At the start of our film the our intentions are to represent our main character Daisy as a ordinary trendy teenager.In many ways she is a stereotypical teenager who loves clothes, dreams about boys and hangs out with her best friend.
However she is an example of strength and determination that belies her years because she has decided not to be defeated by her illness and enjoy her remaining time by carrying our her bucket list. In this she is very similar to characters shown in films that has passed the Bechdel Test such as Disney's Frozen. For a film to pass the test it must contain a scene where two or more female characters have a conversation about anything decides men.
As her face is not revealed this puts more of an emphasis on the miss-en-scene. In this particular scene Daisy is wearing black tights,a short denim skirt and a white collard shirt. Also we have tired to encode her personality through her clothes.
The audience do not see Daisy and that she is ill until the end, this is the plot twist of our film and it creates a large amount of pathos.
An audience seeing our central character Daisy, wearing hospital gown and seated on a wheel chair with drips attached to her body would mean the audience would decode this as the girl being seriously ill. Our intensions were to encode messages about s illness. The intended reading of our representation is that the audience feels sympathy for her as they have decoded the messages in the way we have indented. For Stewart Hall, reception theory involves audiences coming to their own conclusions about meaning in text however I think this text will only make the audience feel sympathy.
