Representations of age, family and relationships
Throughout the clip we are introduced to a couple who are sitting not too close to eachother. They're wearing bright colours that contradict their age. They seem to be in their late thirties.
The editing of the part when the daughter is introcuding her boyfriend to her parents tells us the emotions and feelings by her parents, the camera is set close on them as we see their faces drop. It then focuses on the fathers face and back to the boyfriends face which represents the fathers views on the new boyfriend, he's not too pleased as the boyfriend is way older than his 20 year old daughter.
The parents were sitting opposite the daughter and boyfriend, the couple seemed very close and the boyfriend had his arm around his girlfriend whereas the mother and father were sitting further apart. The relationship between the parents doesnt seem very strong nor fun in comparison to their daughters relationship.
As the boyfriend and the daughter are leaving, Steve ( the boyfriend ) reaches out his hand to shake the fathers hand but the father puts his hands in his pockets, then Steve quickly moves his arm. The editing in this scene represents the relationship between the two men, it shows that they're not going to get on well together.
