1961 -
No glamour, there are closely packed houses, the houses normally consist of a family living upstairs and another family living below them these houses are known as 1 up 1 down, the quality of the picture is not great and it is in black and white, the street is misty as if people don't care about it and shows it is old, the foot paths are very bumpy showing that it is not very well maintained, the camera wobbles while going into the scenes, The scenes do not cut from close up into medium they zoom out to go into that shot, to show intimedation they would use a low shot to show who is bigger in the arguments and it reverses the hierarchy, to show who is richer they higher class would have much more fancier attire/costume, there are some shots that have been composed as a wide establishing shot which can easily show the support others are giving the dominant character and props.
1979 -
The programme is now in colour but not very clear, the houses are packed together in rows, the set looks quite grim because of the picture is slightly green, the houses all look the same so they are in the same hierarchy, the houses are in rows to show lots of people are in poverty, the set looks run down, there is a cat laying on a grotty roof all by itself showing that it is lonely, tiles on the roof are coming off of the houses to show how run down it is, in the background of the intro there is a massive building which is flats to show another low end of the hierarchy, the sky is grey in the intro to show that there is no hope in getting a better lifestyle, the streets are empty no one walking down them showing that it has not many things to do in the street, they have slow movement that they got from films, they now use silence to create tension, there are more props being used and they carried on using the nicer clothing to show who is above the other in the higherarchy.
