Alice who is usually quite will give her point of view from the family by answering the questions she is asked. This will show how she sees her family and also develop how she feels and how she expresses herself. The relationship with her sister will be explored as there is jealously as Emily is seen by the parents as the spotlight child.

I was impressed by your work here as the actor had been really well prepared to respond in role. You have discussed the part that she plays in the film thoroughly and this activity has certainly enable your actor to inhabit the role convincingly. You may be able to find a place for this or part of it on your film website, your film Twitter feed or film FB page. It is smoothly filmed and edited.
ReplyDeleteYou have also brought out the contrasts between Alice and Emily, showing the hidden tensions in the family. The cross-cutting between the two sisters exposes the pretences, 'faces' and unhappinesses. This is an extensive piece of character investigation.
