Filmanalyse af 'Tisha'

What is your first impression of the location?It seems quite poor; it probably isn’t the nicest neighbourhood. It also looks quite grey and cold.

What is your first impression of the girl?She doesn’t seem like the happiest; she looks kind of sad; and the other girls don’t seem to like her, they laugh at her, so she might be an outcast or loner.

Do your first impressions affect your expectations of the film?I wasn’t expecting much, but I'm guessing it isn’t a happy film. It's probably about the society and social standards.

What impressions did you agree on?Most things, the location seems like a bad, poor neighbourhood; the girl seems sad and looks to be a loner.

Where do you disagree?We don’t really disagree anywhere; we just wrote the same things differently.

Has talking about the scene changed your opinion?Not really.
