Mr Jones
We are targeting our head-teacher to be male of around 30 to 40 years of age, short black hair and well kept shaven facial hair. We require 1 actor to play Mr Jones.
I have surveyed 5 people from my media group, to determine their idea of what these teachers teach. The overall results were;
Image 1 - Geography / History
Image 2 - Head-teacher / Senior Teacher
Image 3 - Drama.
From this survey, I can identify that if we model our head-teacher; Mr Jones to image number two, then we would gain the desired effect of portraying this character as a head-teacher. I was able to gain through costume that image 1 is a young teacher, stylish shirt, loose tie and shirt. Where as image 3, although wearing a plain white shirt i am able to identify a stylish tie and brown trousers. Image 2 portrays a senior member of staff due to a full suit, plain shirt and tie. I am also able to identify this characters importance due to his formal dress including a long sleeve shirt in which comes below the arm length of his suit jacket. This character also seems to be wearing cufflinks.
Miss Smith
We are targetting our teacher to be female, of around 20 years of age and with blonde hair. We require 1 Actress to play Miss Smith.
