How is Youth represented in this Clip?

After watching this clip, I discovered that youth has been represented in various ways, such as, Sound, Mis en Scene, Editing and Camera Shots as follows:


Camera Shots

• The camera looks down onto the child when he brakes into the wealthy man's house which in actual fact is the man is looking down on the child, this shows that he does not think much of the boy. Additionally, this suggests to the audience that the man is superior to the boy, giving the man authority and a high class appeal.

Editing

• Cross cutting - displaying what is happening in the party and also showing Sid and Cassie talking on the trampoline.

Mis en Scene

• Clothing - most characters are dressed in youthful, stylish clothes.
• The setting is at a party which is a location typically associated with teenagers, the connotations are drinking and fighting which is evident in this clip.
• Colloquial language - emphasises  teenagers not bothering to speak correctly, they use swearing and slang, such as "safe" describing something which is good.
• A trampoline is included as part of the set, displaying the characters are juvenile and youthful.
• When the three boys first enter the clip, they say they have already had two bottles of vodka, signifying to the viewer that it will be a messy party. 
• This clip juxtaposes the idea of bad behaviour and criminals, for example stealing phones when the teens arrive at the party, with the ide that there is helium balloons and amusing music empohasising innocence.
• Additionally, the big mansion does not fit in with the idea of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and fighting.
• The character Sid, who was situated with Cassie on the trampoline wears childish clothes revealing his youthfulness, and giving the audience and impression that he is cute.
• The viewer witnesses girls fighting which challenges stereotypes.
• In this clip, the dialogues are closely linked to teen issues, such as, anorexia.
• Whilst on the trampoline, Cassie and Sid hold hands emphasising innocence as this is a symbol of young children, the setting is quite intimate which juxtaposes the idea of innocence.

Sound 

There is both diagetic and non-diagetic sound featured in this clip.

• Bob Marley music when  the teens steal phones and other electrical items, which is the reggae genre and sounds rather amusing. 
• Shouting at the party
• When the fight begins when everybody is drunk at the party, rock music begins to play loudly emphasising youth as it appeals more to the teenage generation rather than older people. This reinforces the darker, more evil type of atmosphere.
