TV: Capital case study 1 AND 2

 Q1: It's realism and cultural diversity that spans each episode it's very true to London life as well as the life of the working class and upper class the rich and poor and their beliefs and struggles that seem tame compared to each other

Q2: The heavy reference to immigration. As the years pass in Britain immigration has heavily increased due to wars and asylum seekers many people blame them for the country's heavy increase in house prices "Capital" uses that to show how hostile and dangerous certain places can be due to these apparent issues and how anti-immigration regardless of who it is the main "perpetrator"

Q3: At the beginning of the episode we see an extreme long shot of the city in the dark. Sirens paraded around as if to suggest that crime is ridden across the city. It shows the gritty and unnerving part of London

Q4:  We see a variety of characters each facing their own dilemmas within their classes the poor focused on feeding their families the rich hoped to get an extra few thousand in their bonuses it juxtaposes these narrative strands.

Q5: The factsheet says it captures the realistic references to capitalism and poverty, the extremely rich and poor, and how they clash and settle their problems with their own beliefs.

Q6: The main theme of the show is Does money buy happiness we see that argument tossed around in this show and we come to understand how that question is posed as ungrateful and ignorant along with the theme of capitalism that is heavily referenced within this show those are the main themes

Q7: The dominant reading of this text is that London is a very diverse and different Capital to other areas. The opposed reading is that perhaps London is too diverse and too full for immigrants or asylum seekers

Q8: The difference between the rich and the poor the young and the old they all have different areas to interpret their ideologies and beliefs and that creates the binary oppostiion..

PART 2 OF CAPITAL:ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST EPISODE

Scene 1:

 Pepys Road is a seemingly ordinary street in South London until the residents find themselves continually plagued by incessant postcards; postcards with one single message: WE WANT WHAT YOU HAVE. This is then followed by a montage of one of the characters as we follow her entire life through this one door and it abruptly ends with her alone. She is from London, has a rich house with good money no family, and is not an immigrant

Scene 2:

We then follow a new character, a rich and privileged man who works in finance we see him do his work and meet his associates as they discuss matters worth thousands it shows how the rich are always in hand with money and have no shortage of it other than the working class. They are from London. they are rich probably capitalists and he has a wife two children and good money they are not immigrants.

Scene 3:

They live in London they are of the working class with plenty of family they live off their shop and they are all Muslim they are not immigrants they are socialists 

Scene 4:

She is not from London she wasn't supposed to live in London she is an immigrant who came to live a better and safer life she is a proud Christian she is very poor living paycheck to paycheck and she is a traffic warden typically hated amongst many for their heartless penalties.

Scene 5:

We see the rich man from scene 2 who angrily argues with his wife. He believes he should earn thousands more due to his job in making money for the company. He's rich but is ungrateful for his position of wealth. Different from the lady from Scene 4 who's just getting by 

Scene 6

This family is now angry with each other he believes that every man should pay for their family well beings and that he is old enough to work and live with himself or his future wife this causes an argument about money different from the rich man who hoped for thousands of more for himself which seems selfish compared to the poor family. As Muslims, they stick together but their belief is the only peace that holds them together
