Superior Position

The movie titled Mean Girls by director Mark Waters, is an excellent example of superior position because throughout the movie the main characters Cady Heron, Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and  Karen Smith, all do things the others don't expect, but the viewers do know what to expect. For example, Cady gave Regina a "nutrition bar" from Africa that was supposed to help her lose weight, but instead it made her gain weight. Cady had planned tis and the scene on which she was planning it was show, so thus us viewers knew before hand that Regina was going to gain weight instead of losing it. Another example would be that we knew Regina was going to blame the burn book her friends (the Plastics) and her had put together and blame it on Cady. Before that, Cady and Regina had serious drama that led up to Regina's explosion from Cady telling Aaron (Regina's ex boyfriend, later on real boyfriend) that Regina's been cheating on him, to the fat bars, leading to Regina writing her own name and reason on the burn book. We, the viewers, knew that Regina was going to blame it on Cady, but Cady didn't know, hence the superior position.

In my real life, I've been in positions that held me at a superior position. There have been some good superior positions, and some bad ones. The one's I care most for are the ones that are happy. Last year in October, my clique and I planned to surprise one of our friend for her birthday. We were all in on it except for her,and so we acted totally clueless when the subject of her birthday came up. You can tell she felt a little let down when we would say "Oh we're not doing anything." So on her birthday, we all pot locked at school and surprised her in one of our teacher's classrooms. She was so happy that she started crying, and in that moment I was joyous because to see someone you care about fell that kind of happiness is just wonderful. We knew what was going to happen next, but she didn't. This type of superior position isn't dramatic, but it's a blissful one.

A good way to put this into a movie is to capture the moment in which our friend cried because it'll set the mood of the short movie clip. To incorporate scenes where we are planning the surprise would help inform the audience what's going on in the clip and why we're being so sneaky about it around her. In the short film, we should also add music during the surprise scene to help enforce the mood felt by the our friend.
