We eventually decided on Bethan for the 'popular' girl, her main feature being her blonde hair, she is also a slender young lady so the tight fitted girly clothes will fit and look spectacular on her, she has big blue eyes and straight white teeth, these are all typical traits a character like hers possesses, she has also had basic acting training appearing in local pantomime’s so being in front of a camera will not faze her.
We selected Jessica firstly because of her willingness to act this role. Jessica is also tall and very slim, we believe by the style of her clothing and the use of her body language we can make her seem like a lanky uncoordinated female. However we are posed with a problem in that Jessica possesses beautiful facial features and we need to make her look not so easy on the eye, we plan to do this by scraping her brown hair back and making it look messy. In addition to this we will not apply any make up to her face to make her look plain.
Also Bethan and Jess are some of mine and Victoria’s close friends and we feel comfortable letting them into our homes and we know they are reliable and will put all there effort into acting there roles to the best of there ability.

ReplyDeleteThe photo mood boards below are very helpful. Try and avoid a mono brow if at all possible as it may become a source of humour (or just look like someone's smudged a kit kit on her forehead), similarly with the glasses try and avoid Jay-Z style uber glasses as this could result in postmodern ironic chic;

perhaps dig out an old pair from your parents cupboards, then simply affix a sticking plaster or packing tape over the brim.
With regards make up and hair, a simply centre parting is the stock look in films, sensible shapeless clothes also help.

ReplyDeleteHaving viewed your film and listened to your own critiques of your work try watching the clip below. Although it features direct address and is of a boy you may be able to take inspiration from the lighting, framing and use of jump cuts

Similarly the music has the right frantic tempo. You'll need to score your own music and 80's electro synth pop might not be to your tasts but something quick is essential, a bit like this school based tune.

ReplyDeleteYou need to include the feedback from both your peers and Mr Ford and I. You then need to identify the targets we set you and those you set yourself.
Also include a to do list. In order to achieve a level 4 you must demonstrate high levels of organisation.
