In my film opening there is 3 main roles involved into it, the main character (the troubled teen), the Main bully (who gets hit around the face with the hammer), and another character who is a friend of the main bully and helps him bully the main character during the school scene. there are several representations of the characters in my film throughout.
The first representation of the main character.
The first representation we get of the main character is that he is being followed/he is being chased or he is running away from something that he has done. the character has a troubled expression his face showing us they he may have a lot on his mind also the character looks very troubled so he may have done something wrong.
The clothes he is wearing is what a teenager would wear and is casual, a t-shirt with jeans which may make us think he is innocent and young which could make us feel sorry for the character and become attached to him.
the character when he was being bullied was shot at a high angle shot showing us that the character is weak and cant defend for himself and the bullies are positioned above the character showing power over the main character. So we feel that the character is sensitive and he doesn't like to be violent and he may not have a lot of friends as no-one is standing up for him because he may be different or smarter than everyone else in the school.
The second representation of the main character.
The second representation we get of the main character is that he can be violent because he has been building up all the anger from when he has been bullied and pushed around and has finally had enough of what the bullies were doing to him and his anger had taken over him and made him do things that are bad, and instantly after he hits the character across the face with the hammer we see that the main character knows he has done wrong from his expression and the way he looks around and doesn't realise what he has done so he runs away hoping no-one will know it was him.
The first representation of the main bully.
The first representation of the main bully is that he is powerful and we see this from the way he stands over the victim (the main character) and also the way that he has a friend which helps him to bully the people he doesn't like, we also notice that the bully is powerful and thinks he is in this scene in the way that he doesn't try to hide the face that he is bullying this character and he is just willingly doing it in the open so that people can see that he is powerful.
The second representation of the main bully
The second representation of the main bully is that he is now the victim and from the short expression we see on his face from when he is about to be hit by the hammer he is weak and it also shows the audience that the bully was only strong because he had friends to help him bully the main character in the first place.
