Mise en Scene - Laura

The mise en scene suggests how there is a big difference between middle class and working class. For example, Nathan talks about how his dad, Gaz's flat is cold and messy. Later we see a shot of his mums home. It has a driveway and a nice car parked there. The house is big and looks clean and warm. This shows the difference between a middle class family home and a working class home. The difference between a home and a flat, being the only thing the working class could manage to afford. During an arguement, Gaz calls out for Nathan, however he is beign ignored. Gaz's excuse for this is that "he can't hear him through the triple glazed windows." This is sarcasm at how he knows they have lots of money and live off of the mum's new boyfriends money and home.

The performance during the film suggests how the working class male begin to give up and see themselves as failures. For example they all go to the jobclub however, make no effort in creating CVs or looking for job. Also, when Dave talks about his relationship with his wife, he says hes a failure and that his wife isnt interested anymore. When spying on the women at a womens only chippendales night at the local working mans club, Gaz over hears Dave's wife talk to a friend about how she feels that Dave has given up on her. This suggests how the lack of communication between them in their relationship has seperated their feelings, they feel the same about eachother, yet do not realise the situation.
