There are many aspect of this soap which signifies the representation of; age, relationship and family.
For example sound is one important Technic which represented age, relationships and family, be it conversations between the characters or natural surrounding objects and even footsteps. I observed the sound by listing them from the beginning and then drawing link to each representations. the obvious sound in the clip was the conversation that took place between the four characters, it showed the age, family and relationships. The father being loud, bold and blunt confirmed his age, as he had little control which suggested that his on verge of old age and has sort of lost his maturity and control over his emotions, thoughts and feelings. However it also represented family and relationship because he was either protective of his daughter as a father or wanted to be showing, weak relationships. The mother however was calm and more soothing representing family and relationship as she tried her hard to understand the situation and then balance  the family and relationships, working as bridge between the father and daughter. the parent both worked as a team which again showed a stronger relationship between the  two both had equal say and understood each other. other surrounding object sounds such the foot steps, slam of the door and even the breathing, was signifying the emptiness and awkwardness of of this family and their relationship.

moving on to the camera and how each shot defined the representation of age, family and relationship. A shot medium shot showed body languages and the characters expressions which they did to emote their emotions and feeling and thoughts. The long shot of the four characters standing together that including the furniture of the house, gave a lot meaning, the perfectness, and the colours used where also signifying age, family and relationship, white symbolising pureness, innocent and the love which was perhaps strong form the parent. On the other hand the very first shot was crane or rising shot which showed the age as the furniture's of the house where expensive suggesting a well established couple or family, this would mean experience which represents age. The angles of these shot where quite interesting because at times the daughter and her boyfriend's medium shot included both the couple in the frame however it only showed one of the each of the parent, either mum or the dad. this suggests the relationship differed from one another. The costume is another thing that helped represent age, family and relationships, there was a contrast in representation of age between the parent and the daughter with boyfriend as the parent wore a more bright young colours that coordinated with each other unlike the daughter with boyfriend who dressed in darker, dull matured colours.

the editing connects the mise en scene as overall presentation  of the clip and it way of defining age, family and relationship. lighting would be something that is played with to reveal characters, their expressions and emotions, this helps audience to understand them and define the representation of age, family and relationships. The mise en scene again the character way of dressing up, their makeup and hairstyle all showed the representation of age contrasting between the two generation couples, the parents and the daughter with her partner.the colours contrasted but it also showed relationship appearing different, the relationship being strong within the couples but weak as a family.
