well. When Kelly starts to speak, her attitude in her voice connote that she can fight back and also by the way she puts up her middle finger to Nathan. The female genre is so fare represented as quite fist and fitting to a common day female stereotype.
After the title sequence, the scene then changes to the 6 characters painting benches. When an un-named character gets paint onto his cap, he storms off, connoting the sort tempers that these people have. We also see this short temper by the way he messes up. Simon is left on his own at this point and has a very stiff and edgy body language and is also very quiet. This is subverting/anti stereotyping the young offender’s stereotype and also the boyish “Jack the Lad” stereotype. Nathan and Kelly represent themselves as people that don’t care about much or anything they do. Kelly fits the common stereotype of lower classed/offenders when we find out the she is doing this community service because she had a fight in Argos because a girl called her a “slag”. Nathan makes a joke out of everything, saying that he got community service for stealing some pick and mix
