Dialogue
'ain't' is a commonly used phrase by cockney locals, so the dialogue represents the geographical area. It also implies that the individual is from a working class background as it is slang and not proper English.
'Yes mam' represents the social status of Amy Dorrit being of lower class as she has less authority of the other characters.

Costume
We can see by the costumes used throughout the film that the long dresses, bonnets, top hats, canes and smart entire represent the time period of the film and that it is from a historical time.

Diegetic Sound
The creaking of the floorboards in the old house symbolises that the setting is old and poor as the construction is falling apart and hasn't been replaced.

Non-Diegetic Sound
The folk music used in the scene represents the geographical are as it is traditional English music.

Setting
The film states that the setting is in Marshalsea Debtors Prison which was a famous London prison represents the TV Drama as being in a working class area that is poor.

Props
The use of horse and carriage, as well as the wheel barrow represents the time period that the film is based in because these are not modern day technologies and are rarely seen in this era.

Variety of shots (close up)
The beginning close up shot of the baby compared to the other wide shots of the other characters, represents that the baby is more important and is the focus of the film.
