Representation in our Preliminary Task

It was very important for us to portray our characters in the right way, otherwise we risked depriving the audience of a proper storyline as they would misunderstand the characters. We made sure that Amy had a vunerable appearance, in order to make her come across as a realistic vitcim. We had to ensure that Calum came across as a very dominant male stereotype, as he was the one causing Amy harm. Before we began filming, Calum and I practised his walk to the cupboard a few times, with me giving him directions as to how to act to help him get the gist of what Matt, Emma and I were aiming for in our Preliminary.
