TV Drama Sequence

Analysis
In this TV drama sequence we used Levi Strauss  theory binary opposites between 2 people, a good girl and a bad girl. We created this by the way acted towards each other in each of the scenes.

The bad girl which was played by Megan Brant, she changed the way she acted towards the good girl (Hannah Alley) by the way she looked towards her, her body language. For example in our first scene when Hannah walked past Megan  Megan looked her up and down. She was looking at her as if she was disgusted with what she saw. Her body language was slouched like she didn't want to be at school, chewing gum like she didn't care. This shot was panned across as Hannah walked past and then stilled with both characters in the shot so that you could see the difference.This was a good way to show the binary opposites in the first seen because you could clearly see the differences between the two characters. Megan didn't agree with anything that Hannah done, she would shout, throw things towards her. This presents attitude as no other person would do something to such extreme just because someone was trying to help them.

The good Girl was played by Hannah Alley, She was presented as a very innocent girl, always happy to help, her posture is very straight, shes not slouched at all and she always has books her in her hand. In the scene in the changing rooms Hannah was just trying to be helpful but obviously Megan doesn't agree. When The camera pans across to show that no one is in the room with Megan  this represents that she doesn't have many friends. Being genuine as she is Hannah has found her ball and is kind enough to come and find her to give it to her, but being binary opposites Megan doesn't appreciate this. After the panning the last part of the scene in presented in a long-shot to show full concentration on them and all the surroundings.
