We have used stereotypical characters when casting for the role of the prince and princess. We have used the actress Kayleigh Winter, who fits the 'blonde hair, blue eyes', vulnerable female category, suggesting the innocence and naivety which is needed for this particular part. The role of the prince will be played by Joe Lockyear, fitting the 'charming male' stereotype.
Both fit the age of our target audience, so our audience can relate to more to our characters and the relationship they present.
For the costumes used in our production, we used extra props such as the crown and the castle to imply fantasy and to present the idea of a prince and a princess, however for the actual clothes our characters wear we wanted to show a typical teenage style. For this our characters just wore plain clothes; Kayleigh wore blue jeans, black top and a scarf, a typical outfit for her and other female teenagers; Joe wore blue jeans and a grey cardigan, again a typical outfit for him and other male teenagers. The plain and 'normal' clothing of the teenagers juxtaposes against the crowns and other props of our 'fantasy' scenario.
