Make-up and Hair styling

I considered the Make-up and Hairstyling for our main character, since she will be featured in this trailer a lot.

We have two options for her characteristics and personality traits that we will think would work well with the rest of the plot.

The 'Matured' Teen:

Cares about what she does

Good grades in school

Doesn't go overboard with her looks

Has a good reputation from her family and friends for babysitting

The Stereotypical 'Bad girl' Teen:

Very laid back

Doesn't do very well at school in this phase

Has her own unique style

Doesn't think things through

We paired the two together to compare, asking a few of our family and friends after reading them the plot this is what they said;

Hannah (16) 'I think someone with a bad reputation would be better as this would be unexpected for the audience, they would assume she isn't too bothered about the younger kids but in reality it hits her when she realises she can't find them.'

Lewis (19) 'If the girl is bad, most guys are gonna want to watch this. It gives someone character and I think if she is too 'Worried and always on her feet' The trailer could become a little boring if she is questioning and always taking things seriously.'

Louise (22) 'I personally like them to have good characteristics. If this is a thriller/horror wouldn't the victim/s be useless? like the heroine in a film.'

Taking these into consideration, we found that the 'Bad girl' rep was the most popular.

 

We have chosen soft waves and a natural looking face for this.

For this, we chose a straighter hairstyle and smoky eye makeup.
