We wanted to create the character Maya as a shy girl with a low self esteem after previously being bullied in her old secondary school.We decided that plain clothing represent her character well because it would show that she is not interested and also not used to impressing anybody or even herself. The clothing would also show an obvious contrast between her and Cassie which emphasises the two girls as being completely opposite to each other. 
We also decided to use school books and folders as Maya's props when she is on her way to college because it gives the impression that she is only going to college to study and to avoid socialising which she was not very good at in her previous school.
Maya also has a diary which is a key prop in the film as it holds all her thoughts and feelings of her college life. The opening begins with her writing in her diary to show it is a big part of her everyday life and the only thing she can talk to and trust her feelings with, which is a perfect thing to target against her in the climax of the film.

Cassie (Thahmina)

Costumes:

• Printed trousers
• White Plain Top
• Designer Shoes
• Jacket
• Designer Bag 
• Designer Watch

Props

• Lipstick
• Mascara 
• Hair Accessories
• Hair Brush
• Perfumes
• College ID

We wanted to create the character Cassie as a popular girl with a passion for fashion. We decided to use designer costumes to represent her character in this way. Again the designer clothing would show a clear difference between her and Maya as Maya is the complete opposite with boring and plain clothing.

We also decided to use very girly props in the film such as lipsticks and perfume to emphasise that she cares about her appearance a lot. In the opening we will show close ups of her applying make up and getting dressed to give that impression. This shows that she is very careless about her studies and she is more focused on her looks which also highlights the difference between her and Maya. 

Trevor (Jakir)

Costumes:

• Hoody
• Chains
• Jeans
• Shoes

Props:

• Cigarettes
• Phone
• College ID

We wanted to create Trevor, the only boy of the three characters a badboy who leads his gang and attracts all the girls in the college. We decided to create this by giving him chains and a hoody to represent his bad character. In the opening he wakes up with a phonecall from his mum reminding him to stay out of trouble and to make sure he is early to school. This already gives away his reputation of being a bad boy in the past. He then smokes outside his window showing his bad habbits and then he gets ready.
