Codes and Conventions

Main icons used within the film opening:

• Calendar
• Track
• Sport Accessories
• The Track
• The swimming pool

Setting:


Our settings are in a few different places throughout. All of our settings are bright and positive, we tried to do this to portray a happy image throughout. However, the settings are slightly different for the two main characters. For example, the setting when Sophie's character is running outside it is quite misty and this portrays a cold image. However, when Renae's character is in the swimming pool training, this is a very bright image and this then shows the difference in the two characters.

Themes:

• The themes shown throughout our film is the poor vs rich in the two characters.
• The main theme in the film is sport.

Characters:

• Renae's character is known as Scarlett and her name is used in the gym scene.
• Sophie's character is known as Ruth, however her name is not mentioned throughout the film, this is to show that she isn't as important as Renae's character.

The two main characters are in separate scenes throughout the film as they do not know each other. When they are in the same scene the happy and positive mood seems to change from when they were separated.
