• Firstly, The establishing shot shows the man walking towards the bench. from this shot alone we can see a shopping trolley full of belongings, the woman sleeping on then bench and the man walking into the shot. We instantly assume they are homeless and poor.

• The woman says "good morning Mr Tucker" implying she knows him, and they are a couple. The smile on her face also shows they are happy
