Monarch of the glen-

Monarach of the Glen notes-Notes The clip is about a girl who goes to work for some people whom she lies to about her age and the fact that she shoud be in school taking her exams.
During the first scene there are no children but the environment is one of hard work which is generally associated with manly and grown up, hard laboured work.
The ypunger people are depicted through the clothes they wear, which is casual whereas the adults are more smartly dressed. When the 16 year old girl is told to go run an errand and to take the car, her actions show uncertainty and a little bit of scare. This is what is known as body langauge and is always a good and clear way to show a characters feelings and thoughts. The scene in which the man comes over after the girl has crashed, depicts the girls child like ways that are still instilled in her, when she almost goes over to the man like a father and again this is a form of body language used to show that the girl is still only a child. The room in which the man takes the principal shows a very old setting, through the wooden panelling, hence portraying that the location itself is also very old. The room is again a very adult place where a teenager would definately not feel very at home especially when we see the brandy is in a decanter on the table , not put away, which insures even more that it is an adult room where children should never go. The girl's childish ways are portrayed mostyly through her body langauage again when she screams 'i hate you'! This is the action and words of a inantile childish person. The girls room is also filled with magazines that are usually read by young teengers, not even an older teenager. Her room is full of pink and girl things which give the impression of her state of mind still in that childish phase. The body language of the old woman at the end when she says ' Amy's run way' shows the worry and maternal instincts for the girl that have developed.
