Inspiration from real films

Characters: Hayley Stark (Ellen Paige).With the consideration of the age of the character, her representation connotes her vulnerability. This stereotype is challenged because she soon appears to be the more dominant role in the end.

The colour used in this scene was very sterile

Locations: Café scene

We thought this would be a good place to film because it would allow Rosie to be close enough to film Laura but also far enough for Laura not to see her.

We also thought it would be good as there is a lot of natural light and it is fairly empty in the early morning.

Page 19: Assignment 16 draft two planning

LocationsWe picked this road because pedestrians have to stop half way and this would mean that Rosie and Laura could stand close to each other.

We chose this as the location for Rosie’s desk as it is a bright room with a desk and it is quite big so we are able to move around.
