Ash is a 16 year old female, who suffers depression and has a best friend called Darcy. She isn't classed as 'popular' but isn't 'Un-popular' either. She gets bullied by a girl called Helen, she hates everyone with the exception of Darcy.
What is she wearing?
Ash will be wearing a flannel top, with a band tee underneath, this will show off her alternative side. This will be paired with a black beanie and black ripped skinny jeans, along with black converse.
who can she relate to in the teen angst genre from our research?
I think Ash can relate to the character of Janis from 'Mean Girls' as she isn't the most popular girl in school, she is seen as a weirdo by a lot of people and also her style would be similar to the character of Janis with the dark, or black clothing, the ripped jeans and the dark coloured hair. They're both unique characters, and stand out quite a lot from the stereotypical teenage girl, with long blonde or brown natural hair, with a face caked in makeup and colourful fashionable clothes.
Darcy:
Who is Darcy?
Darcy is Ash's best friend. She too is a 16 year old female, Darcy is the complete opposite to Ash, and one way this is represented is through their clothes. Ash will be wearing dark colours and Darcy will be wearing whites and light colours. Darcy is almost the innocence to Ash's pain and visa versa, and that's why they work so well together.
What is she wearing?
Darcy will be wearing a light coloured top in order to connote innocence, with light washed jeans and white converse, its very casual and simple but pretty at the same time.
Which character does she relate to in the teen angst genre form our research?
Darcy would relate to the character of Jazz from 'Angus, thongs and perfect snogging' in the sense that she is the bright happy best friend character, who helps her friend in this case Ash out of the crisis which is her depression, just like Jazz does with helping Georgia get Robbie, and making her birthday party a success. Darcy is seen as the cheerful one of the duo and is always by Ash's side, loyal to the end, which we think reflects Jazz's character overall even though Jazz and Georgia do have a falling out, its resolved in the end and its as if nothing has happened.
Helen:
Who is Helen?Helen is classed as the 'mean girl' in our film. She is a 17 year old female, and popular. She is a stereotypical teenage girl, with the long blonde hair, being British and skinny, along with being pretty.
What is she wearing?
She is a stereotypical popular teenage girl, so she could possibly be wearing a lot of pink, and stereotypical female colours. It is more likely what she wears will be rather revealing, and show off her features the best that she can, in order to attract boys attention, and keep her status in college.
What stereotypical character does she relate to in our teen angst research?
Helen reflects the character of Regina George in the teen angst 'Mean Girls' as she is the popular girl in school and is noted as the 'Queen Bitch' in our teen angst opening sequence. The only real difference being that Helen in our teen angst isn't seen with a group like the 'Plastics' in 'Mean Girls' Helen is a stand alone character, which I do think is rather countertypical of the convention of the Mean girls in the genre of teen angst, although I think the fact that its countertypical really captures what our teen angst film is about, and within our teen angst film we do turn a lot of the stereotypes and conventions on their head.
