In our opening scene we only have 3 actors. We use two girls, Selina and Celina both are blonde. They are dressed smartly in school uniform, they also look young and innocent just like how you would percieve any normal teenager to look. Blondes are stereotyped for being attractive, dumb or stupid. In the sequence they are represented this way, as two attractive girls who look after themselves like in "Gossip Girls". A good film to show blonde stereotyping is Legally Blonde. In this film, Elle, the main character is trying to win back her ''true love''. Because he wants to be a lawyer, therefore going to Harvard, she thinks if she can prove to him that she is clever, he will take her back.
Social groups like that are more likely to be chosen to play in thriller or horror movies. Alfred Hitchcock used young, attractive,(blonde) female characters in his movies, e.g. Marion Crane (fictional character) from his masterpiece Psycho or Amber Heard in "All the boys love Mandy Lane" the same kind of character we tried to represent in our sequence.
