The first few minutes of the clip no non-diegetic soundtrack is played. We are then introduced to the first sound effect through the rustling of an evolope, this emphasises that this is only meant for business and they are not a young couple.
There is still no soundtrack, this is because the producers don't want to make it easy for the auduience as they want them to feel the awkwardness between the call girl and the disabled boy. There is a loud ambient sound when she is locking the door, to show the vulnerability of the boy.
Pure dialogue begins between the boy and girl which is short, stilted and still awkward. Both the father and call girl leave their sentences unfinished to help emphasise the awkwardness but also the nervous feeling from the father. The awkward silences draws attention to the reason why the young lad is there, this helps construct his disability in an indirect way which is something new for the both of them.
The storyline is about his disability and this is shown through the soundtrack. A diegetic soundtrack is played to show the fidgiting and anciety of the father. The diegetic sound is classical music, not suitable for the fathers opposite feelings. Sound effects shows his anxious and nervous leaving his disabled son alone.
A soundbridge, slow and depressing is used to cross-cut from the fathers restlessness to the girl and boy getting down to business. The main instrument used in the non-diegetic sound is an harmonica which is usually used to play the blues. The soundtrack helps reflect the dialogue and makes the audience feel sympathetic towards him and his disability.
All tasks acceptable.
