2. Our film could follow the stereotype due to the fact
that our main character is a girl and she is mentally
ill, girls/women usually take on the role of someone
with mental issues more often than men.
For example, Angelina Jolie
who play Lisa in girl interrupted,
a mental patient.
3. However, The things we used within our play, eg.
The idea of a cute bunny, girly dancing , ribbons and
teddies wouldn’t have worked if our mentally ill
character was a boy, sometimes it depends on your
film idea and intensions as to whether your
character is male or female, following the
stereotype can be accidental.

5. Half way through our scene the colour changes due to
a flashback and it goes grey-scale. We used this to
represent the girl having a flashback but we also used
it to represent Alice. As a mental patient her life is
very bland and discoloured due to the dis-function of
her mind, she doesn’t see the world the same way as
we do, we don’t see the world in black and white, the
world is harmless to sane people but harmful to the
insane, the use of colour is a great way to show this
comparison.
7. Sound had a big part in our film and probably played
the most significant part. Again during the scene
change from reality to flashback, a music box clip is
played through out the whole of that scene, giving it
the certain eerie effect that make the audience think
that something is obviously not quite right, the sound
clip that we used was almost too innocent that it
became creepy and strange and it really did well in
representing what goes on inside Alice’s mind.
