TV Drama Deconstruction - This Is England '86
Bus scene.
Emotion - The emotion is built up by the singing on the bus. The audience is supposed to feel both happy and sad at the same time and this balance is created by the facial expressions of Woody and Lol in contrast to those of every other character.
Story - The scene explains the story well, Lol and Woody are getting married.
Eye trace - There are several close ups and shot/reverse shots of faces in which the eyelines match.
Realism is created by the foul language used and the fact that they are smoking on a public bus. Lots of shots such as wide shots are used to establish the scene and setting. The lighting is neutral. All the sound is digetic which adds to the concept of realism.
Representation - All of the women subvery stereotypes & even though they're wearing dresses, they have a punk style; extreme hair styles, bright make-up and non matching clothes. Lol completely subverts the stereotype as she's wearing a suit and has short hair despite being the bride.
