Character descriptions for screenplay(W.I.P.) -10/12/10

For our screenplay i am going to write about characters. Firstly we are going to have 5 main characters each very different from each other, however they will all be similar as they will have a dark, background full of hard tribilations of being a teenager such as gang violence , drugs , crime etc.

However to contrast this the Primary main character who is also the "leader" of the group is a alot more positive , caring and hardworking than the other characters but to keep with breaking the conventions that this film plans too, she will have a horrible , dark past that has shaped her into the person/character that she is at the start of the film. She will also be extremely good at dancing as she helps the other 4 characters to become structured and to help theyre dances flow with eachother. Shes also an extrmely passionate dancer as it was the only thing that kept her going through the bad times , therefore she wants to make sure that the group gain her passion and it helps them just as it helped her once. However similar to the other characters shes also using them in a way as she wants to be able to win the competition and become famous meaning that she has a dual/hidden agenda that makes her just as bad as the other 4 characters.

The other 4 characters consist of 2 guys and 2 girls, This will mean that we will try and have gender represented equally in the film therefore meaning that we wont have to worry about the audience feeling like they're not having sex(male/female) being represented in the film fairly.

The 4 other characters (to keep with breaking the typical conventions of the musical dance genre) are also going to be characters that have dark, deceptive mannerisms and general flaws, this is to hopefully make the audience feel like that maybe if they've been through some hard times that maybe have influenced the way they act in present day this could then maybe have the audience feel like they could relate to the characters which could provoke an emotional response which could keep the audience engaged in our film.
