Downtown Abbey

The location in this scene is considered to be an Abbey this is to show that the upperclass have money and wealth as they are living in a big house. This reinforces the typical stereotype for upper classes as they are known to have big houses. With the costumes, the upperclass are wearing suits or long dress with lots of colour whereas the servants are wearing plain black and white outfits to show they are plain and simple. this then reinforces the stereotype as upperclass have money therefore they have rich clothes (with colour) and the servants are in the working class which means they are not rich so they only wear plain and simple clothing. The colour in this scene shows that the upperclass are very dull, Although they may seem to have money and their clothes may have colour compared to the servants, the colours used are very dull. The colours include, Rich Reds and Purples, along with the typical gold and silver. This Challenges the stereotype of upperclass as you see them as wealthy so you see them as being colourful.

When the Lady Ship was bathing and the maid was in the same room, they were filmed in separate shots although they could easily be fitted into one shot having a conversation. this is to show that Upper and Working class shouldn't mix and do not deserve to be in the same shot.
