Representation of age - Top Boy
-The older male seemed to have more power due to his height and the way he addresses the younger boy
-To some people, the younger boy could be seen as inferior, submissive and scared, but another interpretation of his actions could be passive and that he isn't phased by the situation
-The older male appears to be a mentor to the other kid, giving him advice motivating him to "make something" of himself. The dialogue that's only spoken by the older male sets up the situation in the scene
-Some may say that the older male drives the scene because of his age and dominance in conversation but another suggestion could be that the younger boy drives the scene because of his lack of communication and facial expressions
-For the first part of this scene, the camera is tracking the two characters, showing they're both of importance. The main shots in this clip are medium close-ups and there are wipe transitions
