Evaluation Activity 2

From our opening two minutes I've chosen Harriet's character to compare against other characters such as Carol-Anne from Poltergeist and Cole from The Sixth Sense, Harriet's character is like Carol-Anne from Poltergeist because Carol-Anne could converse with the ghosts/poltergeists and so can Harriet's character in our opening two minutes. These two characters I've chosen both have similarities as well as differences. The similarities between Carol-Anne and Harriet are that they are both young girls and so are susceptible to paranormal experiences.

Harriet's costume will be different from Carol-Anne's costume as they are in different time periods as Poltergeist was produced in 1982 clothing and fashion has most certainly changed since then but she will be in typical cutesy girlie clothing like most young girls.
Harriet's costume will not be like Cole's as he's a boy and as he's older the clothing will yet again be nothing similar.

The similarities with these young children that Harriet will have are that only she can see the ghost, at first like Cole she'll be petrified but after a while she gets befriended, good or bad is the problem however and of course her mother won't believe her when she tells her, her mother will just fob it off for a 'vivid imagination' but that of course is not the case, as then the similarities link to Carol-Anne as the ghosts can actually touch her as if they're human and can move things around the home.
