Character Profiles
We have decided that the our cast list will be made up of three male characters and four females.
Below is a character profile for each of the characters we plan to include:
Name: Cyndi Cher Harper
Age: 17
Occupation: College Student
Personality traits:
Although her full name is Cyndi Cher, she prefers to be called Cher. She lives at home with her dad, who is a recovering alcoholic as her mum left the family home after having an affair when Cher was a child, she has no contact with her mother and is the most rebellious of the group. She's laid back and does not care what other people think. She also gets on better with male characters than females. She is dominating and envied by the rest of her female peers. She is a user of recreational drugs and has a party orientated lifestyle.
Function in narrative:
Cher is the leader of the group, but unintentionally. She does however realise her influence and use it to her advantage. Her purpose is that she represents female characters in a more domineering role and highlights the change in modern society.
Name: Matt Jones
Age: 18
Occupation: Unemployed (College Drop-out)
Personality traits:
Nicknamed Jones, for obvious reasons. Matt is a ladies-man. A typical 'jack the lad' character. Who has dropped out of college and is currently unemployed. He lives at home with his parents, who are both property developers and although they are wealthy are never really around, but still fund Matt's lifestyle. Matt is an only child and lives in a large detached house. Where most of the groups parties are held. He is laid back and a real mischevious character. The most confident of the boys.
Function in narrative:
Matt is a perfect match for Cher, but is also a likeable charcacter that the viewers will be able to associate with.
Name: Lola Madison
Age: 17
Occupation: College Student (she works part-time as a waitress)
Personality traits: Lola is a subdued and coy character. She is also quite shy and is only accepted in the group because of her friendship with Sara who she has been friends with since she was a child. She lives at home with her mother, father and younger sister. She works part time for her father who owns a restaurant. The sensible character of the group. She does not take drugs and prefers not to drink, she can be however quite easily led by Sara.
Function in narrative: Sara represents peer pressure and how people can be easily led by their friends. She is the nervous and shy character that the group will try and make rebel.
Name: Sara Sanderson
Age: 17
Occupation: College Student- Studying hair and beauty (Works part-time in a beauty salon)
Personality traits: Sara is the bitchiest character of the group. She is high maintenance and enjoys causing trouble. Sara has a real problem with Cher and really just pretends to get along with her. She is two-faced and vain. She also is a very forward character and craves attention from the male characters of the group.
Function in narrative: Sara is the character that causes the most conflict within the group. She is usually the responsible for the tensions and any arguments. Her function in the narrative is to cause arguments and shake up the groups relationships.
Name: Chris Western
Age: 17
Occupation: College music student. (He works part-time at the local music store and is also in a college organised band)
Personality traits: Chris is the most alternative of the group in many senses. He dresses differently to the rest of the group, with him favouring band t-shirts and baggy jeans with over-sized jackets and converse. He is very music orientated and his 'never leave home without' item would certainly be his i-Pod. He lives at home with his mum, dad and younger brother. But is actually adopted, although he has no contact with his birth parents, who are both heroine addicts. Chris is in a band with some people at his college although none of these feature in the main cast list of the film. He plays lead guitar and is lead vocals. His association with the group is through Matt, who he considers to be like a brother despite their varying personalities. Chris is also very laid back, he is however more of an emotionally open character. He could also be described as a 'ladies-man' but is usually looking for more of a long term relationship.
Function in narrative: Chris's function in the narrative is to dilute Matt's character, he in a way plays the role of Matt's conscience and is the only person that Matt is comfortable enough to open up to. He is also an important character in his own right, he represents the current 'indie' scene sweeping Britain.
Name: Thomas Barlow
Age: 17
Occupation: College student
Personality traits: Lewis is the most plain character of the group. He lives at home with his mother, father and two twin sisters. 'Average' would be the best word to describe him. He has no real close relationship with any members of the group and is only really invited to events out of politeness. He basically just hangs around the group for reasons that no other member of the group can really explain. He is never really invited into conversations but always joins in anyway. He is more tolerated than liked. With nothing that extraordinary about him there is no real reason to like or dislike him. When we first meet him he hasn't really come out of his shell yet, but he could definitely be described as one to watch.
Function in narrative: Lewis represents the more typical college students. The ones that aren't the glamorous, hyped up exaggerations that most other teen dramas create. He is however the character that is set to shock the audience. He has not yet come into his own, but when he does he is set to cause ructions.
