Made In Chelsea

Made In Chelsea was one of the first documentarys that we looked at together as a class. It's a reality documentary series on channel 4 that focuses on groups of people all living in London's Chelsea, which is presented as a classy area for the wealthy who enjoy a vogue lifestyle. The audience see this in the opening of every scene where the mise-en-scene consists of expensive designer shops, large houses and appartments, flash cars and in this particular episode, Caggie, Spencer, Milly and Hugo all take a trip to Cannes, which is known for it's glamorous, film livlihood. The group spend a day on a yaught and then go out for dinner which of course is accompanied by cocktails and champaign. The camera spends most of the time focusing on the characters faces to see their awkward expressions and looking at the well groomed both men and women. All the character are made to look like stereotypical, rich young people with their overly posh voices and little knowledge of genuinely important things that doesn't just involve appearance and social topics. Ollie is a stereotypical gay man, with long hair who is looking to be a model, however in this episode he isn't taken very seriously with his comical portfolio which he considers a good collection of photos. He also has to much pride to cut his long brown locks which the agency request of him in order for his career to ever take off. Overal the channel 4 documentary is a typical reality documentary, people are interested in watching it because ir looks into the lives of other real people.
