Yasmin is pretty, long haired girl who wears designer clothes and jewellery, therefore she is seen as the 'popular' girl. With Yasmin wearing designer and fashioned clothes gives Yasmin every reason to go round thinking everyone loves her. With Yasmin wearing fashionable and expensive jewellery gives Yasmin the power and 'popularity' she wants. She wears make up and is always smiling as she has everything she needs, this is stereotypically of someone in this social group. The use of camera angle is a close up used, this connotes the importance of Yasmin as within the image shes in the central of it. Therefore, this connotes in the film that Yasmin is the center of everyone's lives, well tries to be anyway. The angle is a straight forward angle which is set right in front of her, this angle also makes her the center of attention which shows her personality of 'popular' and 'bitchy' character. Throughout film, Love Triangle, Yasmin is always the center of attention, to when it suggests she is in a relationship to Blake and to explain why her and Charlotte don't get on. This is stereotypical of the genre teenage angst, as the 'popular' and 'bitchy' girl is always center of attention within the film. Yasmin walks around in my film being center of attention this connotes that she is the popular girl and that she thinks everyone likes her. However, Yasmin is actually only with Blake for the popularity and doesn't really like him. Whereas, Blake is to blind to see it as he thinks being in a relationship with the most 'popular' girl is the best thing to do.
This is Regina George from the film Mean Girls. Regina is the popular girl in the film mean girls, she has her two best friends who are all known as the plastics in the film. Within my film 'Love Triangle' Yasmin has two best friends, Gemma and Lucy, which is similar to Mean Girls. Yasmin, Gemma and Lucy are known as the 'popular' and 'bitchy' group within the school, who think everyone likes them when actually they are just bullies and everyone is scared of them. Every girl, has pretty, long hair, designer clothes, jewellery and wear make up which is stereotypical for people in the 'popular group'. Therefore, Yasmin is played by Leah as she has the stereotypical long hair which is commonly known either blonde or brown, with the hair mostly being curly. Yasmin has the designer and fashionable clothes and jewellery which connotes she is the popular group. Yasmin having these characteristics, instantly suggests she is the 'popular' character as they are stereotypical.
This example is a close up which I used in my film with Yasmin, the angle is also straight in front of Regina, which connotes Regina is the center of attention. The mise-en-scene of jewellery and the designer clothes are also used within Mean Girls which is similar to our film Love Triangle. Regina also likes happy and pleased with herself, as in Mean Girls although she is seen as the 'popular' and 'bitchy' character everyone does look up to her. However, this is only because everyone is intimidated by her as she is a bully.
This is the popular guy in our film Love Triangle, he is called Blake. Blake has short, blonde hair, good looking, popular, sporty, ladies man, always smiling which is stereotypical for a popular guy in a film. With these characteristics alone indicate that Blake is the popular guy because he stereotypically has the correct characteristics. Blake has the fashionable style that all boys look up to and therefore is seen as a role model within the school. Blake's popularity is based on being in a relationship with Yasmin, he thinks this is the most important feature in his life to ensure popularity. However, Blake is a kind, caring, loving and respectable lad that he would be 'popular' and still have his friends even if he wasn't with Yasmin. Blake's best friend Joe, isn't a fan of Yasmin and does see her for her true colours, however he does things for her and is nice to her and he does believe that Blake likes her. However, Blake is the only one that knows he has feelings for her, but is only with her because he knows it looks good on him. Everyone knows who the popular guy is even if their not part of their social group. Blake is always smiling and happy because he is known within the 'popular' group and it hasn't always been that way, therefore being with Yasmin makes him happy because of being called part of the 'popular' group. However, throughout the film, Blake does reseal this isn't as important as he thought and he realised that it is not what he wanted. He realises, that he doesn't need to be in the popular group to be liked because if Joe was his real friend that wouldn't matter. Blake realises that he does has feelings for Charlotte and despite what anyone thinks he goes through with his feelings.
This is less popular girl, known as no body, Charlotte. Charlotte is quiet, overlooked, good in school, sinks into the background, keeps herself to herself and friends, good person and not recognised. Charlotte just interacts with her friend group and that it, she's invisible to everyone, she's a lovely girl who cares very much about her friends, this is stereotypical for a less popular girl.Charlotte wishes she was part of the 'popular' group which is stereotypical for a girl with less popularity. Charlotte likes the popular guy, Blake however he's with the 'popular' girl, which is similar in Teenage Angst films A Cinderella Story as well, when Austin is with the popular girl and the less popular girl 'Sam' likes him and in the end he realises he doesn't want to be with the popular girl and does like Sam.
Some good ideas here faye
