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 jake as ethan. Jake is the typical teen meaning the relatable motif is conveyed. Jake is

extremely sporty meaning the character portayal of individuality is shown.

He also enjoys hanging out with his friends and is close to Susie in real life, which helps with their

chemistry in the opening. We’d associate Jake’s style with ethan, as it is casual, but stylish, reflecting the

archetypal teen boy quite well.

We’ve chosen Susie as our Susan, as she enjoys sport, hangs out with Jake

and Jess a lot and works hard at school, reflecting the inner ‘geek’,

that we wanted Susan to possess. Susie’s everyday costume would be conventional of what we’d have Susan wear, making her a good

choice for our casting.

Liv

Liv and josh are typical archetypal teenagers, which helps the relatability of the genre. They both love to hang out with Katie and

Lola.
