Questions
The representation of age is shown throughout this clip and
through mise en scene, camera, editing and sound.
With the first scene it shows the representation of a middle
aged man and two young teenage boys. The man is representation stereo typically
as he acts like he is wiser than the two teenagers and patronises them through
how he speaks down to the two boys. He is also very sarcastic towards them to
show he has authority over them and can talk and act almost as he was without
no reaction. Whereas on the other hand, the two teenage boys are represented as
foolish through breaking the camera and trying to hide the fact they broke the
camera. They also show to lack intelligence as they try to get out of
punishment by making excuses however you can easily see that the teacher knows
they are lying which shows the two teenagers naivety and lack of intelligence. Also
the fact the two teenage boys are lying shows that they will try anything to
get out of trouble and get away with the foolish acts they do.
The second teacher who comes in who is younger represents how
inexperienced she is and the lack of authority she has compared to the older
teacher as she does not sanction the two boys and the two teenagers try harder
to miss punishment with her than the much older more experienced teacher.
The students are represented in two ways during this clip. Firstly
they are seen as foolish, cocky and not caring about anything which shows the
lack of discipline show to them which could be the result of troubled from their
parents which they can get away with anything.
The other way students and the teenagers are perceived as is
‘nerdy’ with the teenagers are clever, dress smartly and are presentable. They
also are seen conservative and laid back and they don’t want to be the centre
of attention and laid back but are clever and take school seriously.
