Similarities

The similarities between these two frames in terms of representation is that Leola from our opening scene has been represented as innocent as she she is shown as she enters into her new school, also Mia from 'if i stay' has been represented as naive as her facial expressions is shown through this. It also shows her as she is talking to them. The close up used in both these shots shows that the audience can relate and relate to go through the same experience as them. In our opening scene we have a voice over which complements what the female protagonist is doing and gives the audience an insight. The two female protagonists have been represented as young which would appeal to a more younger teenage audience as these are stereotypical convention of teenagers can relates to the experience school life and things which they will undergo, so making friends, going to lessons. The recognizable setting is also another similar feature as the setting will allow to show the audience to be familiar with the location in which the film has been set in. This would attract a young teenage audience because they would be able to relate to the scene and be able to reflect toward it to there own lives. The roles in which both female protagonist will play will be similar, as it they both romance films and will be expected to be shown with the male protagonist. In our opening we have shown an introduction of the male protagonist, who will then notice the female protagonist, and will start to create enigma codes for the audience about there relationship. The film 'if i stay' shows that both the male and female protagonists will meet in school, and will develop a relationship during the film. This adheres to the conventions to a romance film as the both male and female protagonist will meet and will show how they come together. This allows the audience to find out more about both these relationships and how they come together. 

Differences

The differences between these to characters is the costume of both these female protagonists, Mia from 'if i stay' is wearing a dark blue top with a burgundy red cardigan, this represent her personality and also gives the audience a sense of what she could be like, like as it shows that she seems innocent and relaxed as she is having a conversation. However our female protagonist costume is shown as Leola wearing a coat, in the medium shot shown in the frame. This shows the audience the female protagonist hidden personality, which they will have to watch the film in order to find out more about her and what she is like.
