In the TV reality/drama programs 'Made in chelsea' and 'The only way is essex' class and status is shown very differently. Made in chelsea follows the lives of the young, filthy rich and glamorous living in chelsea (London). The reality stars discus love lives and gossip. They also drive around showing off expensive cars. The area of London is notoriously expensive and the houses/apartments are big and mostly painted white/cream colours. The girls in the reality show dress very preppy and they seem to be wearing 'going out' clothes in everyday situations e.d dresses and heels. The men also dress smartly wearing designer suits or up market high street brands. The way they preset themselves is important because we can build up their character and personality. A soundbridge is put into the episode so that different scenes can merge together. The music set the fast pace of the scene and the speed of the car create a fast pace to the scene. we can also judge someone class by their accent for example the people in made in chelsea have a posh, intellectual accent and don't use that much slang.

'The only way is essex' is something quite the opposite, the people have an unnatural appearance e.g they wear a lot of make-up and most of them have had some kind of surgery to enhance their body appearance. Chloe for example has had breast implants and lip fillers and she plays up to her feminine wilds. The close-ups, mid shots and high angles shots also focus in on her figure and supports 'the male gaze'. The people in 'The only way is essex' also have very different accents, they use a lot more slang and explicit language. Giving the impression that they are middle/low class. The similarities would be that both groups of people from these two Tv programs discus the same issues. love lives e.t.c. They also both like to dress as if they are on a night out even when they're just going to the shops. The idea of having expensive cars to show your wealth and class status is also shown in 'The only way is essex' E.g Kirk having a Ferrari.
