Character Backgrounds

 People, People, and More People

        The process of fully coming up with character names and their personalities and what they are really like was somewhat an easy but also difficult progress. There are many important characters in this film but for this film opening I will be mainly focusing on 3 main characters. Ana, Summer, and Caleb. Girly-pop, Bookworm, and Boyfriend

Ana:

        Ana De Luna is one of the two main characters within our film. She is a Hispanic 16-year-old girl who moved to Florida when she was around 5 years old. Her hobbies include photography, dancing, and listening to music. Her main colors are blue, pink, yellow, and green to represent how she’s not only honest, trustworthy, and comforting but also how she is a very humbled person who loves to spread positive energy towards others. I thought it was really important to include the Hispanic representation within this character because of her family issues with homosexual relationships, speaking from experience some Hispanics are not the biggest on homosexuality so it really makes a personal connection with audiences who struggle with the same problem as Ana. 

Summer:

        Summer Parker is also one of the two main characters within the film opening. She is an American 16-year-old girl who has lived in the same place for all of her life until she moved to Florida for her dad's new job. Her hobbies include reading, manifestation with crystals, writing, and gardening. Her main colors are red, green, and black to represent how she isn’t just compassionate and very down to earth but also has good leadership skills and is a powerful person. One of Summers connection that she makes with the audience is her insecurities with her body. Many people in modern day society struggle with finding beauty within themselves because of social media trends, models, and distortions that manipulate the realism of a person versus what they want you to see on the internet. Summers character is mainly based as the love interest of Ana and how they fall in love with each other. 

Caleb:

        Caleb Jimenez is your typical 16-year-old dream boyfriend in every teenage romance movie. He's part Hispanic part American because his mom is from Argentina and his dad was born and raised in the United States. He is a straight A student, charismatic, funny, kind, and your gentleman type boyfriend that every girl moons over in at school. His hobbies include cooking, guitar playing, and working out at the gym, one thing about Caleb is that he can get jealous very easily which sometimes causes conflict between him and Ana. His color pallet is mainly red, dark green, and yellow to represent how he is also compassionate, optimistic, and very down to earth. He is very similar to Summer because of Ana's love type. Since Caleb and Summer share similar characteristics it makes sense that Ana falls for her because she is so much like Caleb but also different in a way because Summer isn't the jealous type unlike Caleb.
