Misfits Dialogue Analysis

UNIT 50 - AO1 Understand how sound elements are used in media products.

DIALOGUE:

1) What is the purpose of the dialogue used?

The purpose of which the dialogue is used is to establish the different personalities of the characters across to us by showing us what their like via their body language and speech.
Also the purpose of the clip is to give us the story behind who they are and possibly a story of narrative.
It sets the the scene and gives us an insight of the genre, like the period of which they're in because of the technology and the fact that each of them are on probation.
I think there's also the purpose of entertainment, because from the opening clip we're taken through humor and given the terms of amusement and the establishment of comedy.

Character Analysis:

Nathan

Always has a mischievous smirk or his face, as seen in the image aside taken from the watched clip. Has a lot of sarcasm. Cocky. Playful. Polite. Condescending. Natural. Open minded. Snarky jerk ass.

Volume and accent:
 He has a strong southern Irish accent which makes him sound rhythmic as it's soft, a very clear volume of speech but always tries to dominate the banter of conversation and be the center of attention. He's a very clear spoken guy. He talks in full grammar unlike some of the others we see in the opening clip.

Vocabulary: 
Vulgar and pushes the boundaries by interfering with everything gets said by making comments to other people about what they say and questions each and everyone little this that gets said. He doesn't explicit language showing he is witty and has a certain idea of intelligence.

Overall I think it tells us that Nathan is a very easy going gentle person with an cocky personality who has the idea of dominating other people and likes to be the center of attention. I think he is also insecure because he acts like a child and someone he's not due to the sarcasm and annoyingness he generates and gives across to us.

  Alisha:

Young careless girl who really doesn't care about her attitude towards things. from the start we can see that she likes to show off her body by the way in which she sort of boosts herself up when she's changing into her probation clothing.

Shes dainty, overlooked, childish, playful, flirty, and a show off and irresponsible.

Volume and accent:  Her accent comes across as cockney because she doesn't seem to have anything else revolved around it besides the fact that she seem quiet and innocent but there's an edge to the way in which she says things to people, like a sort of out there Londoner. Her volume fits her really well as a person because she's not loud and she's not vibrant for example when she's speaking on the phone to her friend she's really casual and laid-back a dainty about what shes doing, but whilst shes in the background of other people you cannot really here her over Nathan and Gary fighting together.

Vocabulary: she has a very poor sense of vocab to the fact which makes her seem slightly chavy but it suits her really well, due to the fact that it fits in with who she is and her background of being a possible player with the guys, and a major flirt with others, and a joker also but it helps her stand her guard and not look so small.

I think that Alisha has made herself look really silly and pathetic with the way she acts in this, because she comes across as being a really sweet and innocent person being thrown into the possibly category of a slag, and someone who sleeps around and finds everything on earth attractive. She's a girl who uses her body emotions to draw things to her and to make friends with her attitude of being a typical flirt. But also very strong.
