Sophia's Mis-en-scene

Sophia's Mis en scene
Sophia, the main protagonist in the exchange student, has to be made to look like a young 17 year old from Estonia. The actress we have chosen for this is Zindzi Mckinlay. Sophia appears to be a shy, timid, mysterious young woman which seems to have a lot bottled up inside of her however not neccisarily negative; this is what is portrayed at first however her true colours begin to unravell as camera angles and shots reveal this.
Sophia's dress is very significant to the role of an exchange student from Estonia. She is always wearing a semi-long black dress which is a crew neck and looks very traditional looking. We have put The rest of the characters, Khloe, Zara and Jenny in different fashionable clothing to highlight the significance of Sophia's abnormal outfit. 
The dress is important to the characteristics of sophia as its the main aspect which tells the audience she is different from the other teenagers.




Hairstyle and makeup.
Sophia's hairstyle and makeup is also significant; Her hairstyle idea was developed from Esther in the Orphan. Tight traditional curls in a short bob indicates she is a traditional non stylish teen which compares to the other teenagers she becomes friends with within the film. This automatically conveys there is a unknown freaky side to her.
