A non diegeitc sound is used at the start of the scene, it is a quick and sudden sound of brass. This creates a bit of a bang that grabs attention.
From then on there is no added sound used for a few minuites. There are many unfinished sentences and the fact there is no soundtrack helps emphasize the akward atmosphere and showing theres no flow of convosation.
When the woman locks the door the sound is emphasized, this is to make us aware of the sound because it's relevant to the next convosation.
In the next scene when the man puts on the radio, he turns it off because it does not reflect his anxious mood, this is an example of asynchrony.
A slow soundtrack starts that matches his emotions, and a sound bridge occurs continuing the music to the next scene in the bedroom which also matches the sexual mood that is taking place. However, the slow sentimental music also follows the sad emotions the boy is showing. The music helps the audience feel the sympathy for him.

An action match is used to show the completed action from the living room to the bed room, where the rest of the scene will be carried out.
A shot reverse shot is used twice between two characters in different circumstances. Whilst in the bedroom the shot reverse shots are slow, this shows stuttering and uncertenty within a convosation. The second time it's used is when she locks the door, the cuts are elongated to show worried look on the childs face and more uncertenty with the woman to if she should unlock the door.

Camera Action Analysis
A wide shot is used to set the opening scene, then pans to the right to show action.
A medium long shot is used to capture clothes on the characters to give the audience an idea of their lifestyle, which in this case their clothes are very bland and casual. The medium long shot also shows body language and helps to express emotions.
A close up is used when the young girl is in the car, this is used to show confused look on her face. It captures her talking to herself to show she is anxious.
Another wide shot is used to show a new locaiton.
A mis shot is used to show the headmaster and the clothes he is wearing which it typical of a head master. This helps the audience form a description of the headmaster.
The camera tilts up and down to show different reactions the character shows. This also connotes the idea that the camera is tilting due to the hight and ages of the characters which relates to the scene.
A composistion shot is also used to show a mother-daughter bond.
A wide shot it used to show a new location again. It is also used to show the detailed wooden walls of a large room, which connotes wealth.
During an argument, over the shoulder shot it used, this is so the audience can put themself into the characters position and feel as though they are possibly recieveing the argument.
A montarage is used to show time has passed and it's later in the day.
After the drama that unfolded about the girls age, the camera tilts down onto her bed to showing child like magazines and a card with young writting on it, then pans to the right to show even more childish items, e.g. teddy. It then zooms in from seeing her get ready infront of the mirror to a photograph of her family. This suggests that she no longer has the happy memory and that she is going to retaliate.
A tilt it used to show the audience that the child has left from a window, not a door, to show exaggeration to her exit, which could possibly have a danger element to it.

In many 'cop shop' dramas there is a policeman who breaks the rules.
The police man who breaks the rules follows a typical sterotype apperance of a policeman in the UK. He is white, middle aged and claims to follow the law and enforce it.
However, he contradics himself and breaks the law, but represents himself as a law abinding citizen who wants justice, another less common stereotype he follows.
