Preliminary Characters

The Old Guy.

 In the online conversations the Old Guy is pretending to be a 16/17 year old boy because he is a pedophile and is wanting to "pick up" young girls. In the flashbacks the Old Guy's text is displayed in blue as that is stereo typically a 'boy's colour' and he would use this to get across the fact that he really is a boy.
 The Old Guy is dressed in a blue suit so the audience match him with the blue text, that way there is no confusion. The red tie symbolises danger, as he is a pedophile, but it also creates tension as it's quite a threatening colour.
 When the Old Guy texts it subverts stereotypes because we see he is educated with using a phone and can do smiley faces which many of the older generation get confused with.


The Homosexual Guy.

 In the online conversations the Homosexual Guy is pretending to be a 16/17 year old girl because he is a guy and thinks pretending to be a girl will be an easier way of meeting a lot of boys. In the flashbacks the Homosexual Guy's text is pink because he is 'playing' a girl and feels that this will convince people that he is more likely to be a girl.
 He dresses in pink to link himself with the text from his online conversations but also to adhere to the stereotype that gay people always wear pink.
 As a teenager he is very apt at texting and when he speaks he has the intonations of someone who is homosexual.


The Girl Who Wears White

 The Girl Who Wears White (GWW) is the only other character to have scripted dialogue so we may as well mention her.
 She is wearing white as she is an innocent character; she doesn't have a intentional part in the Old Guy's/Homosexual Guy's meet up.
 GWW is a very "girly-girl" and talks in the sarcastic way that teenage girls speak, she also storms out which is very dramatic and subverts the innocent stereotype but adheres to the teenage girl stereotype.


Propps' Character Types.
 There are no official characters who fit in to the theory in specific spots, however they can be placed into groups, although somewhat vaguely.


HERO:
 You could say that both the Old Guy and the Homosexual Guy are Heroes, or more appropriately "Quest Goers" as they are both on a "quest" too meet each other and are not actually going to save anything.


VILLAIN:
 You could also say that both the Old Guy and the Homosexual Guy are Villains.
 The Old Guy is a villain because he is in fact a pedophile and he is out to , most probably, kidnap the girl (boy).
 The Homosexual Guy can also be classed as a villain because at the end of the video he claims to have worked out that the Old Guy is a pedophile and so the meeting could have been a trap but what happens next is up to the audience to work out.


PRINCESS:
 The only other character type I can think of fitting someone into is putting the Homosexual Guy into the Princess category. He is placed here because he is actually in dreadful danger of being kidnapped and taken advantage of by a pedophile and so he needs "protecting" and "saving" although not by our two Heroes in this clip.
