Similarites between Lucy and Effy
The main simirality they share is the emotional, secretive charactor displayed in any situation the two come across. The girls seem like they each have a split personality which could be looked at as being two faced, this could be due to a uncertainty that for some reason the girls are unstable due to previous experiences. The scene in our short opening where Lucy is revealing the knife, displays a sense of a dark nature hidden within a sweet image. This is similar to when Effy drops the vase in ‘Skins’. Each off them show that they are not taking into consideration anyone else’s feelings. The audiece might feel uncomfortable towards the charactors they each display, but also may feel sorry for them as they seem to be lonely and depressed.
Differences between Lucy and Effy
In our film Lucy seems alot more subtle in her own defence whereas Effy does in Skins seems alot more abrupt, we can see through Effy’s charactor that she doesnt care what other people may percieve her as, which again differs to Lucy’s charactor. Also Effy uses alot more dramatic body language and expressions such as violence and ignorance, this could be down to the fact that she is obviously depressed.
