Who's That Guy?

After two weeks, the wait is finally over! We decided the name of the male character 
that Margo will run away with: Liam. We wanted to create a cool, edgy male sidekick 
that Margo can trust and confide in. Inspiration for this type of character came from J.D. 
in Heathers. Guys like J.D. are mysterious and create interest for audience members to 
know their past; by creating this type of character, this influences the audience to become 
more intrigued into the film and want to watch more. However, he won’t be goth or depressed 
like J.D. in Heathers because that is a little dark for the adventure movie we are aiming for.

In addition to Liam, we wanted Margo to have a relaxed, natural look, so by incorporating 
the primary colors and everyday outfits, we pictured Margo having a wardrobe similar to 
Katarina Strafford from 10 Things I Hate About You. The following picture is an example of 
the outfits that Katarina wears in the movie.

By dressing Margo in normal clothes, this helps teenagers who are watching our 
film opening to relate to Margo’s character. We didn’t want to create the cliche dystopian 
society like The Hunger Games or Divergent because we truly wanted our audience to 
understand the roller coaster of feelings that Margo must be going through. These emotions 
can be portrayed through clothing, so it is very important!

Once we’ve put together the first outfit, I will post it in the next blog post. Bye for now!
