Sam:
Lola's #1 Fan-
-Large green parka jacket
-Nirvana t-shirt
-Skinny blue jeans
-Worn black pumps
-"I love U Lola" banner that the fan waves to the camera sat on the steps at the end of the extract.
This is the outfit worn by Lola's #1 fan in,
Shot 10 - Lola running away from the fan in slow motion.
Shot 36 - Another slow motion shot acting as bridge to the advert break showing Lola's last devoted fan waving his sign.

Choy:
Lola's victim-
-This costume worn by Choy isn't seen in the extract just the outline of her silhouette to conceal her identity.
Shot 33 - An unknown and unidentified individual recollects her traumatic past experiences involving Lola.
Amy:
Lola Rouge
-Over sized basic shades
-Cream trench coat
-Black tights
-Black boots
This is the outfit worn by Lola in many of the short extracts showing what is yet to come in the show. It is also the costume seen in the establishing shots outside the college.
Shot 8 - Slow motion shot of Lola laughing.
Shot 10 -Slow motion shot of Lola running from her fan.
Shot 11 - Slow motion shot of Lola smoking.
Shot 16 - 1st establishing shot outside of college.
Shot 19 - Return to the same shot at the end of the interior college extracts.
-An idea for Lola's character/costume was that she would constantly don her sunglasses even indoors to try and retain some of her fading identity as a celebrity.
________________________________________________________________
For Lola's main outfit featured in the armchair style interview we set out to achieve a tacky "chav" look to emphasise her character.
Kerry Katona was a key figure in the inspiration of Lola's character so we decided a costume that resembled her would work well in our film. Coleen McCloughin was also an inspiration.
-Large pink hoop earrings
-Black tracksuit jacket
-An old tacky plain pink top

WATERSHED - JACOB
The 'watershed' is a time period in television when adult content can be shown. This can range from anything such as the use of strong language to the refrences of sexual intercourse or drug use. With the obvious lack of age restrictions on television it is essential to create an allocated cut off time where adult content can be shown so it is not easily accessed by younger viewers. (Ofcom in the U.K recognises younger viewers as anyone under the age of 15). In the western world the usual watershed time on television is 9.00 - 10.00pm. Switzerland is an odd exception with no watershed time 'However, broadcasters are required by law to avoid any confrontation of minors with unsuitable programming through the choice of transmission time.'
In the U.K some shows referred to as being in the 12+ category can be shown before 9.00pm, such as The Simpsons. The Simpsons contains often mild use of language along with references to drug use and sexual activity. However often on Channel4 certain parts of the episode may be cut out.
In our film 'The Rise and Fall of Lola Rouge' our main 'threat' to younger viewers would be the use of strong language despite all of it being censored out. Documentaries such as this are aimed at an older audience anyway and 9.00pm is often a suibtable time to air such shows.
