Activity 5 – an example of a Leitmotif used in another movie is in Disneys Encanto the line ‘we don’t talk about bruno’ is repeated throughout the movie to show the families negative thoughts about him.

activity 6 – in Sofia Coppola’s ‘the virgin suicides’ narration is used to tell the story from an outsiders perspective of the sisters, the narration never going into too much detail and reasoning about the girls lives and deaths creates a disconnect between the audience and the girls.
