Inspiration- Song Eminem-Almost Famous (Dirty)



This song also inspired me as i could use the mentality eminem has to 'copypaste' onto my character. Eminem is quite humble in his songs rapping about reality and how he is normal and has problems, this could reflect in my character seen as his life before fame is full of troubles and problems. Eminem can also come across as cocky in his music but only to taunt fellow 'haters' this is another characteristic my main character will inherit.

Day 5

Surprise! The Re-introduction of some recognised Faces.

In my soap opera trailer I will be re-introducing some characters from past productions. I wanted this soap to catch the audience and their attention. Making these additions to the cast will give the soap a larger and wider variety in character and culture, Therefore it will appeal to a much wider audience. These characters will also add a greater appeal to the trailer, this is because they carry a certain fame with them. With their 'superstardom' they will give the trailer a magnetic feel, attracting the audience into the soap.

Costume- TK

TK's costume was picked in 'Unwanted Criminal' to   reflect his thuggish life in crime. He was specifically made to look rugged but at the same time up to date with style.

Costume- Fernando

There are two parts to Fernando's costume. His costume should reflect not only his surroundings, social class, and origin. I want costume to reflect his identity and also his personality.
In the soap he has two sides to him, these are:
1.His poor, unknown, helpless life.
2.His rich, famous, crazy life.
His costume has to reflect both sides of this appropriately and has to correspond with the story.





                          



Character Influence- TK

I chose to Re-introduce the main character from 'Unwanted Criminal' to the audience. 'Unwanted Criminal' was my opening sequence from last year, TK was a Latin-american thug living in the crime-filled area of Paddington. This location will feature in my soap. TK

Character Influence- Fernando


Like millions of kids around the world, Santiago harbors the dream of being a professional footballer. However, living in the Barrios section of Los Angeles, he thinks it is only that, a dream. Until one day an extraordinary turn of events has him trying out for Premiership club Newcastle United (Written by 'kpugs'on IMDB)


Santiago (Kuno Becker) dreams of being a professional soccer player. But, living in a poor section of Los Angeles, he doesn't believe he can escape the only life he has ever known. When an extraordinary turn of events has him trying out for the Premiership club Newcastle United, Santiago must defy the odds and prove he has what it takes to play alongside the best players in the world (http://www.zuguide.com/#Goal) 
                                                                                                       Fernando Miguel



Santiago Muñez, is one inspiration behind Fernando Miguel, the main character of my soap. His tough life being the son of a 'below working-class' immigrant in the USA is reflected in the way Fernando is the spanish son of a portuguese single-parent mother who works to keep food on the table.









Eminem also became an inspiration, with his cocky but true to heart lyrics, and his apparent bravery and courage. I wanted to reflect Eminem's personality on Fernando because it is a personality that fits in with the happenings in his life.
