Character profile - Sarah

Sarah is the antagonist in the opening two minutes. We first see her getting out of bed much like Isabelle. Showing that they are binary opposites in character.

 In the beginning our idea was for the audience to see Sarah; when they first see her we want the audience to feel sorry for Sarah. A sense of narrative enigma about Sarah. We don't know her past, we see her on the outside of the clique. Compared to films such as mean girls; generally the girl on the outside is the protagonist. the girl clique is intimidating and tend to hurt the protagonist. However in Neighbours Sarah is the antagonist. We portray this by Sarah watching the girls. But there is confusion as too why, which becomes clear at the end. the audience are sure what Sarah's motives are until the end of the two minutes; where things begin to clear up.

 We wanted Sarah to come across as dark and mysterious in comparison to Isabelle. Her clothing was darker that Isabelle's and her bedroom was different. Helping the audience realise what the distinction is between the protagonist and the antagonist.
