Leaves convey a sense of change. This could be reflected in the girls mentality, in that she is changing. The leaves also symbolise growth and harmony. This juxtaposes the trailer, giving it a macabre twist. Green is also associated with safety, which contradicts the trailer in that clearly no one is safe. It also contradicts Mindy's stability because she is obviously unstable and leaves usually signify stability, as they are a stable part of life. Her image juxtaposes the background/foreground. Firstly, she is wearing a leopard print top, which could reflect her uniqueness, dangerous passion and predatory nature. It could suggest that she wants to be top of the social order, even though in the trailer it suggests that people do not notice her. The fact that she has red hair evokes images of danger, blood, power and determination, but also with love and desire. Dark red symbolises a longing, wrath and malice, which is clear by her murders in the trailer. Her expression is blank, almost expressionless, although there is still some emotion in her eyes. Her blue eyes could represent the depth into her mind and almost contradict her trust and faith in life. The brick wall represents a physical barrier, but could mean that she has mental barriers, preventing her from progressing. It could symbolise separation, possibly between her mind and the real world. The black rose in her mouth symbolises hatred, revenge and death. The way she is holding it could symbolise her passion for her revenge. The pink rose against the wall represents a prevention to love, friendship and admiration. The purple leaves on the tree signify power, extravagance and ambition. The character wants to feel power and her ambition is to gain this power but by carrying out the murders she is illustrating extravagant and irrational behaviour. The dark purple conveys sadness and can cause frustration.
