2. 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’.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 ).

6. 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.

7. 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 ).

8. 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 Romeo.
Although he 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.
