Freak: Ethnicity..

The idea that one girl alone has got no choice other than to stand out from the rest of the group shows us that she is not wanted or not liked. This is clearly represented through camera works more than anything else.
We see clearly that the young teenage girl is always by herself and is called a 'Freak' by her step-brother all the time. This is represented through the camera works. We see this representation of camera works when there is a long shot of the girl all by herself. Throughout the clip of the episode, we also see the girl in a close up shot. We see that she has got no make up on and doesn't do much to her hair. This tells us that she does not fit in to the group of 'girlie girls' at all. This can also be classified as mis-en-scene because it's what is including in her props and costumes section.
There is also the group of 'rowdy' or 'rough' teenagers. These are the step-brother's friends and all of their friends. They are loud, messy and do things that they are not supposed to be doing. We see this from sound such as foul speech, shouting and screaming & arguements. We also this from editing. We can see clearly that the step-brother using a large metal tool in order to break open a swimming centre with his girlfriend and the rest of his friends. This is another group of people who are different from the girl.
