Characters - Costumes - Porps

The characters that will appear in the opening of my film will be a teenage boy or girl, aged 17-18. There will also be two parents, a father and mother aged mid 40's. The contrast in Characters will be helped by the setting and colours, as the teenager will be wearing rough and dark clothes, while being surrounded by raw buildings, and the parents will be wearing classic patently clothes while surround by a well lit and colourful house.

Teenager:

I want the teenager to be a girl, though if this is not possible a boy will do fine. Him/her should have dark black or brown hair, with brown eyes and a rough edgy feel about them. This will add to all the darkness of the scene. 

He/she will wear a hoodie, with a dark jacket over the top and long baggy trousers. This will then represent a dodgy looking teenager, those which would mug someone or look like they would get onto some rough situations.

I was mainly influenced for the clothing once again by Kidulthood here, as shown by the picture below, which shows the kind of clothing I want to use.

Parents:

I want the parents to come across as being really open and stereotypical posh well raised parents. I want them to wear brighter clothes such as cardigans and jeans to stand out and contrast the darker colours of the grungy estate.

My inspiration for this is 'We're the Miller', where the mini van family are shown in their bright and pristine clothing. The parents are the two in the middle.
