Film's Cool Kate hardie 2

During Today's Film school session my group had another chance to talk to Kate Hardie, she worked with us on developing our plot. She helped us to understand why certain things might happen and what could cause them to happen. this helped the group to have a clear understanding about why specific characters were included and why certain situations occurred. This then further developed our ideas and plot.


One thing that Kate couldn't understand was how a lonely/outcast girl wanted/became popular in the school?

Why would she (Sinead) suddenly want to become popular?

We explained to her that Sinead had just come from a Uniformed school to a Non-Uninformed school so she struggled to meet the fashion trends and standards of the other students, which is how they then isolated her as an outcast because had a different dress sense to them. As the people have judged her a made her an outcast this then reflects on the fact that she herself is an outcast. She doesn't want to be an outcast anymore and has had enough so she just wants to know what its like to be a popular girl with people surrounding her.

What is motivating her needing to be popular?

The fact that Sinead has been judged as a loser in her new school make her hungry for popularity as she doesn't fit in as the new girl so she wants to be apart of the popular girl group.
