This shot is a medium shot of the two girls holding each others hands. The older girl is protecting her sister from the weird people who all seem to be wearing old clothes and looking scruffy whereas the girls are nicely dressed. It shows that possibly there Is a higher class from the girls.

This last shot is completely different to any of the other shots and shows a completely different era and place that the girls are in.
