•The lady and the cat in this short clip are the main focuses

cares very much about her cat as its fur looks very clean and

chair and the woman is standing up which seems as if she
cares and respects the cat a little more than herself. Finally
there is a ribbon attatched to the chair which makes the cat
look elegant.

common British accent.

shows he is most likely to be attending a special occasion as is unlikely to
dress like this all the time. From his body language brushing his hair,
making sure he looks perfect and his straight face (facial expression)
makes him appear to be quite nervous.
