  • WHAT WAS SUCCESSFUL ABOUT THIS MOMENT
  • Kirk constantly presents Wendy's role and the type of person she is.
  • The audience found it easy to interact and engage with her.
  • AUDIENCE COMMUNICATION
  • Sheader wanted to show the audience the contrast between a bright, well put together Wendy and the  worn out/disheveled soldiers
  • He also wanted to show that Lost Boys and the soldiers are that same, e.g. they both need a mother figure
