Analysis
The youths within the clip are represented as drug users and being involved in underage drinking within this clip. Minus the obvious (people drinking) this is also shows by using the speed the camera is moving at, the focus of the camera and editing to make the shots look bluury and distorted to give the impression of them being under the influence of something. This use of editing and  camera speed enhances the lack of control and want for freedom expressed stereotypically by teenagers in TV dramas and also later in the clip links it with how the lack of control is used negativeykl, expressing another stereotype of teenagers.

The clip also shows older people as looking down and disappointed in the actions of youths in the current time. This is shows when within the lcip it shows the men drinking the other side of the pub and the man behind the bar as when shows, they are all standing with there arms crossed and glaces towards the youths. This shows not only that the adults are stereotypically grumpy and disappointed with the change in behaviour of youths from there time to the current, but also a slight amount of fear towards them, as the men in the bar came across as not wanting to make full eyecontact with them (glacing out the corner of his eyes to maybe check where they were) and the man behind the bar is shown with his arms crossed, maybe protraying the fact he wants them to be scared of him and trying to have a lsight stand off with them..

Point
Youth is represented through diagenic sound

Evidence
The dialogue is colloquial

Explain
This conforms to a stereotypical view of the young teenagers, that they are rebellious in speaking there own language
