Editing - Secret Diary Of a Call Girl

An eye-line match allows the audience to witness the awkwardness between the three characters. The long take of the father searching around the bag in this scene also emphasises the awkwardness.
Action shot of the father carrying the son to the bed.
There is then a shot reverse shot when she locks the door this is to show the vunerability of the young man. Again awkwardness is created by small talk of how "nice" the dad seems.
The shots become slightly longer after the father leaves this also creates an uneasy, awkward feeling for the audience.
The next scene is outside following the father and his feelings, the scene shows this by having a mid shot of the father looking up at the house in which he has left his son and then showing said house.
Discontinuity is the used when the father is in the car waiting for his son. This creates a feeling of worry and anxiety for the father.
As this show is of adult content, perhaps the targeted audience were parents trying to get them to feel the awkwardness of the situation the father is in.
