Fish Tank

Scene 1: Narrative

The first scene of the film, shows the main character Mia, in a room of a flat on a large Working Class estate. The low key lighting, creates a shadow and outline of her as she looks out of the large window into the distance. This shows the use of a narrative theory of Propp, who identifies the roles of characters within a film; however these may change. As she is looking out of a high window into the distance, it could signify the 'Young Princess' who is looking out of her tall tower waiting to be rescued. It makes the audience question what she may be wanting to get away from and what she may be waiting for in life. It also gives an insight into this characters life and where she lives could feel like a prison and that she is unable to escape from the harsh realities her life faces.
