CHARACTERS (Changed)

CHARACTERS

Main Character
Name: Jennie Jarnot


  

No particular body or even face type preference, although her brown eyes would be key for the extreme close up shots, but mainly a girl who indeed who has a convincing look of the average 15-17 year old girl. 
Although the results of our audience survey showed caucasian to be the most voted ethnicity for our characters, we think our chosen actress, Jennie above would still be suitable for the part, as she isnt english but yet this aspect stands as almost intriguing, in a sense that the audience could make their own assumptions as to her background, actual race etc.

Character: The Boyfriend

Name: Roland Emojevbe

The male character in our opening, we want to look around the same age of our main character 15-17, not too tall and medium build. We deliberatly chose him to be Black as we think this type of interracial relationship (Roland and Jennie) isn't typical at all but this is for the purpose of keeping the audience generally interested, subverting stereotypes and an impression that our film opening isn't predictable. We also feel that this young couple would suggest an urban feel.

Character: The Other Girlfriend (Changed from Lucy to Shahnaz)
Name: Shahnaz

The other female character featured in our opening is set to be the lesbian lover to our main character. Although only showed for a quick clip, we intend this character to be socially considered pretty in terms of appearance so, with that said we don't wish to play into bold stereotypes of a typical lesbian with the short/cropped hair etc but rather small touches that subtly reflect this sexuality. With this in mind, we decided to use our own group member Shahnaz as we feel she would be appropriate in portraying a convincing lesbian.
