In the opening credits we will just be introducing the two main characters so the audience knows which characters are going to be the main ones in the film. We wanted the characters to be similar to typical sterotypes in romantic comidies but still having a unique edge to our film.
Main character in our film is called Zoey Hoilday (25) who is a journalist writting for a new magazine for a fashion column, she is a workoholic who loves her job and works hard to achieve the best work she can produce. She has never been lucky in love and when thinking she has found the right man they always turn out to be horrible, however she feels she never has time for a serious relationship due to her work. She is a hopless romantic and always wears her heart on her sleeve when thinking she has found the right man, always turning out to getting her heart broken.
Zoey Hoilday's bestfriend is called Donna May (27) she is an unemployed women who has a free, bubbly and loud personalitey, who is always wanting a good time. She says what she thinks and never afraid to put across her opinion, always helping her friends and picking them up when they are feeling down. Unlike Zoey she doesn't care about man, she is basically a man eater not worrying about settling down with a man.
Costumes
Zoey Hoilday- conservitive, smart, sensible.
Work Clothes- smart casual dress- skirt, blouse, tights, ballet pumps.
House Clothes- baggy top, joggers/pjs
clothes representing the type of person she is at work of being professional and hard working wanting to achieve the highest possible standard but when changing at home she takes off the strain and worry of being this perfect person and taking off the mask she puts on all day.
Donna May-slutty, boobs out, legs on show, eyes on her
scenes include her wearing short skirts, small tops- clothes bringing the attention to her representing she is up for a good time and always wanting to have a party. The attention seeking clothes and loud personalitey suggest to the audience who she is.
A lot to communicate in a short sequence. However, I think many romantic comedies feature similar "character setting" sequences. I am sure my wife watched "Confessions of a shopaholic" over Christmas, which seemed to have a similar vibe...?
