Characters

The Main Protagonist- our central character is Lauren who i imagine as a young woman who has extremely good talent in fashion but she lacks a bit in confidence as she considers herself as an outsider of the fashion industry and thinks for the worst, but she has a feisty, impetuous and ambitious side to her . Her mum died of cancer which she relies on her Boyfriend Chris to support and help her out with her fashion productions. She has tried to make herself a success and worked for Vivienne her ex boss who she walked out of her job after a huge row. i describe lauren as dedicated young girl who is trying to pursue her dreams and career and securing herself with money. she is a caring, down to earth but can be  naive as she trusts everybody she meets which is sometimes why she gets stabbed in the back, at times Lauren is a girl who will stand her ground if needed and has a humorous side but never takes it to far but she is mainly a friendly,caring girl. These personality traits attract the listener to instantly to liking her.
In Terms of Appearance i see Lauren as a very short girl about 5ft,4inches who has fiery Red hair she stands out a bit which makes her different, i see her wearing clothes like floral dresses but looks sweet and innocent looking.
This is How i Imagine Lauren to look like 

This is  Ali Redcliffe from material Girl
We were influenced by many TV shows and films such as Material girl, Ugly Betty, and Devil Wears Prada  which have influenced what we want our characters to be like in material girl there is a girl called Ali RedCliffe who is an ambitious women who can be feisty but is very down to earth she influenced me a lot in terms of character ideas for Lauren's personality traits  especially name picking as we were trying to find a simple name but nice compared to Vivienne who has a really upper class, posh name to show the difference. even the show influence our drama in terms of sound effects etc bringing ideas to how we want our drama to be like also how to bring a younger target audience interested


Devil Wears Prada- Andy 

ugly betty

This is from the Devil Wears Prada and there is young women who is Andy trying to pursue her dreams in the fashion industry and in all of these shows and films all portray good vs evil. Andy plays a naive young woman comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city's biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly.which is another example of an evil boss and also they show boring simplistic names compared to the boss who's name is Miranda a posh upper class name. Another programme is Ugly Betty who is a very ordinary girl, plain jane type in the fashion industry. All of these characters have the same traits and characteristics which is the type of personality that people like and makes the viewer engage with the character also when bad things happen the viewer will engage and feel sorry for the character also people relate to the stories themselfs.

The second protagonist: Evil Vivienne
I imagine Vivienne as a old, mid forties woman whos fashion career is dying out. I see her as a women stuck in her ways, has a chip on a shoulder. Vivienne is a woman who think's she better than everyone, uptight, posh, more money than sense type of woman. She is very overprotective and ambitous although she does anything to make sure she is at the top and best although what she does is not always the best or cleverist thing to do. There is always a Good Vs Evil character especially in these type of films, These characters Portray Vivienne such as Cruella Deville who is an evil character trying to kill puppies for there spotty fur or Miranda from Devil Wears Prada who Miranda is the boss of Andy but she makes Andys life hard work so it shows good vs evil. Another portrayal of these type of Characters is from Material girl the Woman is Davina bailey who is the evil ex boss even in the image it portrays there relationship especially as there standing back to back, good vs evil.
