There are going to be two main chracters in my piece, however we never hear them speak and we never see any of them as a whole. I want everything we see of them to be really fragmented, this mimics the fragmented social system we have, which is ultimatley stemmed from the media. Mass media is consumed within schools, mainly by teenagers. Media and Education is government run; this links nicely with my idea of using a little bit of Tony Blair's speech "Education Education Education".
Character One Brief Overview:
Female
17 Years Old
Blonde
Would be considered a typical teenage girl, cares about what she looks like, cares about what other people think. Take a lot of time over her appearance.
Character Two:
Male
18 Years Old
Blonde
Would be considered a "lad". Has a very big brovado. Takes on the typical alpha male role.
From the outside, if you looked at these characters without knowing anything about them you wouldnt think they have any worries at all, although each of them has a series of problems and worries.
One of the most effective ways of delving into a character is doing the ten RADA character questions; this is a drama technique to get to know a character that you're playing; however I want to understand these characters really well, so I can display them as well as possible.
