As a group we decided to go with a stereotypical representation of "nerd" by getting a Oriental Asian girl that's interested in manga, art, cos-play and a lot more. Establishing this with the nature of the library gives you a sense of what type of character this girl is. With the mis-en-scene I wanted her to be surrounded by tons of books to indicate her interests for studying. This refers back to the original concept. As for fashion we picked the black stripy jumper, a red dotted skirt, twin tails and a strawberry pin for her hair. This to refer to her geeky side.
I wanted my opening sequence to reflect the conventions used in the drama-style opening sequences. For example, the breaking of the fourth wall. It's actually a risky move to make because it can scare the audience that are strung by the typical conventions of Romance and Comedy films. However, I felt that I wanted the actress to connect with the audience so it's like you're there. As far as camera angles, movements and shots I used a variation of mid-shots, close ups, behind the shoulder and other shots that were in awkward positions. Though, most of the time it was mid-shots and close ups to give you the feeling of being there with the actress as if you're her friend.
The script establishes the representation of the actress really well. We have the geeky girl with her books and paint brushes whilst being quiet quirky and playful with the audience. At some points even making fun of herself to give the audience something to smile or laugh over. I really like the script it definitely matched with her characteristics.
The genre I have chosen is Romance and Comedy.
