jumper
We put liquid
eyeliner under eyes
to create dark
circles, which
connote that she is
a mess and is not
taking care of her
well being.
Her hair was a
lot more flat
and dead it
looked lifeless

herself .

plain black
light jumper.

wearing a blue
and yellow
school tie
thats part of
the uniform
Wearing a
inform
,which is one
way she can
fit in with her
peers as she
don’t have
other way to
look same
(shortage of
money )

something simple. which suggest she
can’t afford of buying clothes that are
fancy.

7. She represented by wearing
white top with no jacket so that
our audience can understand that
she is livening in poor condition.
We used the map (prop) to connotes
what she was thinking of doing
furthermore it creates an enigma for
the audience using a map .

8. Map &key (Props )
We used a bag
that looks old
and out of
fashion the
reason for our
choice of the bag
is that we wanted
to show how they
don’t have
enough money to
buy new things
that are in
fashion .
The key connotes of what she
is thinking .

We used a phone
(Nokia) as it is bad
quality and old fashion
which suggest that
Maira don’t keep up
with the new
technology as she have
problem at the house
and won’t be able to
pay for new things.
