Shameless-Representation (sexuality and regional identity)

How are regional identity and sexuality represented in the opening sequence of Shameless episode 1?

Stereotype- The stereotype of the Shameless family is the tipical middle class stereotype. which live on each other and are very close as a family and get by on respect on each other. You would expect a rough middle class family be good but to be causing trouble however in Shameless one of the lads is gay and has hidden it for a while.

Mise en sence- Tere is alot of shot of Frank passed out because the is the drunk of the family but also because he is the narrator of Shameless. But when Frank is narrayting it will focuse on the charictars that the is talking about. And there older sister is showing lips how to put on a comdom showing that even she knows that they are all trouble makers and sexurly active which makes it more surprizing hyow one of them is gay.

Music- The opening music is alot of people singing at the same time which i think is also saying that Shameless is about all members of the family. But Franks voice is over the top when he is recaping or describing what is happening.

Camera work- There is alot of different shots e.g. close, long, hand held ect. But there is some shots that when Frank is passed out the camera is acting like he is Frank looking at every one like he is watching them.
