Jess's Mum: 
- Go far? Go far to where? Jessie. We let you play all you wanted when you were young, huh?
- You've played enough.
Jess:

Jess's Mum:

I chose this film particularly as it showcases British Asian culture and stereotype females had to face within the south Asian culture. Filming the shots during night , I had to match the yellow scenery as if there was sunlight as the original was filmed during day time. Being both the characters Mum and Jess was hard to fit in one clip, therefore filming both in different shots and having a second person as the Dad help the difficulties of filming.
