Class and Status

Mise-en-scene- Robin Hood’s costume is dark and hidden shows he didn’t want his face to be
recognised. Soldiers are in full armour and on horse’s shows power and authority

Camera- high angle establishing shot. Shows men on horses are superior at this point in time as they
have a man surrounded low angle when man is running, man blurred and horse men above and
outnumbering him.

Sound-ND trumpets, horns, changes when it is revelled that the rustling is just one man hidden to
more whimsical/playful music

Dialogue, accents, man is common speaking and the men on horses’ are well spoken

Ambient sounds, Trees rustling, leaves being walked over



In this clip, dialogue is used to show different class and status. This was shown when the man
hunting got caught and he was pleading for his life. His accent was common and words were unclear
or shortened. This represents the man as being uneducated as his does not hold the understanding
of speaking correctly as in his life he probably never had the opportunity to learn. On the other
hand, the soldiers on horses’ accents are posh and understandable. This shows they are well
educated and brought up in an area where learning to speak well was available.
