The use of mise en scene in the film is limited, drawing attention to dialogue and the words being spoken. Each of the three men wears a distinct colour top (red, orange, and blue), which not only adds visual interest but also makes them stand out from the dull background- contributing to the importance of their performance. These colours may also hint at emotions or personalities, such as anger or sadness, subtly reinforcing their roles in the conversation. Furthermore, the simplistic main setting outside a council estate contributes to the realistic urban setting whilst and lack of dramatic camera work keep the audience grounded in the moment, drawing attention to the dialogue, body language, and facial expressions, which are central to understanding the film’s commentary on gender, race, and culture. 

Representation is explored in a subtle but powerful way, surrounding themes of gender, race, and culture. The film shows three friends having a casual chat while waiting on a bench, and through their conversation, we get an insight into their views on culture, fashion, and relationships. While their opinions might seem bold or exaggerated at times, the film presents them in a realistic and relatable way, encouraging us to think about the different perspectives people bring to everyday topics. The humour helps to make the characters feel more human and approachable- creating an audience connection. Due to the film was written by a young woman an interesting angle is added, as it gives us a sense that the story is reflecting real-life experiences and conversations. By keeping the setting simple and focusing on dialogue, the film draws attention to how people express identity and how different views exist within the same community.
