Tuesday is the main female character who is 17 years old and recently found out she is pregnant. The director chose her for the role because she could connect well with being a teenage mother. She worked with the director to develop her character even though the script was improvised. Her costume included a purple hoodie, leather jacket, floral shirt, and converse to portray her as a confident yet feminine "chav". George is the main male character who stood out for his humorous personality that provides a twist on the stereotypical stern chav. His improvised script gave a natural feel. His plain costume of a hoodie, t-shirt, jeans, and converse is effective at portraying immaturity while

2. FEMALE CHARACTER
Tuesday- Is the main female character who has found out she is pregnant I have chosen to
cast her as I think she fits the role well as she is 17 years old this helps her fit in to
character as she can make a close connection with the character as she could imagine
what it would be like to be in that position. She is a good actress she took her role and
created her own character while discussing it with us which ended up working well seen
as we had to change our actors 2 days prior to filming as the others could not do it, the
script Tuesday used was improvised as we only gave her the background of what was
needed to say which was then adjusted between the two actors I believe this worked well
as it made it more realistic and is a common convention for the genre.
costume- the clothing she wore did fit in with the
stereotypical teenage 'chav' however it was not what we
had first discussed, she wore a hoodie which was necessary
as its very stereotypical and is the main item of clothing
which is stereotyped with chavs, the colour was purple
which worked well as it showed her feminine side, the hood
played a key part as it empathized the type of look she was
going for. The leather jacket is stereotyped of being ‘hard’
and with people with attitude so this helps build up her
character, the was wearing converse which are a very
popular brand showing that she has money, the floral shirt
works as its bold and stands out suggesting she is a
confident person to wear something like that. Overall I think
the character and costume work well together to create the
concept I want I also think it will relate well with the male
character, if I could improve my character then I would give
her bolder makeup to make her stand out more however I
am happy with the way the character worked out.

3. MALE CHARACTER
George- is the main male character, I chose him for this character as in the audition he stood out the
most as a ‘cheeky chap’ which I thought would give a good twist to the character as he is very humorous
which subverts the stereotypical chav as they are seen as all ways having a stern exterior however this
character has a twist and gets the point through that an individual is different to their stereotype. Again
he improvised on the script which worked out well as it made it sound more realistic and gave it a
natural feel. The emotion connected well with the storyline.
Costume-the costume I decided is plain but effective the
hoodie again is the key aspect of it showing immaturity
and Is stereotypical for teens it is modern and will
connect with the audience, a plain t-shirt is worn
underneath as the other parts of the costume are key.
The jeans worn are casual but make the character look
more innocent than wearing trackies as that is very
stereotypical, the shoes worn are again all star converse
which is a branded product which is popular with the
target audience. Overall I find this outfit effective even
though it is different to my mood board. I think this
works as good because stereotypes also change and I
believe the hoodie is the most important aspect of the
chav stereotypical costume.
