Representation is the way in which people, events and ideas are presented to the audience.
Characters-
Daisy-
Daisy is the main character presented in the opening sequence. She represents a teenage girl with amnesia, deliberately not a generic character representation. She is not presented to the audience as a typical girly girl character but she is portrayed as a troubled young girl dealing with the problems she has. To most people she will be an object of sympathy, they want to help her but can't physically do anything and neither can she.
Eliza Thomas & Naomi Waters-
These two characters are Daisy best friends. They have been friends for years and stay together through thick and thin and share many memories together. They represent Daisy's escape in life, they distract Daisy and the audience from other events in the film. They are both normal, healthy young girls to represent that Daisy is not in fact normal and healthy.
Places-
The main location in our opening sequence is a moving train. We are using the train to represent that everything around Daisy is still moving, her life is still going forward although she isn't remembering anything. Everything on the train is carrying on as normal to represent that everything around her is still normal.
The memories are in various locations, they all represent her past that is slowly fading from her memory as she tries to keep it alive
