Representation of young British women
Clip 1 - The representaion of women is very contrasting within the first scene. We see two different women within the first scene and it is obvious that they are from very different social class. This is obvious firstly through the camera. When we meet Tamsin we are shown her through a low angle shot, and when we see Mona we see her through a high angle shot. This makes us look up to Tamsin and down on Mona. It is also obvious through mise-en-scene. Tamsin owns a horse and Mona has a old Honda motorbike, that does not have an engine. You can also see it through the costumes. Tasmin is wearing respectable clothes where as Mona is wearing quite childish clothes. There is one thing that links the two characters together and this comes through sound. As we watch the film through it becomes apparent that them feel alone, this is represented through the sound as it is diagetic sound of the countryside which is often used to represent being alone. When we first see Tamsin the camera is upside down, this connotes that she maybe in a "different reality" and that there is something fictional about her.
Clip 3 - Within this scene the two girls seem to be represented fairly equaly.
