- Panning extreme close up of magazines initially deliberately foregrounded to create an impact when the audience therefore later in the film you feel empathy for the her.
- A low angle shot with both Ivy and Jack makes him seem more superior to Ivy as he is positioned in the background.
- The high angle shot of Ivy, almost birds eye view, makes her look quite sinister and you know something is going to happen.
- The worms eye view of the hair falling on the camera suggests that her dreams of the people in the magazines is disappearing.
- Shallow focus showing Ivy's dream on her bike emphasises her dreams.
Sound:
- Lack of dialogue throughout the short film
- The silent pauses between Ivy's response shows her vulnerability
- The sound of the piano playing creates sympathy when Ivy looks at her new hair. However this begins to have little hints of mischief into the music.
- When Ivy goes to steal the bike the music seems to be very loud and doesn't appear to fit the style.
Mise-en-scene:
- The positioning of Jack when he sits on the chair in the background suggests he is superior to her, which is heightened by the slight low angle shot.
- The choice of characters was quite signifcant to portray the correct sense about the person. Also due to Ivy's image sympathy was built by the audience towards her.
- There was a consitency in the short film where Ivy's was riding of her bike dreaming as it showed a similar red dress, making it quite effective.
- A clockwipe was used to show the change in time and how quickly her hair was gone.
- Leading up to Ivy's hair being cut the cuts were faster and therefore showed that something was going to happen but also showed that like the clockwipe her hair was quickly cut off.
- The effect when Ivy removed her glasses made the audience feel as though they were in her position and therefore built sympathy for the charaqcter once again.
