Framing is a key film technique used to represent Caye's power. In the date scene when Caye goes to the bathroom the camera is framed so that you see in her reflection on the mirror that she is being forced to give the man a blow-job which shows that her power which she initially had in the opening scene of the film is being taken away from her. The man pushes her down and the camera pans upwards so that you can only see her reflection in the mirror removing her from the shot and making it seem like she isn't really there giving the impression that she has no power in the situation as the man hold her down. The camera is hand-held which gives the impression that it is a documentary giving the impression of verisimilitude. There is a sense of reality in this scene especially with the location of the background and the use of the handheld camera as situations such as what is happening happen in real life in the same location. As Caye refuses to give the man he offers her more and more money which shows how little power she has as she eventually gives in to his request showing that she is controlled by money and money is her weakness. Whilst she is performing 'the act' the scene actually cuts to a close-up shot of her grabbing all of the money off of the counter showing that she is controlled by money giving her no power in this situation even though she did not want to perform the act.
