1. Taken from the chapter titled “Lanas Family” the scene is where Brandon and John meet for the first time.

2. Candice establishes that John is sitting outside the house because he’s done something wrong, Brandon then creates a connection with him but making a joke about relating to his situation with Women. By making the false relation with John about women problems this mirrors the masculinity that john has onto Brandon.

3. here when John has sat down and all females have left the scene his position on the chair is very masculine, his body shape is big showing his role in the home.

4. Brandon allows a few seconds before also becoming seated, his position too is very masculine, he sits back and relaxes himself whilst John gets him a cigarette. As soon as he has lit up the cigarette

his body language changes again.

5. now that john is engaging in conversation with Brandon he pulls his body forward this shows his interest in the subject – Lana- and that whilst John is watching him he tries to appear more masculine.

6. Later on in the Chapter titled “Are you a girl?” the truth about Brandon’s identity soon begins to unravel. Brandon walks into the home where Lana and her family live and is greeted normally by John, when Lana and the rest of her family enter she acknowledges Brandon and completely ignores john. The audience are looking at this scene from the point of view of someone in the room.

7. When the conversation continues with John and Tom questioning Brandon, his face stays fixed in the direction of Lana but his eyes switch between the two men, this shows his interest towards Lana but his fear toward the two men exposing him.

8. As the conversation becomes more intense Brandon regularly has his eyes fixed on the floor, this type of body language already suggests he is being dishonest as he is unable to maintain eye contact.

9. The positioning of the camera makes the audience feel as if Lana would be, she is stood opposite him and can see how the two men are closing in on Brandon. This makes the

audience see how intimidating the two men are as it is made very clearly how much bigger they then Brandon as they are closer to the camera
