representation of age through editing-micro analysis

Representation of age through editing


















There is a high angle of the characters sitting at the table with the eldest character sat at the head of the table. This is a representational issue of age, emphasising the eldest character's superiority. There The youngest character is sat between the two adults to emphasise her vulnerability and interest in the elder character as she asks questions about his life. Then the camera clips between back and forth between the characters to capture the dialogue and their facial expressions. The shot is clipped longer on the eldest character whereas the other characters are shot and clipped at a less amount of time. The camera clips at a high angle of the characters sitting around the table again to emphasise the eldest character sitting at the head of the table, which supports the representational issue of age. 

The shot clips quickly between the characters but stays longer on the eldest character as he explains his life story. This is a representational issue of age as the eldest character is seen as significant as he explains his life story. Then there is a mid shot of the other characters together, however, a close up shot that lasts a few seconds longer with the elder character. 

The camera then clips quickly between the characters to capture their reactions to what the eldest character said in which the shot lasts longer on the eldest character. Then there is another high angle shot of the characters sitting at the table to emphasise the eldest character superiority. There is a slight pan towards the eldest character as he is explaining his story to the other characters. The camera clips back and forth between the characters as they listen to the story in which the shot lasts longer on them to capture their facial expression. 

As the eldest character explains his story, he makes a point in which the camera clips between the characters to emphasise their facial expressions and then it is edited back to the eldest character in which the shot lasts a few seconds longer. Then there is another high angle shot to emphasise that the eldest character is well respected. 

The camera then clips between the mother and daughter in which is is edited to clip onto the mother covering her hand over her daughter's hand, which is a representational issue of age.
