- Shows the importance of social class in 1914
- Costumes, dialogue and props all show the class of characters.
- Camera angles show social statuses and situations
- Dialogue and facial expressions show that being a writer is not seen as an upper class man's job
- Doesn't curse-respectable
- fade up on expensive, gold-encrusted watch -suggests lateness/ time is against them. We see later the watch belongs to the king - doesn't expect or like to be kept waiting as he his of a higher class
- Close up of wheel, sound bridge, shows speed,and that the driver is in a hurry.
- Opportunities go to the wealthy
- Close up of watch - anxious
- Polished figure on car - wealth
- Fields - the wealthy have the freedom/space
- Facial expressions, close up, similarities to other characters
- Low angle of car, determination
- Parallel editing - two events at once
- Birds eye shot - costumes show no difference in class, suits and hair are similar, equal
- Hand held camera shot - encourages empathy to that character
- Unsteady camera - uncertainly
- Title 'My Boy Jack' in sky, the father has high hopes for his son
- Low angle - shows importance
