In this extract the main women seems to be sexually attracted to her female counterpart which is evident from the opening when there is use of a mid two shot showing the both of the women, however the main women is slightly behind looking at the second woman which shows her admiration for her female counterpart. The voice over also of the main women also shows how much she cares for her.
In the second scene we see both of the women lying in bed but the main character seems to want to touch her female counterpart in a sexual way, this enhanced by the use of slow non diegetic music, this also create sinister and mysterious atmosphere.
In the third scene the main character is talking to a male counterpart but she becomes distracted by the second women and all the background noise seems to stop and turn into slow music. Quick cuts are used to show that the main character is admiring the other female character, the male counterpart is also ignored which shows that the sexual tension only between the two female characters. After this we see the camera cuts to the red paint on the paint brush which may represent the danger of the main characters love for her counterpart.
The next cut shows that the man has realised what is going and mid shot of his face shows his realisation of the situation. This is followed by him violently grabbing the main character and pulling her away. We then find out that it is because the two of them are suppose to appear as though they are in love with each other. After the two characters argue, there is a mid side shot of them both and the male appears to try t kiss her which is shown by the fact that his face slowly moves closer to her, however the main character moves away which suggests that she is not comfortable in the situation, this also show that she is not sexually attracted to him.
Amira, You need to address all 4 micro-elements, particularly sound and miss-en-scene. You also need to remember to explain how the audience is positioned, and whether the representations are sympathetic and/or stereotypical.
