The establishing shot shows the rural surroundings of a busy working farm up north in Scotland. Regional identity shows us that in the scene a traditional Scottish farmer is dressed in tweed and flat caps with a very strong Scottish accent. The non-diegetic soundtrack shows an acoustic guitar sound showing a laid back atmosphere suggesting things on this farm are run very smoothly.
The camera pans across to a teenage girl strolling out of the farm house quite quickly with a worried expression on her face and she wants to talk to the young man. Both of these characters are dressed in a very casual way in what suits there age group such as jeans and a hooded top, this can represent that they as somewhat rebellious and do not want to fit in with the Scottish stereotype.
The older character being the headmaster is in a formal suit which has connotations with authority and power as he is dressed very smartly, his voice speaks in a normal English dialect and is quite a loud bold voice making him appear dominant within the group and to stand out. His language and posture shows an authority which comes with age for example as you get older you seem to have more power over things. The Head teacher’s manner while speaking to a younger teenager shows that he has more power to us and the girl is the opposite end to this situation appearing as the weak one. She is shown as a timid character by the camera angles and we get worried facial expressions throughout this scene.
