Mise En Scene- How does this help represent the age in the Monarch of Then Glen

Above is the video clip I used if needed:

From watching the clip of the monarch of the glen the setting is a old english town situated in the country side showing a sense of quietness and no noise. The way the adults are dressed in the opening is , they are wearing workwear and they are caryying tools loading up the truck showing a sense of age representation. Then a girl (Amy) is introduced into the clip and she and another boy are wearing casual clothes an everyday teenager would wear showing the case of adults working and kids just being there for appearence. At this moment there is a awkwardness between the boy and girls eyes.

 As the clip goes on you can see Amys uncomfortability when she is given the keys to drive into town. She is very uneasy showing she really doesnt know how to drive and has a accident with the headteacher of her school which reveals her age and mental ability as she is 16 and trys defying the adults around her. she starts becoming immature as she shouts and stomps around the house. the father figure in the clip takes the teacher to a room where it looks as if only adults would go and they have a drink of brandy.

While this happens Amy is planning to get away and we see her room is full of pink and is decorated as a school girl would. there is magazines on the bed showing her age as they are very girly teen magazines which you wouldnt find a older girl reading. She leaves two notes on the bed with a teddy bear showing her age group as the writing is very designed and fancy.Her behaviour is very childish and this shows her very vivid imagination.
