Applying Representation to our Final Idea

Applying Representation to our Final Idea

Ethan's costume, hair and make-up will consist of predominantly dark colours such as black. This will create the representation that he perhaps a much darker and more mysterious character than at first may be thought.

Faith's costume, hair and make-up will all be either simplistic or colourful, to show she is similar to others, but has a happy impression within her. This will also create the representation of her perhaps not knowing of her appearance, but really, she feels unfazed by how she looks.

 

Though her costume, hair and make-up may not suggest it, Faith is an extremely introvert being. The facial expressions and body language she has will create this representation and define it within her persona.

Through use of a crab camera movement the representation of time is manipulated and gives the impression of Faith seeing no escape from her predicament. This is also assisted with the blocking, slit shots, close ups and shadowing.

The range of shots which will establish different settings is used to represent the manipulation of time, with time passing. It creates the representation that the pair have been spending a lot of time together and by using costume; hair; make up and setting changes this can be conveyed.

With Faith being blind the death of Ethan does not seem imminent. One could assume that Faith would be the one to die, just gathering from her disability. Ergo, her disability creates the representation that perhaps something with a negative impact will happen to her specifically.

Within the medium close up at low angle of the bullies attacking Faith, Ethan will be lurking in the background with a disgruntled facial expression and body language. This creates the representation that he is not one of the bullies and that he continuously feels out of place.

Many of the settings, props and decor used will generate the representation that the spectator can see more of things around Faith than she can herself, creating a sort of dramatic irony. Props such as the coffee cup and teddy bear will do this.
