They way sound is used to represents disability
-Throughout most of the clip there is no sound. There is no ambient sound in the girl apartment which helps build up the awkwardness as we can hear the awkward silences between the characters.
-Their dialogue is soft and they use short sentences which they don't finish, this again highlights the awkwardness of the boys disability.
-When the girl locks the door the microphones pick up the locks clearly as this links in with the boy feeling nervous about being on his own as he needs his dads assistance.
-When the boys dad is in his van he turns on the radio (diegetic sound) but is doesn't represent his mood so he quickly turns it off. We also pick up clearly on the electric windows going up and down and him moving the chair again highlighting how awkward he feels about the situation.
-There then is a sound-bridge from the van back to the apartment with the first soundtrack of the clip.
-The soundtrack is a harmonica usually represents sorrow and it makes us feel pity for the boy because of the situation he is in.
Very good use of media terminology. I think you lack confidence in your writing which is why you take a semi-bullet point approach... It's hindering your progress.
