Ideas for Lead Characters

For our two lead lovers, we need to come up with ideas for their personalities, appearances and also names.

As a group we instantly agreed on both characters being from Middle Class families as it would be more bonding with the audience. Due to a major sector of our target audience being from the middle or working class, they would be able to relate and form a bond with our characters which is what we want.

By following the usual conventions of Rom-Com movies, the male lead should be a popular character or a total nobody. And the female is then the opposite of the male charcter, either she then would be a nobody or a popular character.

If we were to present the female as an unoticed person, straight away on gets the idea of presenting her as a nerd who is really into studying, wears big glasses, is shy and likes being away from other people into her own world of books.

By presenting the girl as a nerd we would need to make the guy popular however we could break that convention which could bring something new and exciting to our audience. Having the guy be not so popular either would create a cute love story who would bring out a new side of one another. This would create the comedic side of the film.
