How does Mise en scene help to construct the representation of age?

The story is set in a  rural environment and usually when we talk about the country side,people stereotypically think about old men and women(mainly farmers.) So the location, Wales, gives us a rough idea on the age group of people we're more luckily to see throughout the small extract and on the same note we see a goupe of men, country men carry gardening tools of labor. And the mansion or castle where they live in seems to be very old, and especially the room in which Emy's headmaster was having a conversation with her uncle. It's looks very old with old furniture, neat, calm, you can tell that it's a every posh environment comes out of the way things been placed and it's definitively not a room where you could find kids. So the room also shows something about the representation of age, as in what kind of people get to chill there. And there's Emy's room, a nice big room very colorful unlike the previous room with a nice red bed shit, teddy bears and a nice mirror. This is very good contrast of people from different age groups living in the house but who have different taste and conception of things.


In terms of costume & makeup, we have the country men wearing their brown/black coats and you can tell that they're hard workers by the way they position themselves, things carry and their body language. Them there's the younger ones, the boy and the young girl who are wearing a bit more casual clothes, especially the young girl a she's wearing a white blouse, jeans and trainers. Her clothes make her stand out a bit more from the farmers as if she is not from  there. Later on we see the girl's school headmaster who wears some old fashion clothes (grey blazer, shirt and tie on, grey hair, beard...with glasses) and we can clearly see the difference of age, cultural groups between them.


In terms of body language, Emy react like the teenager she is, when she tell them she can drive when she clearly can't and ends up crashing into the headmaster's car, and that tell us something about young people's behavior always putting themselves in trouble without thinking. And her facial expression when she gets off of the car and tries to hide behind her guardian like a typical kind after doing very big mistake. And there the headmaster who looks very serious and calm even when he shouts at Emy. And Emy's guardian who has sense of authority that we see throughout the extract, he basically represents the adult responsible who has a big charisma authority like when he shouts at Emily because she lied to him, and points his finger at her.
