NARRATIVE:

CHARACTERS:

As i am showing the characters in a love triangle binary opposites have to be introduced to signify why there is conflict. i am conveying the 2 female characters as being total opposites but before the guy came along becoming very good friends. this being something unusual in itself provides insight into their lives as to why they got on before and things they had in common. i have created the male character to be more likely to fit with hannah although it is olivias crush - we also learn from the film that she does like him just not as much as olivia and is just doing it out of spite and to show she could get him. 

COSTUMES:

Hannah who is perceived as the protagonist will be wearing slightly more fashionable clothing consisting of shorter slightly more revealing clothing signifying therefore that she is the prettier one and 'in' with the popular kids - her hair will be curled and will look almost perfect - her make up will be bold and will stand out.

her room will be messy and full of doodles with pictures around the room.

Olivia who is perceived as the antagonist will be modest clothing wearing girly pink colours preferably a floral dress with a cardigan over the top creating the stereotypical nerd glasses maybe added for extra emphasis but for me personally i dont see it as a necessity. she will be stereotypically be brunette her hair will be completed with clips or a headband or be tied back and make up will be very natural and minimalistic.

her room will be littered with science groups and textbooks to reinforce the 'nerd' factor this creates a binary opposite between the 2 female characters.

For the guy who is not named as i haven't searched for interest will be wearing fashionable clothing, will like sport and this will be shown through muscle if possible.. if not a reference can be exchanged.

 PROPS:

• scrapbook - titles - this is the beginning of the end of the film

• table - the scrapbook will be placed on here - homely - security - safe

• phone - will be used for messaging between the characters - maybe showing bitchy comments or remarks or maybe messages from the boyfriend to either one in the love triangle 

• messy room - stereotypical teenage - creating relatability 

• flashbacks  - this is then shown as a relection on the character creating tension and conveying different emotions
