Star image and power

If there was to be a film following our trailer, and I could cast a famous Hollywood actress to play the part of Rosie, I would want to cast Jennifer Lawrence. This is because of two main reasons; one being that she has a huge fan base and star power, the other being that her previous roles, and the characteristics of her personality are alike with those we hope to create in Rosie.

Her fame came with the release of 'The Hunger Games' as she played, and still plays, the main role of 'Katniss Everdeen'. These films are a huge hit and have allowed Jen to be recognized worldwide. Also, these films have created a huge fan base, and within that Jennifer also has a huge fan base. This is useful as Jennifer alone has the power to open a film, as she is popular enough that the audience will go to see a film just because she is in it. Her star power would almost guarantee success for our film. This coincides with Richard Dyers star theory, in which he refers to stars as images that have been constructed through magazines, films, and advertising, rather than real people.

The Hunger Games

In almost all of the films Jennifer stars in, she has a bold, strong minded attitude. She is always portrayed in a way that the audience both like, and respect her for her individual actions. This is an important characteristic of the female hero in any film, this is what makes Jennifer so suitable for our trailer. Physically, she has a fresh face and is quite natural looking, this along with her slim figure make her appear vulnerable and naive, however her personality shows us that she's not vulnerable, which again, makes her a good choice for the main role in our trailer.
