The concepts -

Symbolism

  • At the start we see the girl where the scarf, at the end we see the man wearing it whilst looking at her through the bookstore window.
  • This is symbolic of their relationship, and how he is still clinging too it all these years later.
  • The characters are lit from behind
  • The girl has warm bright lighting behind her
  • The man is framed by a cold ice blue
  • symbolising how different they both are.
  • also symbolises how they each feel about the relationship, warm orange representing happiness, cold blue representing his careless feelings.

  • gives context and backstory to what the character is dealing with.
  • we see the contrast of the two scenes, the scene with the man is dull colours and empty space.
  • wheras the birthday party scene is bright and warm with all of her friends close around her.
  • as the music stops we see the emotion on the characters face.

Short term enigma codes are:
  • throughout the show we see them break up and get back together multiple times.
  • we see them get with other people whilst they are still clearly longing for each other.
  • this keeps the viewer engaged as they are involved in their relationship and want to see what happens to them.
The biggest enigma code in normal people is: Will Marianne & Connell end up together?
