The Director uses cinematography to represent social class. He uses a high and low angel to show the difference in social class. This is shown when Maria and the guy was having diegetic dialogue and a low angle was shown on they guy and then and high angle was shown on Maria in the over the shoulder shot. It show that they guy is of an higher class than Maria. Even though a low angle is on Maria she submerges from a typically working class.
He also uses the rule of thirds. He uses this so we focus on the woman in the middle. this is shown when Maria was cleaning the rooom and the two lady was at the front of her and she was in the middle. the two ladies were placed at the front to show they are more powerful than of Maria who as no power. which here she Maria is conforming to typical working class as we see her working.
The director uses sound to represent the difference in social class. He uses the difference in tone of voice . This is shown in the diegetic dialogue between Maria nad the lady whereas the lady as a more posh and sophisticated tone of voice than of Maria.

Kem, some of the points you make are good and show a clear understanding of social class. I think you could have gotten more out of this clip - as requested 3 PEEs on each - remember the more practice you get, the better your mark will become! Well done for discussing the rule of thirds and thinking about composition...if Maria is in the centre, this would suggest she is important...which would subvert her stereotype...but good to consider position of characters, nearer the camera is more dominant...a good effort.
