In this episode of the teenage drama 90210, cameraworks in used to represent age. In my experience of watching this series through, cameraworks is used a lot in order to show the age of person.
Through the first 1-2minutes of the episode, we see two of the teenage girls having a discussion based on boy troubles. Through a close up shot of the two girls', we can see their reactions of what one another is saying. The audience can see that the two characters are talking to one another due to the talking space left in the shots.
It's through the close up that we see how each person is reacting. In terms of Age, the conversation that the two characters are having suggests a typical teenage conversation about 'a high school crush.'
Also, through the camera works, we see how old the character is. through a long shot, the mis-en-scene shows what items of clothing the girl is wearing. She is wearing green and white high heels, white skinny jeans and a green sleeveless top. When the camera is on a long shot we can see that she is a teenager aged between 16-18 because she is wearing fashionable clothes and struting down her school hallway like she is on a catwalk.
Through the use of different shots, age is represented. We see a two shot of a mother and father having an arguement and through the two shot, their age is represented and we can see that they are aruging about an adult issue because we see reactions later in the close up of the mother.
This is a much better attempt to discuss how age is represented through camera work ( and a little on mise-en-scene). Do a spell check before you publish though as there are some errors that could be avoided.
