The Main Character

 The main character for our film opening is Betty, and I will be describing her today. Knowing Betty's true self is crucial to understanding the film opening, so pay close attention!

Physically, Betty is a 17-year old tall black girl. She has black, long hair that extends to her waist. Her facial expressions should make her seem approachable at most times, but she may seem a bit more angry than usual in the film opening because of her recent heartbreak.

 The costume Betty wears resembles any basic outfit a teenager would be seen in today. In our film opening, she wears a light pink long sleeve shirt with blue jeans. Although most teenagers wear clothes like this anyways, we thought it would be nice for Betty to wear pastel pink since it can subtly depict her innocence.

The props Betty has include the teddy bear that James gave her. This teddy bear is shown in the trash, showing that Betty now rejects any of the love that James once gave her. Other props are ripped love letters, ripped photos of James and Betty, and wilted flowers. This also has the same effect, since Betty demonstrates her heartbreak and disapproval with her previous relationship.

Mentally and personality-wise, Betty is a smart, kind, and caring girl. She sometimes can care too much about things, like her makeup for instance. She was neither bullied nor a bully in school, since she was kind to everyone no matter who they were. Everyone at school likes her, but she was by no means the stereotypical "popular" girl. She is also very strong and picks herself up whenever life gets tough. This is because she is highly motivated to be the best version of herself, even if it means cutting people out of her life for her own healing.

Betty's communication style would have to be on the timid side most of the time. She was normally a shy girl that didn't speak up for herself. This results in a somewhat soft and quiet sounding voice. But, this breakup turned her into a girl who stands her ground and knows what she wants, delivering her thoughts quickly and concisely. Despite this change, she still has hints of that sweet shyness she once had before the breakup.

Although Betty may say she definitely knows what she wants in her life, she can still feel a bit conflicted at times. She may say that she doesn't want anything to do with James anymore, but the thought of him with another girl (August) still secretly hurts her. Betty surely still has some feelings for James since they loved each other so deeply, and if this film were to be a complete film, it would probably show her growth and final realization that there are other fish in the sea.
