miss wigley

in the film kicks, in the first scene is of the girl laying down slowly stroking a picture, it is a close up of the girl as the camera pans down towards the picture that she is looking at. the lighting is a very dark pink and black colour, which makes the scene quite depressing from the start of the trailer. it then switches very quickly to her again walking, with a big building behind her where it seems that part of the building is moving, the camera is still and it is a long shot of the girl from a low angle as she walks towards the camera. the lighting is light as she is in daylight but the buildings around her are extremely dark, almost black which connotes evil and power, and this is still quite a depressing scene because of the dark lighting. the girl seems to be in her school uniform.
it then switches again quickly to a close up of her face, she is looking through a hole, to a man playing football, he is dressed in footballer clothes therefore informing us it is football, it is a medium shot the the man as we can see his face down to his chest, the lighting seems to be quite grey and muggy. text then appears on the screen with the word 'love' it is a red font on a black background, the red text connotes love or romance and the black background connotes maybe danger and power and also evil. the text decreases in size as it fades into the black background.
there is then a close up of the mans face where he is still playing football, but then switches back to the girls on a swing, it is a close up of her face, she seems to be swinging round which is the same as the footballer was doing, it then changes the scene to her feet, where she is wearing a bright yellow skirt, with bright pink shoes, these colours connote that she is happy and very girly.
the next scene is then both the man and the girl and the two scenes seem to be faded into each other showing the connection between them. the girl is then walking along slowly stroking the top of what seems to be the footballers car, she is wearing a shiny grey jacket, which is of similar colour to the car, the camera angle is straight forward but focuses on her hand on the top of the car. the lighting is grey and dark, this connotes a sinister feeling in the air and also that something bad may happen.
the next scene is at night where she is walking on a street, it is a close up of the girl where she quickly turns around, looking surprised and it then fades again into text which says 'obsession' in red with a black background, connoting again some sort of love with a sinister feeling about it. the text fades back into the background. there is then a loud smash and there is an extreme close up of the girls eye and then her face, the lighting is still dark but she is wearing an orange colour which connotes a feeling of fire, maybe a feeling towards the footballer as she is cutting a name into her wrist. the colour orange also can stimulate the appetite, therefore it seems she is stimulating her appetite for the man.
