In the shop, the camera focuses on both of the wedding rings from the blonde woman and the old woman. Shows the difference between working class and lower class.

The old woman is constantly looking up at the shop assistant, with high shots, showing her lack of power and status.

The scruffy man and rich man are shown in a middle close up shot to show there environment, what they belong to and highlights their wealth.

In the beginning shot the music is calm and welcoming, until the old woman begins to speak the music stops to highlight that she has no authority and shouldn't be in the shop.

The music starts playing again when the shot is on the blonde woman, a close up shot showing the blonde woman with a mischievous smile as if she is planning something and highlights her dominance.

In the clip with the rich man in the suit and the man in the leather jacket there is no music, just talking. This emphasises their importance and high status.
