Parallel editing is used to show that the boy and girl are related and have a strong relationship. We can see through the parallel editing that they lead very different teenage lives, showing binary opposite characters. She is coming home; rebelling against house rules and he has been in his own bed. This conforms to Levi Strauss' idea that all narratives have opposites. The two narrative threads come together as she reaches the window and the cut aways show that she relies on him to cover up for her.
A sense of disequilibrium is shown as the protagonist awakes in his bed before the alarm in silence. This is shown by using a reverse zoom from a close up of the protagonists face revealing that he is lying awake in bed. also his positioning in between the male and female portrays the youth as sexually inexperienced. The montage of the workout, which used short action shots, shows that the protagonist is concious of his looks. This conforms the sterotype that teens are concious of their appearence. work out is shown in compressed time.
