My Character's Customs

Monique’s fashion sense: 

When she’s in her house her fashion sense isn't as sophisticated, we see this  at the beginning of the Movie.

Tianna’s fashion sense:

But when she’s out on a special event she looks like this:

Ayo’s sense in fashion:

<< she dresses simple and casual

But when she’s going for a special occasion for example parties, clubbing etc, she’s different.

Dushane’s fashion sense: 

<<He dresses like this most of the time. 

Characterisation

Monique Amos, is 17 years of age she is soon to be 18. She is half Nigerian and half Togolese. She is in her last year of college; she was sent to boarding school, where she meet her close friends. She is a determined and hard working young adult. She strives to make sure everything she does comes out to the best it possibly can. Monique is really interested in:  Web chatting to her friends on: Skype or ooVoo, shopping, partying and studying. Monique is very straight forward, caring, trustworthy and understanding person and she gives her honest opinion about things when being asked about something, she dislikes: liars, cheats and wayward people. As well as having positive attributes, she also has some negative attributes such as: easily aggravated/angered, always wanting things done her way and being too honest. Monique’s parents both live in Nigeria but they come to England to visit her five times every year. She is the only child of her parents; this doesn’t mean she is spoilt! Monique is a very disciplined and respectful girl as we 

find out in the Movie.

Tianna Mensa is an 18 year old girl she is fully Ghanaian. She stayed in Ghana till she was 8 years old, then her parents decided to bring her to England so she can have a better life and Education. Tianna just recently finished in college and she is now looking forward to going to University. Tianna and Monique have been best of friends for eight years and they have become more like sisters, they do absolutely everything together. Tianna would do anything to make sure Monique is happy and safe; they both look out for each other. Tianna enjoys shopping, reading and having fun. She only lets people she trusts in her heart/life. She finds it hard to trust men, because she found out from her mother that her father waited till she got to England before he left her mother… this news made Tianna devastated but she had Monique to help her get back on her feet. She dislikes liars, rude people and cheats. 

Ayomide Adeleke is a 19 year old adult; she is Nigerian but has never been there in her whole life. She was born in England (London) and she schools in London. She is in her first year of university. She dislikes Chinese food and touch screen phones. She is very close to Tianna and Monique, and everywhere they go they are known as the “Three Amigos”. She, like her other friends enjoys Partying and having fun. Her friends call her “AY”.

Dushane is 19 years of age and soon to be 20, he is Monique’s older brother. He dropped out of University because he wanted to explore the world more, he wanted to have his own business and be his own boss. He now has his own mechanic business and he hopes with time it will grow bigger. He is a very calm and collected guy; he keeps himself to himself and loves his sister to bits, enjoys partying and having fun with his friends, his favourite dessert is double layered chocolate cake.

Finalised Film Idea.

 “The Unwanted Wish”

My movie is based on a teenager who is turning 18. One of her friends plans a surprise party for her  and everything is going well up until she makes her birthday wish. The wish goes terribly wrong.

This idea influenced me this why I decided to give the movie the title “The Unwanted Wish”.

The film starts with the girl on her computer having a webcam conversation with her friends on the morning of her birthday, it then moves on to the late afternoon when she walks into a room and all her friends are there. They've planned a surprise gathering for her.

Her best friend then brings her to the room where all her friends are then they  sing “Happy birthday”.  After the song, A friend in the crowd shouts to her telling her to make a wish. The birthday girl closes her eyes again to make a wish; this is where everything takes a turn for the worse. It flash-forwards to what happens to her after she makes the wish. Everything is pitch black and when she opens her eyes she is in a different location standing on top of a hill, and on top of that hill there is the view of almost all the buildings in London.in her hand she has a candle, She looks at the candle with confusion in her eyes.This is because she didn't have any cake for her birthday neither did she have any candles in her hand.The camera will then be placed in the main characters hands and she will put it up and it will just be her face and the view from the hill top that we can see.

Camera Shots

·       I will use a shoulder shot to show her talking to her friends on the computer, I will then tilt the camera to show her hand gestures.
An establish shot will also be used at the end to show the surrounding she is in when she opens her eyes after the wish (the hill top)


   I will zoom in on my main character’s face most of the time; this is to show her facial expression.

·         I will zoom in on my main character when she is closing her eyes to blow out the lights on her candles. I will also be zooming in on her eyes when she closes it to make a wish and when she opens it in a different location. Whilst she’s looking at the candle the camera will be zoomed in on the candle and her eyes, this is to present to the audience the emotions running through her.

Setting

·         My film is going to be set in four different locations, the first set will be the main character's  house that will be shown in the film will be my main character’s house and the second house will be when they go shopping, the third one will be in a small where where the surprise gathering will be, and finally the last set will be at the hill top

·         

Costumes:

·         The costumes will use in my film will be very modern and classy. 

·         In the morning as the main character is chatting via web cam, she will be comfortable clothing such as pyjamas or a tracksuit. But later on she will be dressed very vintage and classy.

These are examples of  the costumes my characters will be wearing for my film:

for the Girls something like this:
