MISE EN SCENE
- lighting effective in the opening shot - opening with sun suggesting happy atmosphere
- high angle used for George - showing he does not have the power/ he is inferior
- set in a classroom suggests the idea of 'puppy love' - school relationships - childish/ fickle
- 'living your dream' posters in the background of two shot - George is trying to live his dream - relates to theme
- toilet paper on foot adds to immaturity - childish sense of humour
- sun not in the last shot - happiness/ hope has been lost for George
EDITING
- quick cuts between bathroom scenes - builds anticipation - makes the audience want to meet the character
- black and white/ reference to old fashioned love 'talkies'
- black fade into Amber's point of view shot - almost as if she had blinked
- dissolve from Georges 'sad' face into corridor - he is taking his unhappiness with him
CAMERA ANGLES
- establishing shot of sun rising/ light still in his life (happy) - leads audience into story 9school - un-serious relationships/ childish)
- point of view shot of George to Amber - low angle - suggesting he idolises/ worships her
- close up of George awaiting Ambers reaction/ gives the impression that he is in her face/ pressuring her/ eager
- long shot of George in the final shot - suggest isolation at the end of the corridor - he is alone
SOUND
- non-diegetic music 'One Direction' reflects character of George and the mood of the piece
- music/ instrumental relates to age range - highlighting teenage love
- silence of Amber's reaction - suggests that she is not as happy as George is feeling/ disappointed
- diegetic sound of Amber's foot steps at the end - highlights the idea that she does not care/ walking away from him
