at the start of the clip we are faced with a dolly shot, this is used to make the audience appreciate the work that the men are doing, this shows the representation of age. The dolly shot is smooth, which lets the audience grasp the action that is happening.

When the audience are presented with the younger boy and girl, they use an over the shoulder shot to focus the attention on the main attraction, the young girl, this allows the audience to notice about the body language she is portraying and the way she is dressed to show her age.

When we see the young girl in the drivers seat of the car, there is both a close up. By using the close up the audience are able to establish here emotion by her body language. The close up shows to the audience that she is uncertain about how to drive a car.

When the tall man hears what the headmaster has got to say we are faced with a close up on his face. This is used to show that he is confused about what he is being told.

The audience are at the young girls eye level when the tall man realises what has happened. The audience start to feel sorry for her, it is almost as if we are in the girls shoes as an audience. When the young girl runs to the mother like figure, we are presented with a two shot, used to show that she is being protected by the mother like figure.

When the men are working a range of shots are shown, these are a series of close ups, and low angle shots, this is used to show the skill that is put into the work that the men are doing.

There is a pan shot when we see the teddy bears. But we don’t see a wide shot to show the location as an audience we have to try and work out where they are ourselves. We are faced with a tilt shot and a pan shot together around the objects which give away the location. There is also a slow zoom which focuses in on a photograph, all of the items that are shown it all builds up the emotion of the girl and how she is feeling, which highlights the representation of the girls age.

When we are presented with a medium close up, of the older women, we see the emotion in her face, which portrays her feelings about the girl running away This presents her age as being the older generation.

When the older lady tells the man about the young girl running away, the audience are then transferred to the tall mans level, this portrays the audience that he is guilty and feels it is his fault, this shows the audience that he did care, and he is acting in a father role to the girl. This is the very last shot which leaves the clip on a cliff hanger leaving the audience in in the tall mans shoes and feeling guilty.
