The clip begins with the technical conventions of a tracking shot with a hand held camera movement to present the realistic POV to gain empathy from the audience of Mia's perspective which is a typical convention of the genre theme. The diegetic sound of the reggae music grows louder as Mia walks through the hallway of the council building approaching her house to create realism of the surroundings so the audience can feel within the text conforming to the typical genre of social realism.
As soon as Mia enters the house, her mother pushes her/ abuses her aggressively through gripping hold of her and smacking her head while verbally abusing her through foul language "No I won't fu*king let go" to which Mia responds parallel through aggression and cursing. When the other asks "What's wrong with you?", Mia responds with "You're what's wrong with me." presenting the conflict and tension in the relationship connotating that because of how the mother presents herself, unconciously teaching her daugther of her behaviour, this has influenced Mia resulting to her blaming her mother for what is wrong with her. This subverts from the representation of a the motherly figure which presents the convention of a broken home with a non-nuclear, dysfunctional family portraying the typical issue and difficulty the genre dwells within.
