Age
Age is represented through the mis-en-scene used.
At the start of the series, we see a young teenage girl with a ‘boy cut’ hairstyle which was very short and she was wearing a step brother’s clothes. This represented her character. As well as this, it told us that she was a tomboy and wasn’t into girly stuff however was more into something that we would expect a boy to enjoy. She was a dull character who generally put herself across as a dark person. We see her age through this because she didn’t go out a lot and she didn’t have the latest hairstyles, clothing items, etc which told us that therefore she was a young girl, maybe around the age of 13 or 14, just getting into her teenage years. She also enjoyed playing video games with her step brother and his friends however because she was younger, they never let her join in.
In difference to the above, age is represented through the camera works. Her step brother looks around the age of 17 or 18. We know this because we see how he behaves around his friends and his girlfriend. Age is shown when he gives his step sister a £10 note. We know this makes him an older person because he money which means he may be earning with a job or be in charge and hold power, telling us that he is older than her. He also spends a lot of his nights and days out with friends or at parties. We see one specific scene where him and his girlfriend break into a swimming pool centre and then invite all of their friends around to have a party. Age is represented through editing as well. The edits are done to show us reactions and behaviour of each character.
