CASTINGTARA AND CLAIRE

Jess suits this character very well, as Jess also enjoys going on social media and

her phone, checking messages and arranging times to meet up with people. Jess watches the same sort of shows that Katie watches, typical to the teen girl

convention and she is very talented at applying make-up every morning for

school.Jess enjoys meeting up with her friends,

whenever she has the chance and this will be reflected through the friendship scenes

in our opening, letting the audience into Katie’s world, but also the world of

Jess, as she is friends with the other actors.

Harry is a mirror image of Jack, because of his joker like qualities, making everyone

laugh. Like Jess, Harry is a fan of social media and video

games. Jack likes to hang out with Katie’s friends at the park

and we will show this in our opening.

We’ve decided to use Niamh as Lola. She fits the archetypal teen image-blonde hair ‘standard’ makeup and typical costume. Also, Niamh has features of the character in her personality anyway. For example, Niamh’s typically ‘feminine’ and friendship’s important to her too.

We’ve decided to use Ethan as Kyle. Ethan’s costume is

typical of the type of character that Kyle is. We’d associate

casual clothing like tracksuits with this deviant character. Kyle’s character is slightly more reserved, but

still conveys crucial themes like parent authority.

We’ve chosen Rosie as our Susan character. Rosie fits the

stereotypical ‘geek’ e.g. by wearing glasses. She’s also

extremely sporty so this helps with the authenticity of Susan’s

character. Rosie’s everyday costume would be

conventional of what we’d have Susan wear- making her a

good choice for our casting.

WE’VE ALSO CASTED LIV AND SUSIE AS CHARACTERS. LIV WILL HELP TO PORTRAY

THE CONVENTION OF TEEN CONVERSATION AND INTERACTIONS

AND SUSIE WILL RELAY THE IMPORTANCE OF FRIENDSHIP. BOTH OF THEM ARE

ARCHETYPAL TEENS E.G THEIR COSTUME OF JEANS AND A TOP.
