Models and Costume/Prop list

The two models I have chosen to use are Mia Edwards, 17, and Tess Richardson, 17. I chose these girls as they are aesthetically parallel to each other. I believe these models will be appropriate for this approach, as I wish to portray gender performance taking inspiration from Judith Butler's theory, as both models portray themselves on opposite ends of the stereotype spectrum in their personal lives. 

Here is my annotated sheet with my reasoning for choosing these models.

I believe these girls will also be appropriate as they are both in the same age demographic, matching up to the demographic of the brief. I also chose these girls as I know they are both knowledgeable on media and current trends, further helping the portrayal I wish to provide.

Initially, I created a groupchat on the app Snapchat. Mia replied within minutes yet Tess did not, I texted her personally.

I texted Tess on her personal number (cropped out) and she got back to me in the afternoon.

Props and costume list

As I will be portraying both gender roles, as if it were a performance (reference to Judith Butler), I had to narrow down my approaches.

For Mia:

- Stereotypical housewife

- Tall shoes, high heels

- Thick make-up

- Red lipstick and mascara
