In my opening I attracted my audience by taking full advantage of mise-en-scene. I used the location to create a real sense of isolation. This would attract a particular sector of the teenage social group, outcasts as they often feel alone, forgotten and unwanted and would be a way of connecting them to the character. The costume attracts those who lack wealth due to her limited wardrobe change particularly shown in the opening as in between the narrative pause she is wearing the same costume. Lastly the costume would begins to address the social issue of prostitution of though it is not completely obvious, but the cuts and bruises are supposed to address the audience on this and the roughness of that kind of job. The fact that I worked with the social realist genre meant that I limited myself to the use of special effects as it adds to the sense of realism rather than making the film more unrealistic. Ultimately, I did this for the audience to believe in the story. This is untrue of some Hollywood films as they can often look fake due to the excessive amount of cgi and studio sets. I believe that this is actually one of the main advantages of Social Realist films.
