How does the director make an impact on the audience through the character of girl?

 The Direct to camera address style of filming makes the audience feel involved and interested in the girls life as she's talking directly to the audience, drawing them in to her life. Towards the end it is like she's emotional when she speaks and talking to the audience like she's nervous and regretful of what she has done. When she dumps the baby into the river and talks to the audience we no longer feel sorry for the times when she's alone and isolated from people and the audience loses trust with her as she could of done this lots of times before and we didn't know about this.

Another way in which the director makes an impact on the audience is through the use of close up shots used when she's talking directly to the viewer. A shot-reverse shot is used when she and her dad is at the café talking to one another. At the end a crane shot is used when she's singing and we get a birds eye view of the river where the baby was dumped and her walking away. This impacts the audience as we get to take in the shocking news at the end by taking in the location of where it all happened and taking in the tragedy that occurred. The camera is very shaky and s she's walking it shakes a lot. This makes it feel even more realistic.
