The scene starts with a long take, this shows the people and and the setting, they are
clearly 'country folk' they are wearing, practical working clothes. It also shows the back-
ground of a quite mountainous region. which again shows the audience of the regional identity of the people without stereotypes connotations.




This next scene comes straight from an ellipsis of the last one it jumps from a scene of the elderly men packing a van, to a young girl jogging through a door. There is also a reverse shot in this were we see the movement of the camera between the faces of the three chracters on screen.



There is invisible editing used here to create a smooth transition once she has caught the keys and then when she walks over to the vehicle shortly behind the other male character.



There is then an action match then used she turns the engine on and we see her drive round the corner, a few seconds later we hear a crash. The crash noise is non-diegetic. There is also a cutaway used to take us to the crash from the previous scene.



There are lots of short takes in this section they are also mixed with reverse shots as we see lots of different characters. The camera flicks between faces as they take turns to speak.



There is another cutaway shot used when they have finnished arguing it goes straight to a new scene. there is visible editing used in it, we firstly see fields with a perfect rainbow, then are given jumpy folk music in the background of the men working.



Here we see a montage editing, it allows the audience a glimpse at all the different jobs being done. But it doesnt take long to show it.
