Discus ways in which different generations & class presented in BBC3’s some girls, use mise-en-scene, shot types, sound and editing.
We watched a clip of some girls this is a comedy drama series that is shown 10pm on Tuesday’s. It is about a group of stereotypical girls aged about 15/16. The clip we watched had its own main character ‘Viva’ she lives in a flat with her brother, dad & step mum.  The step mum is also her PE teacher at school. So for her the setup is a bit unusual.

The PE teacher/Step Mum is very unprofessional when it comes to Viva’s PE lesson she is wearing a strappy top with really tight yoga pants. Viva is rude to her and answers her back; this is because I think Viva doesn’t know where she stands with her because of the situation at home there is a clever shot type when Viva is on the floor doing press ups, it’s a close up of the teacher with Viva and her mate in the background gossiping. At home the Step Mum is perceived as the stereotypical evil step mum. She was walking round the flat like she owns it in a really short dressing gown the director may have been incorporated to make the viewer feel as awkward as Viva that is her teacher sitting in front of her.
There is role reversal with her Dad & Step Mum; she finds out that her Step Mum is pregnant. There are different views on this pregnancy; Viva is dead set on her getting rid of it. She mentions a friend who has had it done this is stereotyping that all teenagers are getting pregnant and having abortions. There is a shot from Viva’s point of view when she is looking at them as if they are the teenage lovebirds, and as if she is the responsible adult. Then Viva gets worried that the baby will have nowhere to sleep. Viva gets angry when the step mum over rides her dads opinion and says that she will have to move out and give the baby her room.
Viva packs a backpack and leaves without anyone saying bye or questioning her. When she is packing there is a fast beat music behind her packing her back, it has been edited in with a close up of the top of the bag and the odd thing she puts in, we don’t see everything because that would be boring so it has been edited out so we only get the main idea.
When Viva slams the door and runs down the stairs there is a shot from above as she runs downstairs. This is done so you feel sorry for her, that no one says bye or seems to care.

There is a teenage girl sat on a bench with a baby in a push chair with fag in one hand and a can of beer in the other this has been set up to mock teenage mums and put substance to the stereotype that all teenage mums are from under privileged backgrounds with no aspiration.
