The clip of 'Monarch of the Glen' starts with a dolly shot so the audience can fully appreciate the men working and it helps to see the hard tools of labour. There is an over the shoulder shot which shows the conversation between Amy and the young lad and it is followed by a long shot for the audience to get an understanding with the usage of Amy’s body language.
The usage of a medium long shot helps us to focus on the young girl, Amy and it also helps us establish the location and the representation of the young girl. When Amy is in the car, a close-up and a dolly shot is used to show the concentration on her face and the fear shown in her eyes.
For the crash a high-angle shot and a medium long-shot helps shows the audience the location with the crash in the foreground, this emphasises the conflict between ages and shows the costume of the headmaster. A tilt helps the audience to establish the height difference, and panning from one person to another conveys the high status of Paul.
There is a close-up of Amy, eye level to show the hesitation in her eyes. A two shot is followed on showing the difference of age and Amy’s vulnerability. The audience also gets a sense of Amy’s vulnerability through a tilt which reveals the close-up of the note she leaves behind. We are shown around her room where there is a slow zoom on the photograph, which emphasises the emotion that she reveals which builds up to her overreaction and representation of age. The usage of a tilt helps the audience appreciate we are outside looking in. We are shown the elderly lady’s maternal feeling towards Amy through a medium close-up when she heads over to the window trying to see where Amy may have run to. We become eye level with the middle aged man, Paul and a close-up to see the sense of guilt he is feeling after he hears the news about Amy’s runaway.
