The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the shoulder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.
The high and low angle shots have been used to portray the stereotypical view of the relationship between siblings that the sister relies on her brother. The high angle shot is used to show the protagonists younger sister and show that she is a child and is not mature enough to be going out all night, it also shows that she relies on her brother to help her out. The low angle shot is used to show that the protagonist has the power and the upper hand between the two characters and that he is the one in control of whether he helps her out or not.
