Continuity editing - Transitions that represent disability- "Diary of a call girl" clip.

the beginning of the " diary of a call girl" scene there are a lot of eye match between the  boy and the woman showing a presentation of awkwardness because the boy seems nervous about the situation. furhtermore, it feels even more awkward when the boy says to his dad about the enevelope which this point it bulids up tenssion beacuse we all now know what he has cme here to do.

furthermore, we get a long take of his dad looking for the money, showing a representation that he feels worried and his son and full of anxiety. however the boy has this embarrassed face, which emphasis the awkwardness and nervous of handing the envelope over.   

in addition, we see a action match shot of the dad picking up his son from the chair and cuts into placing him onto the bed, to help create a fluid motion. which illustrates that he cares for his son and he is very worried about him.

furthermore, we see another eye match of her entering the bedroom and looking at the dad, this shows a representation of her felling awkward, she gives them the privacy of father and son time , which disability is being emphasized because it showing how the father is nervous about his son and has this anxiety. When the dad leaves we see a shot reverse shot of her trying to lock the door and looks at the boy then he looks back at her, a back and forth motion. this builds a representation of  him feeling vulnerable and worried. she understand him because she can feel his awkwardness of being locked in.

furthermore on the clip we see long takes of the woman offering the boy a drink and we see this awkwardness of silence, builds a representation of the boy feeling uncomfortable, gives this feeling of awkwardness.

meanwhile we see  the dad's a eye line match looking up the pent house, emphasis the his feeling angry and worried, a series of jump cuts showing some sort of fight, dis-continuity showing his uncomfortable. then we see a crosscutting from the dad to the building implying this is taken simultaneously both happening at the same time.

lastly the edit is privileging the master shot. establishing the relationship of the two characters, she is on top of him showing she is more comfortable, more controlled of the situation.
