Question 2

As we only had one main character in our film this will be the character that I will focus on, I have also chosen to focus on this character from the lovely bones; these two characters have many things in common for example they are both female which is normally stereotyped in films as the weaker gender, another similarity maybe that they have both been lead there by something e.g. in the picture of the girl with the yellow trousers she was lead there by a man who was a friend of the family and who she thought she could trust, whereas the girl from our film was lead there by seeing scraps of clothing and blood stained cloth, there are also some differences between the two e.g. the girl with the yellow trousers is very brightly coloured which could suggest that she is a happy character but bright colours may show that she could be too trusting, whereas the character from our film is in very dark colours with a bright white t-shirt, the t-shirt could show purity and vulnerability.

The character from the lovely bones is the victim in her film, the character in our film would probably be the victim as well this maybe because she has just come across a murder and then she see pictures of herself and is wondering if she’s next, the two characters look a similar age we chose to use someone of our age because we thought it would be me convincing for her to be out on her own than a younger child.

We also tried to show our character as a victim in the film by dressing her in white which can be seen as a colour of purity and innocence, the girl from the lovely bones is wearing very bright clothing, this could suggest that she is quite naive and childlike which could also suggest that she is too trusting which if you have watched the film you will know that she gets asked to follow a man and then he murders her.
