The characters that are seen in our film trailer, are

generally the main characters in the film. There has been

use of unimportant characters in the trailer, but this was

simply to help move the trailer along smoothly, these

are known as vehicle characters.

When creating our trailer, my team and I had to try and

make the characters relatable to a working class

audience, at this point is when the stereotype of suggesting

all working class people are ‘chavs’ came into play with

our film.Despite the fact we did make our characters dress in

joggers and hoodies to connote the working class

area, we also had a scene at a party where the characters

got a chance to dress formal, I think by my team and I

doing this, it balances out that for the rest of the movie

the working class area will be seen as slightly ‘chavvy’.

The female characters in our film we’re not represented

as ‘chavvy’ as the females were the ones trying to break

up the fighting and to stop the madness, therefore it was

only right that we made the girls in the film look as

though they belonged to a higher class to show they were

above the fighting.

The males on the other hand wanted to continue with the

violence, this is why we had to make them look like ‘chavs’

as in our society today, ‘chavs’ are seen as destructive, so

by us sticking to the stereotypes it is easier for our

audience to see what class and social group we are

representing.

In our trailer Josh plays

Romeo who has found the

love of his life, but one

problem... She is in the

opposing gang, who’s brother is the

leader of.In the trailer Romeo is shown as a

‘chav’ for this we had to get Josh

out of his style of clothing and into

something he was not so

comfortable in.

By being able to change his costume

we were able to create a realistic

effect of the stereotype of the

working

class and how they are portrayed.

In our trailer Beth plays Juliet.

Juliet has fallen for Romeo in the

opposite gang and is also best

friends with Kenzie who is also in

the opposite gang. Her brother

Blake is constantly wanting to

fight Romeo, but Juliet has to try

and stop him without having letting

him find out about them two.

So where does it all go wrong for

Juliet when a gun is pulled to her

face?!

In the film Beth’s costume is

typically what she would wear

everyday anyway (well apart

from the party scenes, I doubt

she’d wear a dress everywhere ).

In our trailer Alex plays

Alex (creative I know ).

Alex is Romeo’s best friend,

and helps him try to be

with Juliet even though he

knows it is wrong.

As you can see, Alex’s style

of clothing is not usually

joggers and hoodies, so

with him willing to change

his costume, it was able to

give our film a real sense

of authenticity.

In our trailer Hannah plays

Kenzie, who is in Romeo’s gang but is

best friends with Juliet, who is

obviously in the opposite gang.

Kenzie is also seeing someone, but

the mystery around that makes us

wonder who that is, could it be

Blake?

In the film Hannah’s costume is

typically what she would wear

everyday anyway (well apart

from the party scenes, I doubt

she’d wear a dress everywhere ).

In our trailer Ryan

plays Blake, who is

Juliet’s brother, and is

the leader of their

gang. Despite Juliet

being worried about

Blake finding out she is

in love with RomeoHe has a secret to hide himself as he

has a mystery girl, is it Kenzie?

Again, as you can see Ryan also had

to change his costume to a make him

appear as a working class

character.
