Stereotypes and Depicting our Teenage Character

'Most common words used to describe young people in British newspapers in 2008 were yobs, thugs, sick, feral, hoodie, louts, evil, frightening and scum.'

The 'Chav' Phenomenon

Many people would say that there has been many developments in the terminology used to refer to the working class in society, and that these have become more negative and non-constructive recently because of some media objects. This 'chav' phenomenon has begun as we think of what the working class of the twentieth century was like (hard working) and we then look at our current 'underclass' as some may say, and these have become this character. 

Many would associate this 'chav' style as to a relevance to Vicky Pollard from the comedy sketch, Little Britain. This would include the stereotypical sportswear, and big gold jewellery. This comedic aspect to chavs in the UK is showing that there is more liability now in naming a person a 'chav'. The constant comedy of being a chav as well, such as Catherine Tate means that people are more aware and are now naming this style as this phenomenon, which many would say is increasing judgemental society. 

From a BBC interview with Kate Jarvis, who plays Mia in Fish Tank: 

Teens are often portrayed as a patronizing way on screen, especially 'working class' kids. But Fish Tank feels different. Were you wary at first though?

"I think all teenagers are different. This film was shot in Essex which everyone knows has got this bad reputation, but I really do think there are certain areas of Essex that are really nice. And, like everywhere, there might be some kids who act like the media are portraying them to be, but there are others who are completely different... All teenagers are different and they're not all bad, like hoodies just wanting to go out and make trouble..."

Rose Tyler from Doctor Who is a good character we want to use as influence as she is from a working class background. (click on her photo to see a YouTube video which we think depicts her character well). Although she is from a sci-fi television show, we think that she depicts and physically shows what we want our main character to be like. 

Kelly from Misfits is also a good example of what we want our character to be portrayed as. (click on photo for character profile).

Cast

We have thought hard about the cast we will use in our trailer. We want the actors and actresses to represent everyday people living everyday lives. 

Sedona Bourne will play the main female role. She has advanced experience in acting from starring in previous film openings and doing drama at GCSE. She is attractive but also has a delicate and vulnerable touch about her.






Duncan and Sophie will play the girl's family. Duncan being the father and Sophie the younger sister. Duncan will play the father well as he is a big man and therefore will appear quite intimidating and strict.


These are just some of the people we will use in our party scenes. Joe, Charlotte, Harry and Tilda are all in their late teens and they depict the stereotypical teenager perfectly.

Costume

Our trailer is based upon the life of a working class girl therefore the costume that we include has to be of an affordable. We are going use fairly basic items of clothing such as leggings, plimsolls and a cardigan. The clothes we use have to show that this person does not really know about fashion and doesn't care much for there appearance. Fish Tank can be used as an example of this as she is working class and her appearance is not her main priority. She wears hoodies, trackies; mostly clothes that are comfortable.

           

The girls in the party scenes will be in different attire, they will be dressed in a more provocative manner. The clothes would include mini skirts, hot pants, bandeau's  crop tops etc. This also provides a contrast between the main girl and the others who are at the party.

The boys that will be in the party scene will all be wearing fairly similar clothing to show how they all want to fit in with each other. The clothing is most likely to be jeans, hoodies, polos, sweatshirts, t-shirts etc.
