We wanted our audience to realise that we were trying show that women had nothing to do when their men were at war during WWI, since most of them were housewives just cleaning houses or looking after their kids. That’s why we used the split scene to show how dull their lives were and how they had almost impact on the war.

We had the male side, men fighting and dying for their country, and the women, which were doing chores and looking after their children.

When the men were fighting, the woman were cleaning the floor and looking after their children. Having them stand side by side showed the huge difference between whet they were doing and how what they were  doing was impacting or not.

If you have men , who were allowed to fight in the war, and the women, who weren’t allowed to and had to stay at home and take on chores, it just shows for itself in the seen.

The split scene was able to impact on the our scene even better because as one of the men fighting for the country died, one of the women who couldn’t was at home in our scene cleaning the floor and looking after a baby.
