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'.
