The document discusses representations in TV dramas through analyzing screenshots from four different shows: Gotham, Misfits, Suits, and The Walking Dead. In Gotham, Bruce Wayne is dressed formally, showing he is wealthy and well-mannered. In Misfits, the characters are all dressed equally in orange jumpsuits, showing they are of the same class. In Suits, the characters are dressed formally, though the positioning suggests different levels of importance. In The Walking Dead, the lone character running with a gun implies a gloomy, lonely world where survival is difficult.

1. REPRESENTATION
IN TV DRAMAS

2. GOTHAM
This screenshot is from a series called
Gotham, it is about Bruce Wayne Before
he became Batman. In this screen shot
you can see that Bruce is of a very high
class, a lot higher than the other character
in the shot. I know this because of the way
they are dressed, Bruce is wearing very
formal clothes and his hair is very neat.
The building that they are standing in is
presumably his house which looks very
posh and expensive showing that his
parents are of a higher class and are very
wealthy. The way that Bruce’s arm is
positioned shows that he was shaking her
hand which implements that he is well
mannered and polite

3. MISFITS
This screenshot is from the drama series
Misfits, the way these characters are
positioned shows that the middle character
is the main character. He is the tallest in
the shot and is also the most standing out.
The even spread of male and female
characters could show numerous things,
such as, all of the characters are equal in
class. The characters are all wearing
oranges jumpsuits which also shows that
that they are all of the same class and
status.

4. SUITS
This screenshot is from a TV series called
suits, the way these characters are
dressed shows us that they are of a high
class. The way these characters are
positioned shows us that the closest
person in the shot is the largest and the
most eye catching character which could
mean that he is the main character.
However the fact that the lady at the top of
the screen shot is the highest could also
mean that she is of a higher class. All of
these characters are in a sexual posture
which could foreshadow some
relationships in the series

5. THE WALKING DEAD
This screenshot is from a TV drama Series
called The Walking Dead. There is
obviously only one person in this shot,
showing that the world that they live in is
very lonely with a lack of people. The
weather is this shot is very gloomy and
dark, which could imply that the mood of
people is very dark and gloomy because
there is nobody left but the walking dead.
The character in this shot is running whilst
holding a gun in his hand showing that he
needs to defend himself for what is
coming. He is running towards a house
which is most likely run down and
abandoned but their fight for survival is
hard and anything counts. The fact that he
is running on a single track empty road
could also imply that life, as it is for them is
extremely lonely and empty.
