I have decided to look at the most recent coming of age film called 'The DUFF' I feel that this will link well to my production as the characters all show different personalities, which is something in common with my production. This film really helps to show that there are multiple themes and representations throughout, especially gender, as each of the main characters shows a different representation of that Gender. Within the beginning of the trailer, it helps to show the different representations of gender. Mainly to do with females, making this a 'chick flick' to show girls that they all can belong to a different group and be okay with it. Throughout the trailer there is also a form of rebellious behaviour being portrayed through the soundtrack and acting of various different characters. I feel this film is a good representation to go by, in terms of representation and the use of inter titles, as there is a comic book style throughout as well as a modern twist on the editing.
Bianca is a content high school senior whose world is shattered when she learns the student body knows her as 'The DUFF' (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her prettier, more popular friends. Now, despite the words of caution from her favourite teacher, she puts aside the potential distraction of her crush, Toby, and enlists Wesley, a slick but charming jock, to help reinvent herself. To save her senior year from turning into a total disaster, Bianca must find the confidence to overthrow the school's ruthless label maker Madison and remind everyone that no matter what people look or act like, we are all someone's DUFF.
