Both characters are innocent young girls with a supernatural power/force. I felt like they had a lot of similarities between them.
Rosie wore quite colourful clothes to represent the childish side to her as the connotations of bright colours as quite fun and childish. June was wearing a white dress, this may be to contrast between the innocence of a young girl compared to what she is capable of. in both cases that was the main feature of bright clothing, to really eventuate the innocence of the two young girls. it give a more shocking and dramatic effect to their powers when the audience see them as venerable children. By giving June a teddy and sitting her on a swing ( in the image) it really drew out that fact that she was very young.
Appearance wise they were a little different however both stereotypical. Rosie was blonde with blue eyes ( a usual combination) and June was brunette with brown eyes ( again a usual combination). For me I find that Rosie looked younger as the brightness of her hair and eyes added a more youthfulness look about here were as June looked slightly older as she was darker. Both Characters had makeup on. Rosie was made to look slightly malnourished and a little paler. I gave her darker eyebrows and used a little white face paint, the two things done together made her completion paler. by adding a small amount of grey around her eyes and on her cheekbones made her look tired and thinner as if she was actually malnourished. June was also given darker eyes, her face wasn't paled as that was done by the dark hair and white dress and her cheek bones were not exaggerated I think this was to keep her face looking chubby to make her more innocent and very child like.
Both June and Rosie had main parts in the film, and it was based around them and what they could do. Junes abilities were used when she got angry or upset and she was able to kill a lot of people. Rosie's however were more complex. They were not seen in the opening to the film to keep it hidden from the audience.
In my film opening I thought a tree house would be a perfect location as they are associated with children and how children always dream of having one in their back garden, they are usually seen as a very happy and fun place but put in the right atmosphere they can actually be quite scary. similarly in June, the location of the image I have chosen was a fair type place with a play ground. Play ground's are specifically for children so in the same way having the action placed in such a fun place really gave the audience shocking turn around.
