Transitioning from the woman to the disabled boy then up to his father helps make the audience feel the awkwardness between the three. Showing all the charectors faces separately emphasizes the awkwardness they are experiencing around the young boys disability.
Match on action is used when the father picks his son up out of his wheelchair, this makes the action look more realistic, a seem-less action that draws the audience into noticing that the young boy has genuine problems with standing up.
continuity editing is used throughout the clip to keep the clip smooth running and easy for the audience to establish how awkward the situation is because of the mans disability.
The eye line match from when the shot is of the boy sitting in bed too the girl locking the door emphasizes to the audience the boys sense of insecurity and worry. If the boy was not disabled he would perhaps not be this cautious and the woman would not have felt as awkward about locking her door.
Shot reverse shot is used in this clip because it shows how fast the pace is between the two characters and it makes the audience feel like the two characters are trying to respond quickly to clear the awkward silence that there has been around the boys disability.
The cross cutting between the boy in bed and his dad in his van represents the boys disability because it is showing how nervous his dad is because of it. Without this cross cut the audience may not be aware of why the dad is so fidgety for because it could look like a different situation in the clip, but it shows that the two are linked.
The use of the series of jump shots speeds the clip up of the father sitting in his van and shows the actions he has performed in that time, from playing the radio, to playing with the windows and honking the horn. This again shows how nervous he is about his son not being in his comfort zone and having someone else look after his son and his disability.
