Age stereotype

Cultural norm- what society expects 

Youth- rebellion 
Adults- moral power 

Adults hate youth- they're jealous of freedom and no responsibility, their time of freedom has passed. Too scared to live the life they wanted society wasn't as accepting. Care free no stress they have a lot of responsibility, mid life crisis, walking out on families - second age of youth 

Why are adults in love with youth- energetic, less informed so makes then feel smarter from more life experiences. Want to be younger and more beautiful 

Tv drama made by adults so reflects their views

Sexuality


Mise en scene and sound 
The Mise en Scene shows that they are both feminine and gentle. This is because The costumes are silken and one women has a shorter dress. This would portray the stereotype of the relationship between the two women as sympathetic but it may also show the relationship as sexualised when one woman hovers her hand over the other.

The prop shows red paint. this could show portray lust or love because red is associated with these themes.

Camera angles
Composition shows power 
Shots of her breasts shows she's the main focus of the shot
