Some super important university application stuff here, damn my lack of a floppy disc and my brother for thieving my pen drive.
Ken Loach's charecters are played so that viewers can relate to them. In this essay, i shall discuss how Loach portrays these charecters, the reason he portrays them as such, and how he uses cinematic techniques to accomplish this portrayal.
The main way in which we can relate to the charecters is thier working class jobs. We see this in the first scene, in the simple fact that the protagonist is a bus driver. This is a very 'run of the mill' job, the man doesn't have a very important place in society, and the economy would not be dented were he to disappear. Similarly, in the second scene we see the health visitor, in a job taking her to council estates in glasgow, albiet in a slightly more important fashion than the driver.
This lets the viewer relate to the charecters. We can all imagine being a bus-driver, and imagine what we might have done in the same situation. We can also imagine our reaction as the health visiter to Joe, or vice versa.
Even in this working class, we can see a division between charecters. The power of the conductor is obvious over the power of the driver. It could be seen as a hierarchy of powers, with the passengers awnserable to the driver and the driver to the conductor. It turns out in the end that the driver was able to thwart the conductor's attempts to report the girl to the police, however. In this scene, the conductor's authority is official, and comes in his job.
In the second scene, the power difference is less obvious. The health visitor would seem to have more power because she is in this humane job, about the care of families and thier children. This is not an official power, but most would view her job as more inportant than Joe's football game.
In both scenes, this power is confronted by the 'underdogs.' It is also worth noting that in both scenes, the underdog 'wins' or comes out on top.
Sexual discrimination is not apparent in the first clip. Although the passenger being questioned is a girl, i do not think the scene would have been different if a man were cast as the passenger. The second scene, however, raises questions about how the main charecter, Joe, views the health inspector. We are shown this mostly through the language that he uses. The woman is quite offended when he refers to her as a 'lassie,' although i do not think he means anything by this. It is my belief that Joe is not being openly sexist to the woman, but the question is still raised in how she reacts as if he was.
Loach shoots all his films on location. This preserves any local details, keeping the scene more realistic. There are some things which cannot be replicated in a studio. Camera distence is kept at medium, to give the impression that the viewer is overlooking the proeceedings, and listening in on the exchanges of views.
The director leaves room for all his charecters to put across thier views on thier respective situations. Even in the first scene, the heated debate between the driver and conductor, neither charecter dominates the scene, both are dealt with the same chance to explain thier position.
All of the charecters in the two scenes are portrayed with realism, in order for the viewers to relate to them. Ken Loach's goal in these scenes was to bring forward key issues in society, and he has achieved this through the realism of the charecters.
