The setting of the monarch of glen is in a secluded village, which due to the accents used in the TV drama is regionally north of england.The scenes from the clip shown takes place on a farm like premises, with the workers in the process of either building or taking down a project.
Nearly everybody in the scene shown is dressed in smart casual ware. With emphasis on the workers wearing builders protection. Also here is where the first representation of age is shown in the clothing worn.
The scene is highly light as it’s a dull day outside therefore it would be unnatural if all the characters were brightly light up.
The monarch of the glen constricts the representation of age in a number of ways, including clothing, body language, character behaviour and belongings. At first the age of the girl (Amy) is unknown until she starts the car. Here her body language and words mimicked to herself show her vulnerability and the fact that she lied to the question if she could drive could also be seen to show a sign of immaturity. Age is also (primarily) shown by the clothes worn by the characters. The younger girl wears casual hoodies while the father figure of the farm is shown in more mature clothing. Once the headmaster from Amy’s school comes into shot it is clearly shown he is even older by the dated clothing he chooses to wear. If age isn’t shown enough by clothing it is also shown in behaviour. Amy shouts “I HATE YOU!” making her out to be immature whilst the older man talks down to her as if she were his own child.
Lastly age is shown by the belongings which Amy owns. As she runs off the details of her room are shown. Showing both teddies and lots of pink accessories also the young teen mags she possesses.
