Representation

Our film 'on track' it contains different representations, all of which relate mainly to class and age. our main focus in the film are two young girls who are both aspiring athletes. both of the athletes have different personalities that are shown later through the film but in the opening  both characters are shown as hard working but have different classes, as shown through the types of shots taken and setting of the films. one character, Sophie is wearing old trainers and old muddy cloths. this is to portray sophist character as then that is less fortunate but has still got talent. our location for Sophie is seen as a rough area and quite out back compared to the other characters shots. her training scenes are not using any type of equipment or any fancy sets just the out door environment.

The other main character is a girl who shares the same hobby but with less talent and more training as she may seem to be the "cocky" one she has got well presented trainers and good use of equipment. This girl is dressed as if she is the next olympian as she will be wearing the full kit and will show confidence towards the other girl who is her competition. the reason why we decided to portray the character like this is that it will show emotion towards the other girl and it ill also bring out two sides of the audience depending on what girl they route on as it may be shown as the poor girl loses but has the most passion and bring out the emotion in the film or he wins and the rich girl is nicer by the end. it is up to the audience to take in all of the representations strategies that we have used to get the characters and the film across.
