Tiffany is always seen as a

eyes, however what is she

3. In our film opening, there is a shot of hair
dye, as later on in the film Jen dies her hair
just to be like tiffany. Jens hair is very
scraggily, showing that she doesn’t make
much effort on her appearance, or really care Jen is the complete
about anything other than tiffany, and opposite to the very girly
wanting to be here character Tiffany. She
always seems very uptight

dysfunctional person. And learn a lot more about her, which
you would not expect.

4. Mental illness
Mental illness in our film opening Is shown through the character Jen. She isolates
herself, and all you see is her shut away in her room, which also reflects her illness as
it is very dark and dingy, which is not healthy. This is a hint to the audience about her
illness. Not only this but a shot in our titles shows a number of photos of Tiffany,
which we then find out that she aspires to be this girl, she dyes her hair, and follows
her wherever she goes. This shows dysfunction as you would not expect the typical
person to stalk other people.

5. Status
Jen
Jen is portrayed as a very low class and status girl, as she dresses in very basic
clothes which is all we really see her wearing so would assume that she only has
those clothes. Jen was also abused when she was younger, which could also mean
that her parents struggle financially, and therefore take it out on Jen.
Tiffany
Unlike Jen, tiffany dresses very upper class, always up to date with the latest
fashions. Status is a huge part of our film, as although tiffany seems like she has
the perfect life, turns out its all just a barrier to hide all the bad things going on in
her life.
