A group discussion lead us to our first initial idea that our opening scene could start by using mise en scene of girls applying their makeup. The use of close up would show the intensity and that make up is an important aspect for their appearance, it creates a stereo typical and superficial image of teenage girls. From watching films like mean girls audiences in this age category already know that a typical beautiful teenage girl would generally have the higher status amongst pupils so by opening a film in this way, it would already inform the audience of the basic storyline preparing them for the coming drama.

These two images strongly the typical image of teenage girls. From these images we are able to collect inspiration for costume and props which we could possibly use in our opening sequence.
