Stage one:
Masked by religion, masked by her Mother - Jeanette lives her caged life going to church living her Mother's ideal and 'right' life. Innocent, blinded, completely dependent.
An image which represents this time in her life...
Location: church
Lighting: Natural but exposed
Model: Praying to God
Styling: Pink coat
Props: Orange(s), Bible
Makeup: Light, innocent and bare looking, freckles, perfect skin, blocked out eyebrows
Hair: 'Home cut' hair style but neat
Styling: Pink Two Piece Suit and white shirt
Important quotes for this stage:
"We stood on the hill and my mother said, 'This world is full of sin.' We stood on the hill and my mother said, 'You can change the world.'
"On Sunday the pastor told everyone how full of the spirit I was... I just sat there reading the Bible and thinking what a long book it was... Miss Jewsbury yelled so loud even I could hear it. 'This child's not full of the spirit. She's deaf!"
"And so it was on that particular day, sometime later, she followed a star until it came to settle above an orphanage, and in that place was a crib, and in that crib a child. A child with too much hair..."
This particular shot will capture the innocence and purity of the characters mind, with a sense of holiness and spiritually with the position of the lighting and model. Completely focused on her religion and the Lord, this image will project the very beginning of her changes throughout Oranges.

Stage Two:
Her eyes have been opened to love, friendship, a life outside religion by meeting Melanie, a Catholic girl. Becoming friends quickly, Jeanette takes her to her Church and they have a love affair.
Impressionable, open-minded, in love.
An image which represents and portrays her change...
Location: Churchyard
Model: With second model (Melanie) showing love and passion, strong poses
Styling: Bright, clean colours contrasting against the location scenery of red bricks and dirt, still a sense of innocence with Jeanette's character
Makeup: Darker contouring, shading around the eyes, freckles, flawless skin dab of colour on the lips, slight shading of brows
Location: Churchyard
Model: With second model (Melanie) showing love and passion, strong poses
Styling: Bright, clean colours contrasting against the location scenery of red bricks and dirt, still a sense of innocence with Jeanette's character
Makeup: Darker contouring, shading around the eyes, freckles, flawless skin dab of colour on the lips, slight shading of brows
Hair: Home cut, slightly more wild than previous shot, more texture
Important quotes for this stage:
"She had never heard of mixed feelings. There were friends and there were enemies."
"I love you almost as much as I love the Lord."
“I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side forever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me.”

This is where the changes within Jeanette's life become more apparent and will be shown through both of the models positioning, and styling. Jeanette's character will still look innocent but her posture will become more sexual representing her natural magnetism towards her true sexuality. the contrast with location and styling will seem slightly misplaced to symbolize the changes going on within the characters mind.
Stage 3:
Searching for her own identity without the pressure of religion, family, surroundings. Becoming educated and being able to lead her own life.
Clarity, independence, freedom.
An image that portrays this:
Location: Leaving/Outside the church grounds
Model: Strong pose, anger and sense of rebellion
Styling: Pale blue dress representing the colour of Saint Mary contradicting the situation
Makeup: Lighter contouring, full base, slightly blushed cheeks, beautifully highlighted and red lips
Hair: Grown out into a style, pinned back to see more of her face, curls falling to the front
Important quotes for this stage:
“She must find a boat and sail in it. No guarantee of shore. Only a conviction that what she wanted could exist, if she dared to find it.”
"People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities."
"Pillars hold things up, and salt keeps things clean, but it's a poor exchange for losing your self. People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time"
The final image, capturing in important part of the characters development where she has no choice but to become independent. This image will capture her strength, her confusion and her hurt after being abandoned by her own mother and the church. This is the final stage I wanted to capture as I feel this particular section of the book, before she returns to the church is the most prominent when thinking about character development and change.
