If you get “regional identity” as an issue in the exam, you should be thinking about the following things when watching the clip (use these bullet points to analyse the clip):
•Can I identify where the characters are from within the country?
•Are people from different areas shown as having different interests, personalities, attitudes, behaviours? If so, how?
• Is their regional identity represented as being important in their life?
•Are people from particular regions portrayed as being better, more powerful, than others?
•Are people from particular regions portrayed as being abnormal /weaker/ more pathetic than others?
•How do other characters in the clip treat the characters from different regions?
• What is the message the clip is trying to portray about regional identity?
Discuss the ways the extract constructs representations of regional identity.
• Consider:
• Camerawork/angles/movement
• Sound
• Editing
• Mise-en-scene
