Non-Verbal Communication;
The main character is seen in the van looking around the drivers area and trying to work out what is what, her body language represents her age as she looks unsure about driving but does not tell anyone but instead drives to give the impression she is old enough too. Her body language is a huge representation of her immaturity when the cars crash. When she is confronted by the older man who gets out of his car to see the damage, she childishly moves away from the cars and hides behind the fatherly character who makes her feel secure as he is much bigger than her and acts like a shield in this scenario.
We also see mature representation through non-verbal communication. When the two cars crash the fatherly character is very protective of the younger girl and allows her to hide behind him whilst he stands upfront to fight her battle with the old man.
Costume;
Throughout the clip we see adults dressed better and more presentable that the younger girl and boy, showing that they are more intelligent and wiser than them with more authority also. We see the main female character talking with a young male character whilst he is sweeping up. The male is wear a hooded jumper which is a stereotype of young peoples clothing, also shown through the girls casual laid back clothing which is the usual presentation of a young teenager. We see an older man who the girl has a car crash with, he had a beard which indicates his older and he is smartly dressed which highlights that he is an adult with maturity and authority.
Props;
Straight away in the opening shot we are shown a group of males loading tools onto trucks, this instantly symbolizes that they are doing hard labour which is very mature and manly. This representation is contrasted after woods as we see a young boy sweeping the garden which highlights he is younger as he doesn't have such a mature job of helping with muscular tools, illustrating that he still has child like jobs to do.
We see the middle aged male character and the older man talking in an office which looks very mature as is it an oak paneling room which is very tidy with oak tables, books, pillars and brandy. These props represent that the room is old but in good condition, suggesting that it is not a place that young people are welcome. This is also indicated by the brandy which is openly available on the table which could be a sign of no underage children to be allowed in there. Brandy is also a very mature and masculine drink which symbolizes the two male characters who are in the shot.
In contrast to this scene, we are shown the room of the young girl. We see child like props in the room such as; teddies on her bed and pillow, girly magazines which are colourful and appear to be for young teenagers, notes she leaves that have names which are childishly decorated with a picture of a flower also, pink fairy lights around the mirror and pictures stuck around the edge of the mirror. All these objects clarify the girls young age and lack of maturity which has been hidden through the clip but is now revealed.
Location;
We see the middle aged male character and the older man talking in an office which looks very mature as is it an oak paneling room which is very tidy with oak tables which showed an older generation which reflected the two characters and books suggested that the persons who office it is was well educated. This is not the type of room that would belong to a younger person or a place in which young teenagers where aloud because of the props which was available within the room.
