Our final idea needs 2 main characters (the model and the writer) and a few extras ( the receptionist, and the man who drops of the Polaroid off). With conventions of stereotypical Rom-Com characters in mind we created an idea as to what we hope each would look like.
Model
People have a very fine stereotype as to what the perfect model should look like, and thus if it is possible we will try and use a actress with as many as these characteristics as possible. Tall, thin, long hair, strong facial features, pretty and a fun and bubbly attitude. (Most Rom-coms have the boy and the girl from different nationalities for instance in 'p.s I love you' there was an Irish man and an English woman.) So if it were possible we would like to use a model of a different nationality to the male writer.Writer
We sat down to discuss as a group what we imagined this writer to look like and we all came up with curly hair. We assume this is from watching films such as 'Love Actually'- in which the writer Colin Firth has curly hair. We imagined this guy to be lacking full confidence, as he spends the majority of his time writing- alone. We also see him as looking mature, with strong masculine features for instance maybe a bit of stubble etc.
Casting
From discussing how we imagined our characters, and from doing some recreations of exsisting characters, we have decided on our cast. We have chosen to cast Lia Lowe as our model, and Jamie Pywell as the writer. We chose this combination as they look like they 'fit' together. Also they both fit our imagined version almost perfectly. As they are not a part of our media group, it will allow us to concentrate fully on the filming.
