Our main character, Maddison, will fall into the less popular, but nicer girl group. However she tries to fit in with the popular girls during the film as she thinks this will help her get closer to the popular boy. The less popular girl group are a nicer group who care about their education and work hard as well as having fun and enjoying themselves.
In comparison the popular group don't care about their grades and only care about how others perceive them. They want to be the centre of attention, are usually self centred and always expect people to look up at them. However in films that we have studied such as mean girls, the popular group of girls think everyone admires them but they are actually despised by everyone. This is usually evident in a film as the popular group often aren't as popular by the end due to an event that has happened. Our character in this role is called Amber and she is seeing Dylan. She feels like she is untouchable and that she is the most popular girl in the school. When the new girl (Maddison) joins the school she instantly makes sure she knows who she is by picking on her. Also The popular girls are stereotypically good looking.
The popular boy group are stereotypically sporty, popular and attractive. This group is important as the target audience are girls so they will enjoy the film if there is an attractive character. Sometimes a well-known, attractive character can persuade people to watch a film. Within the film the main character in this popular boy group is called Dylan. He is the cause for conflict between Maddison and Amber since they both like him. Again, girls can relate to this as they have experienced this in their life.
