To do well:

  • start your response with a short paragraph that is a solid basis, an overview of how you understand the place, people, issues
  • use a cohesive, holistic approach - you could analyse both the scenes featuring the reception boys together
  • write in an analytical not descriptive way

Answer the question below, with detailed reference to specific examples from the extract only.

1   Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs representations using the following:
  • Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
