Analysis of the Mise en Scence on a clip from the series Monarch of The Glen.

At the beginning of the clip, we see men sorting out of tools of hard labour. There are no children and the Adults are generally dressed in working clothes.In the next part of the clip theres a young boy and girl more casually dressed in jeans and t-shirts. When the older, more mature man asks her if she can drive she seems unsure, we can see from her facial expressions and body language that she is younger than she makes out. When the girl crashes the car the victim is dressed smartly but also casually like a teacher in trousres and a smart jacket. The girl automatically goes to the adult and is shaken by the incident, this is a very child like action. The adults then retreat into a house and go into a very old fashioned style of room to discuss the girl. in this scene we don't see the girl as it is a more official setting only adults are present. The man offers the headteacher Brandy and the drink is in a decanter which also shows status and class. When the young girl is told to go and pack her things she throws a tantrum and shouts 'i hate you'. The next scene shows men and tools who seem very focused on the work and the country music signify they are working on some sort of farm. The teenage girls room is full of pink accessories, magazines and teddy bears this shows that she is quite young minded. The older women portrays a motherly instinct when the girl goes missing and she seems worried like the girl is her granddaughter.
