Streatham Common

Park:
i have choose this park in particular for my main girl character as it shows she appreciates the finer things in life as she sits and relaxes in a peaceful surrounding.

thinking about the mise-en-scene of the park i thought that it would help to represent t

he sophistication of my main character as it shows that she has an interest in tranquility.

Common room:

- surrounded by girls that are listening to him t

alk about himself, but after a while he gets bored and starts to feel ‘lonely’ although surrounded by all theses girls, as he feels no-one understands him in this group.

Field

typical womaniser, not there to play football, but to steal the attention from those playing football. These shows a slight comical view as all the girls run to him, and abandon the football players to run to him.

Bungaloo

Library

Garret Green

Character Profiling

The pretty girl- this is the girl that has the guy’s attention, although she has beauty she seems to lack everything else. With no sense of direction for her life, her character becomes simple as she chooses not to challenge life, but take what she is given without questioning. Being a major fashionista, she knows what the trends are and acts as people expect her to, rather than thinking for herself, being a typical ‘life size Barbie,’ she is just there to look good, well that’s what she has made, for her purpose in life.

The guy- The male charac

ter is supposed to be shown as vain, knowing that he is good looking; he chooses to keep himself in the public eye, and surround himself by beautiful girls. Like the pretty girl, he uses his look

s and charms to get by in life, one thing they have in common is that they both live in an urban council estate. Stereotyped by adults because of the way he dress, he is not given the time of day, as society sees him as a danger. Being rejected so many times he chooses to apply to a college under a different name and lie about his identity and life, in order to fit in. caught between two colleges, two identities and even two worlds, he meets the ‘smart girl,’ who shows him a different take on life and what it means to work for what you want.

Success

the resukts i got from my focus group were outstanding.l not only were the conversations continuous and very enlightening, they showed that eaqch member of my focus group had contrasting ideas. just to show that sometimes if you make a random selection of people, it may be the best thing for you.

the focus group helped me expand on ideas that i already had, by giving their own insight on what they thought may be the outcome. they even gave me a list of artists that they found interesting, with a range of lyrics to follow. wth these lyrics they gave me their own interpetations of what they thought they ment and how they telated to the videos for them.

i am finally ready to start making my vidoe. the next step is my moving story board.l this should definetly be exciting.
