Gender representation: Michael speaks in a more aggressive tone whilst the woman speaks in a quieter and softer voice. This uses the stereotype that men are louder and more aggressive in arguments against women.

After he told her that she's dumped and walks off, she then indirectly threatens him

by asking him a question that she knows

buggers him and will hit him in the nerves.

He then comes back but as he approaches her through the corridor, he goes through a dark part and then coming out making another threat in a serious tone.

Lulu then attempts to manipulate Michael because she knows that he's in a tricky situation and that she's the only one that could help him out so she calmly tries to force him to apologise for what he said with a satisfied grin on her face.

This fits the stereotype that women aren't violent but can still cause damage in an argument by manipulating and psychologically

dominating their opponent whilst men are loud

and physically threatening.

Class representation: The family in this scene looks like a stereotypical lower class family. The dad looks like an unwashed alcoholic with dirty clothes and greasy hair. A lot of children and only one parent figure present. They also speak in a dull and slightly stupid and uneducated Northern accent which is often associated with these types of people. The scene is also shot in an unstable

manner with a lot of zoom in's and outs.

The direction resembles how reality tv is mostly

shot which is mostly what lower class people watch.
