The extract begins with a edited transition where the shot is dissolved to show a low angle shot of a pig pen in which we can see a female farmer feeding her pigs.The female is dressed in a casual attire of a long kahki trench coat a farmers cap and wellington boots.Her costume gives connotations of a working class lady which is further supported by the fact she is in a pig pen doing manual labour.The camera is looking up to show how she is trying to do well for herself and her family and how she is focussed on her work. Diagetic sound of her walking across the mud and the food clinking in the bucket shows the natural sounds that come when living in the yorkshire moors.The use of this sound shows social realism in a conventional soap drama as it links to real life farms in which people would be exposed to these noises.In this section the regional identity of yorkshire people is represented as being hardworking and speaking in a loud voice.

The use of a mid-shot shows the female character sorting out letters and mail. This adds a realistic view to her life and highlights that this is her house, the use of diegetic sound also enhances the realism of a middle-class life as we hear her husband making the tea and her rustling the letters, these sounds all appear stereotypical of the everyday life of a middle class family. The mise-en-scene and sound is present so the audience can relate to this atmosphere and also gives us an insight into the social class of the programmes intended audience.
