Posh Totty Transformation

Posh Totty Transformation:
CHARACTER PROFILE
-This character profile is of a Posh, attractive teenager who uses her looks to get what she wants. 
This is what our character will be like, she will have the costume, the attitude and the looks will stay the same, and she will be in our first shot in our 2 minute film.
-She likes going out, Socializing with people, and using people to get what she wants, by her looks. Posh Totty however is a clever person, she knows things, but can act dumb when attractive men are around, she's smarter than she looks, and she uses this to her advantages.
-She has a Boyfriend, who drives her around all the time, whenever she wants something she can get.

PLANNING ON COSTUME, MAKE UP AND PROPS

For Planning what to wear for our film, we need to do planning on our characters and what our stereotypical clothing will be, and because its being filmed at our school, we will look at different costumes for it, starting off with school uniform, or like our chosen film to relate back to, St Trinians. This will allow us to choose or plan what we are wearing. due to us filming it as we are in sixth form, we will wear our own clothing, but the whole point of us planning this, is so we have a rough idea on what we are going to wear. 
So our Goal objective is to pick a picture, which looks and relates back to our chosen characters stereotypes. Starting of with the school uniform, due to our film being like St Trinians.

Target Audience Survey Interview Female: Shakira Rawlins 16 Years Old

For my target audience survey, I asked a 16 year old girl, Shakira Rawlins, asking her for her opinion on chick flicks, and what it takes to make a chick flick successful in her point of view. She replied: ''all  the successful chick flicks all have humor, and have to have one lovable character which you can relate to, i love chick flicks, and what makes them great is the story line, i would defiantly watch a new chick flick if the first 2 minutes was interesting enough to carry on watching, i have high standards.'' 
With this information, we have made sure that when we get to making the first 2 minutes of the film, that we have a good beginning and made sure that we got to have lovable characters, by having this, we need to create a new mind map on what we need to have in our story line to make it interesting for the viewers and create a window of story, so it can lead to suspense, so the audience will want more. 
And because she is the target range and gender for our audience, we know that her opinions counts, to help us achieve a good opening, and to make the film successful. 

Target audience survey interview Male: Liam Conlon 17 Years Old

For my target audience research I ask Liam Conlon, (http://asfoundationportfolioliamconlon.blogspot.com) To give his opinion on chick flicks, and what Genre he likes. we have decided to use Liam Conlon as one of our target audience because he is near the age range of our target audience for our film, and some male population may be interested in chick flicks, or comedy's which we are trying to achieve in our film. 
He Likes chick flicks such as mean Girls and the film Notebook. However he is more interested in comedies and thrillers such as Mission Impossible and The Hangover.
we asked if he would be willing to watch a chick flick if he saw it in the cinema, and he answered ''I would watch it if it has a good plot, so its not just for women and teenage girls, but can be suitable and fun to watch for a mans point of view''. With this information, we decided that in the first two minutes, even though its more pointed to the female genders we could put a comedic aspect towards it, gaining more of the public, both male and female genders.

Our Stereotypical Characters

Our Stereotypical characters for our Film.

GOTH: An Black haired, black clothed, stereo typically known for being depressing, sad, and listens to heavy metal music. The costume will probably be everything black, heavy make-up, however we are putting a twist to it, so instead of having all black, and all depressing, we will dress her up as the head of the GOTHS, meaning that she will stand out more than the others, so we will make her attractive, yet Gothic. However we will no take the stereotype straight out, we will still carry on the fact that she is represented as a goth. I will play the costume well, as i have black hair, and have been called an 'emo' on various of occasions, showing that i have the look right.

NERD: An Outcast, wears glasses, and is very smart, stereo typically known as the one who gets bullied alot, has a high IQ and dresses in tucked up clothing. We are going to have her costume being tucked up school shirt, skirt, knee high socks or ankle biter trousers, and glasses. Parys Gardener (http://asfoundationportfolioparysgardener1.blogspot.com) will be perfect for the role, as that she already wears glasses, and that she is a shy person, which allows her to play the role as accurate as possible. 

CHAV: An mouthy, loud, confident, Tracksuit wearing person, who isn't really known for there smarts, or for there fashion trends. We will dress Connor Murray (http://asfoundationportfolioconnorlmurray.blogspot.com) up in tracksuits, with loads of jewellery on, or the slang term 'Bling' with her hair up, maybe braided so she looks the part. she will also fit the part well because she is a confident young lady, making the CHAV stereotype accurate, and easy to play her part well.

POSH TOTTY: Definition of Posh totty: ''Male or female totty whose poshness is an essential part of the appeal e.g. well educated; mellifluous voice; charming classy manners; sophisticated conversation; expensive clothes; trendy address, etc.'' In other words, a woman, dressed sophisticated, Is smart, however in this case, she is also going to be slutty aswell, using her good looks, smartness, and poshness to her advantage. The character from st Trinian's , posh totty, has same similar looks as jade delaney , which can relate back to our character in our film. (http://asfoundationportfoliojadedelaney.blogspot.com/) 

Wild Child

Analysis of the Chick flick Wild Child.

After watching the movie trailer for, WildChild, we decided as a group, that we want to accomplish a 2 minute beginning of a chick flick. Wild Child is a film based on this stereotypical teenage american girl, getting up to no good, which then her father forces her to go to a boarding school in england. With the target audience for teenage girls aged between 13-18. However we would do it more like the chick flick film, St Trinians. We have decided to go with this because it will suit our group and resources. We feel that by doing a chick flick we can be successful at it because our group consists of 4 girls and we will be mainly based when filming at a secondary school. We have looked at St.Trinians as our inspiration on a film about 4 girls with completely different looks and personality that are rebellious and just fun characters to play, which will suit the target audiences. We would need to show this in the first 2 minutes of the film by using sound, editing, mise en scene. 

Group working

Today, My group, which includes Jade, Parys, Connor And myself, discussed what our 2 minute clip will include, what genre we are choosing to make, and most important what our characters are going to be like!
This is us working, and writing a mind map, and discussing as team, what film we are going to make.

We Then decided that our chosen genre of the film is chick flick, which involves four stereotypes, which is a perfect amount for our group. The stereotypes includes, Posh Totty, Goth, Nerd and Chav. we came up with this idea, due to the trailer of the film 'St Trinians'.
