Characters

As I progress my ideas more I have thought more into what actors and actresses I want to use in my film opening and what kind of characterisation I’m going to do. My main protagonist is shown at many stages of her life. My film will open with a young six year old girl talking about what it is she wants to do when she’s older, saying this that are tot6ally unlikely that most six year olds would due to their imagination. I want this character to be the age of six and I have got someone in mind, they will act innocent and naïve; this will then lead onto the protagonist at the age of ten, they will also be naive and say things such as she wants to be like someone such as a pop start, I will then stick to this idea of the character wanting to be like someone else, this will develop more when the next age which will be a teenage around the age of 15/15 says she wants to be a model with some of that naivety gone. Finally the protagonist that the film would be based on is a young woman around the age of 20, is make her look just like a model would with heavily made make up and fashionable clothes, yet when the makeup is removed she looks just like a normal person. This is the idea that women and girls feel this great pressure to look and act the way they feel they should, and also the ‘glamorous lifestyle’ is not how it’s always made out to be. If this film was to progress it would be about how this girl and her lifestyle, it could go two ways I could turn it into quite a dark film about all the damages its caused this woman or into a light hearted chick flick this is what I am still undecided on.
