Aiden - Main character
We decided to use a male as the leading role because based on our research, there were few films with a male as the leading role in the Teen Angst genre. The films that we found where there was a male lead role were: 17 Again, John Tucker Must Die and Superbad.
Aiden is a stereotypical popular boy who gets all of the attention and is also seen as a 'leader' type of character in his group of 'lads'. He is popular because he is seen by everyone as cool and funny. Aiden dresses in smart/casual clothing. which is stereotypical for a boy of his age. He also has a love interest, however she is an unpopular girl and his friends make fun of him because they think of it as weird how a popular boy likes an unpopular girl. This is also why the title is called 'Opposites'.
Kate - Aiden's love interest
Kate is your stereotypical not so popular girl character. She is quiet, shy, doesn't have many friends and feels as if she is invisible. She is Aiden's love interest however they do not interact with each other until the football hits her. She will also wear smart/casual clothing however they will be quite plain as she doesn't really care too much about what she wears.
Jessica - Kate's best friend
Jessica is Kate's best friend and she is also unpopular. Her only friend is Kate and they are very like each other and do everything together. She also wears typical smart/casual clothing.
Tom - Aiden's friend
Tom is Aiden's friend/ 'wingman'. Similar to Aiden, he is also popular as he is apart of a big friends group of boys ('Lads'). Tom also thinks that liking an unpopular girl is strange.
Each of the characters are 17 years old.
