Meet Jordyn Diaz and Amelia Jackson

Jordyn Diaz

Jordyn Diaz is a 17 year old high school senior born April 4, 2007. We wanted to give her a specific birthday because we decided she should be an Aries as they are known to be energetic, impulsive, and courageous. Along with a zodiac, we wanted to further develop her personality by giving her an mbti type: esfp. Esfp's are known for being extroverted, impulsive, stubborn, and optimistic which creates a specific personality for Jordyn. The reason we wanted to give our characters an mbti and zodiac sign is because we felt it was the most simple way to develop a more well-rounded personality that we could base the rest of our character on. With her basic characteristics stated, we can better understand what kind of dialogue, mannerisms, and voice she would have.

When deciding her aesthetic, we wanted to give her a name and style that matched her more stubborn and outgoing personality. The name Jordyn we came up with when trying to find a unisex name that would suit her. Alex, Blake, and Jordan were names we were torn between before landing on Jordan with a different spelling. We wanted to further develop her aesthetic so that we could have something to work with when we eventually get to creating her room which will be seen in some of the scenes. Other than just creating a mood board, we also wanted to give her a playlist so that we can know what kind of music she would listen to and what kinds of posters or items she might have in her room that are reflective of her music taste and other personality traits. Spotify Playlist

Amelia Jackson

Amelia Jackson is Jordyn's best friend and one of the main characters in our film. Amelia is also 17, born July 21, 2007. Cancers are known to be loyal, emotional, and overthinkers which is why we selected that to be her birthday. We also decided to give Amelia an mbti type because we also wanted an easy way to develop her mannerisms and personality, but also because we wanted her personality to reflect Jordyn's and to showcase how the two main characters would interact with each other. We gave Amelia the infj mbti type as they are known to be sensitive, idealistic, and reflective which we felt fit the role Amelia will play in our movie and how their contrasting personalities could lead to the climax of the story when they have their falling out.

To  come up with Amelia's name we wanted a sort of unique name that would make her stand out as an important character. The name "Amelia" means hard working, which we thought was fitting because our character Amelia has spent all of high school worrying about her grades and focusing on her studies over her social life, working hard to maintain her gpa. We wanted to develop Amelia's aesthetic but didn't find it necessary to create a playlist for her since the viewer will never see her room. We settled on a mood board to give her an aesthetic that would help us visualize the character and how she would dress.
