What is regional identity?
Regional identity is identifying a person which is rooted not only in the setting of the film but also in speech, costumes etc and in the region they live in.

Liverpool – Scousers
P.E.E - Regional Identity
Shameless
In the TV drama Shameless, the accents and setting help the audience identify where the characters are from (region). Us as an audience can tell that this TV drama is set in Manchester because of the way the characters speak. The setting is a council estate which is dark and dingy, usually associated with lower class poorer people. Both characters we see in this clip look and sound drunk. This is very stereotypical of people that live in Manchester, e.g. 'Mancunians'.
Brookside
The accents, dialogue and costumes in the TV drama Brookside help show the region identity. The clothes that the characters are wearing are quite 'chavy', the clothes are usually those of poorer families. The audience can tell that the characters are from Liverpool because of their accents and the way that they speak. The characters are portrayed as violent, and nosey; while the younger characters are fighting, the older characters are coming outside to see what is happening. People from Liverpool are stereotypically known as 'Scousers'.
The Only Way Is Essex
In The Only Way Is Essex the regional identity is being shown through the characters accents, the way they talk and the make-up/costumes. As it says in the title, this TV drama is set in Essex. The audience can hear that as of the way the characters speak. The characters shorten some words; for example 'Surge Verge' this means surgery virgin, another example is 'Well Jell' this means very jealous. This way of speaking is very typical in Essex, mainly with the females. The way they dress is very classy, but some elements of the characters are 'fake', this includes the fake tan, hair, teeth, etc. They look higher class, but they don't really sound like it.
Made In Chelsea
In the TV drama Made In Chelsea, the regional identity is being shown through the way the characters speak (accents), and they way that they dress (costumes). The characters in this TV drama are stereotypically 'posh' and 'well spoken'. The males are well groomed and are wearing suites, the females look classy and are wearing beautiful dresses. Both the way the characters speak and they way they dress make them higher class.
