Developing the characters for this project has actually been surprisingly fun. In our film opening, there will be a total of 3 characters who are all teenage girls. Today's blog will focus on the development of each character and showing who they really are.
Protagonist/ Main Character: Sammy – acted by Bri
Antagonists: Sofia acted by Ana Sofia and Vicky acted by Veronica- the mean friends
Sammy:
The main character, Sammy, is depicted as a shy, introverted girl who doesn't talk much. She shuts people out and doesn't care too much for attention. Since her mom died when Sammy was young it's harder for her to relate to other girls and be like other girls. Her mom's death is suggested when Sammy is leaving her house and kisses a framed picture of her mom on a hospital bed and says "Goodbye, love you, Mom." When Sammy is at her house getting ready for the beach you see her in an outfit she would wear, baggy jeans and a hoodie, but she changes when she realizes she should wear clothes other girls would wear so she could fit in. There will also be a scene where she takes off her glasses and puts contacts in as she's getting ready. Also, Sammy has curly hair, unlike her friends with straight hair, that she has in a ponytail when she's at home but then takes her hair down when she sees her friends with their hair down. This shows Sammy changing who she is to be like other people and to fit in. It also illustrates the difference between her and most girls.
Sophia and Vicky:
Sophia and Vicky are depicted as bubbly, outgoing, sassy, popular girls. They are the classic blonde and brunette duo. Sophia and Vicky constantly talk about guys, the expensive things they own and tend to leave out Sammy since she's not like them. They can be mean at times as they are spoiled since their the typical "daddy's money" girls. Sophia and Vicky wear jean shorts and a tube top over their bikinis, typical teenage beach attire. They also wear colored clothing like pink, blue, purple, or yellow.
While all 3 of the characters have their own attributes, Sophia and Vickys are more similar to each other, but different from Sammy since she's the main character and she is not like them. That's also why Sammy's character is more developed, since she's the one our film opening is focused on.
