A strong way in where the camera shots in monarch of the glen represent age is where the 16 year olds age is revealed. As soon as the audience is made aware that she still goes to school there is a dramatic increase in the number of low angle shots. Low angle shots of other characters give the audience the feeling of being her and her age, making you feel smaller and less powerful than the adults around you.
After the young girl crashes the car the camera is a two shot. It is a medium close up of the two males but a close up of the 16 year olds face. This shows the height difference and makes the girl look very young and innocent as if she’s hiding behind her father. When the camera returns to the head teacher it is a medium shot. The camera pans from the girls face up to the man then down to her again, this shows the audience how small she is thus representing how old she is.
When the two males go into the office the camera is moving on a dolly very slowly to show the audience how grown up/masculine the room is. This camera movement is best suited for this scene because the audience cant help but notice the objects such as the drink glass and desk, this represents the males age.
In the young girls bedroom the camera tilts down from her photos, then down to her hand written note. This is done to show her typical girly bedroom. It reveals her pink coloured wall paper perhaps making her out to be a typical feminine child. The camera slowly pans right to show her teddy bear. The bear also shows how young she is. The camera panning to the right and moving away from the note and bear, give the audience the feeling that she is moving on and leaving all of her past behind her.
The camera zooming into her photo represents age because it is a picture of her when she was allot younger. The audience can see that the girl looks unhappy and perhaps wants to go back to the time that is in her picture.
The camera being physically outside the building makes the audience feel like the girl who feels like an outcast.
when the older lady enters the room the camera shot is a medium long shot, this enables the audience to see what the woman is wearing. The grey cotton jacket makes the lady look far older representing that she is possibly to old to be her mum but still looks as though she has the maternal instinct and has treated the young girl like her daughter.
