This scene features the main character of the film, Marty McFly, who has just travelled back in time from 1985 to 1955. In this scene Marty enters a cafe and coincidentally sits next to his father as a teenager. Marty doesn't realise his dad is sat there until the local bully, Biff enters the cafe. As Biff enters, the camera is framed at the doors with him and his gang as the subject. He calls out "McFly", which is Marty and his father's surname. Marty looks up in amazement, still not noticing that his father is sat next to him. He is looking up to emphasise Biff's height and the camera is also tilted slightly upwards, to display how the bully is seeing him slightly. As Biff walks over to his father Marty realises who is actually sat next to him. The camera shot turns to a close up but zooms in closer to his face to show a change in facial expression. His facial expression changes from amazed and slightly scared to realisation that his dad was picked on as a teen. As Biff walks over to George McFly, the camera follows him (Biff) to show authority and to say that Biff is the leader and that everyone is scared of him. The scene also features a lot of over the shoulder shots because of the amount of dialogue between all of the characters. Then Biff realises Marty McFly looking at his father in such a funny way, so his gang comments on his body warmer calling it a life preserver. The reason they call it a life preserver because it is set in 1955 and body warmers were not worn in that time. As the gang leaves the cafe, the camera zooms on Marty and George to make them the main focus. In the background, you can see the gang through a window jumping in a car and driving off. As this happens, Marty is staring at his father in disbelief as his father eats his food. This shot is called a two shot and it allows you to see the relationship between both characters. George McFly is casually sat there minding is own business and eating his food, while Marty McFly is on edge and very freaked out.
