Characters

After deep deliberation Victoria and I decided on using are friend Jessica Hutchingson to play the role of the ‘unpopular’ girl and Bethan Kench to play the ‘popular’ girl. There are various reasons why we selected these two individuals to play are leading ladies. A distinguishing feature we picked up on when watching a range of romantic comedies was that the female acting the ‘popular’ character always had blonde hair, this hair colour connotes a confident, fun loving, ditsy character. This is the persona we are trying to perceive thus are ‘popular’ girl must have blonde hair. We went around school trying to find suitable candidates for this character and took pictures so we could critically compare each of them and weigh up the pro’s and con’s of each individual. Here are some of the possibilities for both the popular and unpopular girl:






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.
