Character Recreations

            In order to create realistic actors, we took photos of possible actors to use and then compared them to real actors so we could see who would be best for the part to create associations within the audience of other well known celebrities who have featured particularly in rom-coms. 

The males we used in the character recreations is Jamie Pywell who we compared to Jude Law who has been in such films as 'The Holiday'. Also Nick Griffiths is compared with Owen Wilson who has acted in films such as 'Marley and Me'. We particularly tried to look for male actors who have been in rom-coms and have bring a comic aspect to such films. 

Our possible female actresses were used to recreate certain celebrities. Charlie Springthrope by styling wavy hair appeared as Jennifer Aniston who has been a popular star in many rom-coms including 'The Break Up' and 'The Switch'. Also Martine McCutcheon from 'Love Actually' was recreated by Beth Leckenby as she wore her hair up and used a pinky lipstick to appear similar. Both these were famous actresses however with our final actress we compared her to the model Myleene Klass, and Lia Lowe recreated her look with long curled hair and  a small amount of eye liner.   

We have decided for our final production piece to use Lia Lowe as our actress because we feel she is very photogenic which relates to our story as the female is a confident model. Also for our male role we have chosen Jamie Pywell as he slightly deviates from the typical conventions of a male character in a rom-com as he has a more 'edgy' appearance and we believe our targeted demographic would be attracted to the film with him as the lead. Additionally, the appearance of both Lia and Jamie appear to look good together and they fit the typical conventions of the pretty girl and the handsome man who eventually would fall in love.
