The characters in my film are portrayed as very stereo-typical teenagers. This stereo-type is that teenagers are always up to no good and getting into trouble, this could also be seen as very intimidating and may even lead to them being seen as criminals. We created this in our film by giving our characters very boystrous 'nothing can hurt me' demeanor and dressing them in hoodies and flat peak caps. Luckily one of our actors (Brook) has these assests normally so he is very easy to work with on set as he can imagine it as a real life situation. As well as the hoodies and caps, we also chose to dress the characters in baggy jeans and addidas shoes, this apparel mixed with the clothing stated earlier really enhances the stereo-typical look of a teenager.
The body language of our characters is very 'rough and tough', they walk with 'swagger' as if they run the town but always have a slight look of paranoier. This look of paranoier adds too the effect of the stereo-typical teenager as it makes them look shifty and always on edge, if somebody walked past they wouldn't know what the character might do next.
In the film we are going to overlay a dubstep track to create a dark, 'underground' type atmosphere to it. This will help keep the film looking genuine as well as making it easier for our actors as they won't need to show the genre through their acting as much as they would without.
