editing

Parallel editing is used to show that the boy and girl are related and have a strong relationship. We can see through the parallel editing that they lead very different teenage lives, showing binary opposite characters. She is coming home; rebelling against house rules and he has been in his own bed. This conforms to Levi Strauss' idea that all narratives have opposites. The two narrative threads come together as she reaches the window and the cut aways show that she relies on him to cover up for her.

Match on action is used to show how the teenager reacts to the naked lady over the road. Throughout the sequence of him looking at her we see his happiness towards what she is doing by shot-reverse-shot. The protaganist is in ore of the lady which is typical of a teenager as it is often that a teenage boy would fantasise over an lady older than themselves. It is suggested that they share this moment regularly as he has an alarm to remind him to watch her and also through the eye line match we know that she is aware that he is watching. The cut away of the lady's bum shows that the boy is drawn to the aesthetically pleasing features of her and not a personal atraction with feelings. this conforms with stereotypes as teenagers are thought to be only interested in the sexual side of people who they are attracted to.
