Belle opens the door and wee see a eyeline match straight away as she greets Blake, and his father. In the first 28 seconds there is a series of transitions that take place including continuity editing which would not be recognized unless you know what it is. There is a lot of shot reverse shot as it goes back and forward from Belle to Blake and his dad. At this moment a big tension is built as it is awkward for belle to look at so it is made so she is looking at both. This makes it harder for us to realize that there is a tension between them but we tell from the way they are speaking and the atmosphere that is built.

When Belle leaves the room there is another cut and then two match on action shots where Blake's dad picks him up from the wheelchair and them lays him on the bed. this helps blend the cut in between of him walking to the bed from the wheelchair. There is another transition when Belle enters the room but stays out the way in the corner while she watches the father and son. Blake's dad soon leaves and when he does Belle starts to lock the door and we see Blake look at the door then a eye line match comes in as she realizes that he feels very nervous so she unlocks it. Another set of match on action cuts come into place as she offers a drink and then she is on the bed with the drinks.

A cross cut comes in when we see Blake's dad arriving at the van, he then looks up and we get a eye line match of him looking at what we think is the apartment where the two are. Then there is a set of jump cuts from him turning on/off the radio, closing opening the window, moving his chair back and forward and pressing the horn. This is to show he is uneasy about what is happening in the apartment.

We get another cross cut and now the couple are more intimate and we see slow transitions and another match on action applies when Belle asks Blake should she take off his t-shirt to make him feel comfortable and he sits up and then the camera is at a high angle shot taking the action.
