Misfits Analysis:

Nathan:

Tone: The character of Nathan is very sarcastic. I can tell this because he takes the mick out of people and doesn't care about what he says to people. He is also very sharp with what he says. For example he answers back to the Probation Officer very quickly. The tone of his voice is light and when he talks it sounds like he is being playful. 

Volume: Nathan has a clear loud voice. He is the first person to speak after the Probation Officer has finished speaking. This shows that he always wants to talk and be first with everything. By talking first he dominates the conversation. Everything that is said after he spoke is about what he started off. 

Accent: Nathan has a Irish accent. His accent is quite lyrical and warm. Nathan's accent suits the vocab that he says. It might not suit another character as they don't have the same accent as him. As the scene is set in London the accent gives Nathan a sense of not being in a class. 

Vocab: Whenever Nathan speaks his never swears. He is also quite witty when he speaks. Nathan is also argumentative when he speaks. He says "But what if they are right?", he has a comment ready to fire back at the Officer straight away. He likes to confront people and doesn't care about what he says to them. 

What does this tell us about the character?

By what Nathan says you can tell that he is the joker of the group. You can tell this because he argues and confronts people and eventually makes a joke from the situation. Nathan is also child-like. You get this idea from him being the jokes and him not swearing. A child laughs and cannot swear; like the character of Nathan. 

Curtis:

Tone: His tone is lower than everyone else's In the group and he sounds more relaxed. He doesn't change even when he gets angry or annoyed. By his tone of voice I can tell that he is the cool guy of the group.

 

Volume: In the clip Curtis speaks quite quietly. He doesn't need to get lots of attention like Nathan. Curtis does get slightly loudly when annoyed or when he gets angry.

 

Vocab: He uses Urban vocabulary when he speaks. He may come from a street background or may want to sound cool. But when he speaks his uses that vocabulary.

 

What does this tell us about the character?

We find out that Curtis is the cool character of the group and  that he doesn't want to be at the community service. We also know that he uses street vocabulary when he speaks. This suggests that he hangs around with a gang or people on the streets.

 

Kelly:

 

 

Kelly is the stereotypical Chav. She speaks quite loudly and uses "Chav Vocabulary". She has a Northern accent and Nathan takes the mick out of her when she speaks. She speaks loudly when answering back to Nathan. This tells us that she doesn't care about what she says to people. The Northern accent makes her voice sound strong when she speaks. You find out that Kelly is a loud character and has a personality of a chav. She plays the chav and she doesn't have much class. 

 

Aleisha:

 

 

Aleisha's tone differs from what situation and mood she's in. She is the 'slutty' member of the group. Her volume also differs from what mood she is in. She has an urban accent or a girls accent and she uses slang words when she talks. We can make out that she is from an urban background and has friends who use slang are like her. She also doesn't care about her community service as she talks to here friends on the phone when her Probation Officer is talking. This shows that she is rude and doesn't want to be at the community service.

 

Simon:

 

 

 

Simon doesn't speak in the clip whereas everyone else does. This suggests that he is quite member of the group. He doesn't laugh at Nathan or Aleisha which shows that he is serious and wants to get on. In the clip he doesn't make any sound at all but when you watch the clip you see that he doesn't do anything wrong and just stands there at the end of the group. This tells us that he doesn't fit in with the others and that he isn't like them.

 

 

Gary:

 

 

 

 

Gary is also the stereotypical chav. You can tell this by looking at him but you also tell this by his choice of words. He says to Nathan, " You looking to get stabbed". This shows that he is aggressive and he shows this through his speech. Gary speaks like the other member of the group Kelly. He has a chav accent and he doesn't use adventurous vocabulary which may suggest the is of low class. Gary says to Nathan "I'm going to rip out your throat and Sh*t down your neck." He said this violently and he doesn't care what he says in front of the Probation Officer. This shows the viewer that he must talk like this all the time.
