Being Human. Start – 5:47

The ghost:
From the very beginning she comes across as slightly slow as she asks to start again.
She seems to dominate by it being her that does the voice overs.
She seems very frustrated that she cannot be seen by people.
It seems that she is very family orientated as she seems to be happy that she could still be surrounded by them.
She is represented as an angry person by her sticking her finger up at the people viewing the house even though they cannot see her
By her saying all of the things she wants, it implies that she is a needy person.
Shes represented as fairly intelligent by the things that she is saying in the voice over.
The titles have a very happy toned music underneath it. This implies that she is happy she has found people that she can relate to.
She is represented after the titles as a very excitable person maybe even child-like as she just says things without thinking.
The woman just wants to be normal. This is suggested by the fact that she was happy that a van driver drove past and shouted ‘slag’
She talks a lot in a high pitch tone and very fast which is like that of a child.

The vampire.
When the audience are first introduced to him, he seems strong and brave as hes fighting in some sort of war
He doesn’t seem to afraid of much
When he has been bitten he seems scared and it is suggested by this that he doesn’t really know what is going on.
It is implied that he doesn’t like having to bite people. This is made obvious when he bits the girl he has sex with and then starts to hit himself.
When he doesn’t have the need to bite people he seems quite relaxed and normal. And just gets on with it.

The werewolf:
When the audience is first introduced to him, he seems like a bit of an oddball. Like the one that doesn’t fit in anywhere.
He is much like the vampire in the sense that when he isn’t a werewolf he just gets on with life and seems quite relaxed.
At the end of the sequence he is represented as maybe the head of the group as he starts to have a go at the ghost when she offers to make tea.
He comes across as very agitated.
His face at the end of the sequence implies that the ghost annoys him. And like he doesn’t really want her there.
