as they go out on their first date. With Dave being the high school nerd and Aurora being
the popular girl, forming a bond obviously would not be easy. However, the story will
peel back the layers of these two teenagers to the point that they realize that they are
more than what their stereotypes suggest them to be. Since my work’s main idea revolves
around stereotyping and how people use it as a way to identify a person’s character,
hopefully it can emphasize to the audience the importance of not judging people based on
their appearances without knowing them on a personal level. To be more specific, my
screenplay will touch on stereotyping and how it shapes the main character Dave’s
perspective of his own and other people’s self-identity. For that, I will use Charles
Horton Cooley’s Looking Glass-Self theory to showcase its effect on the characters on
both physical and psychological level. Set in a couple’s first date, the genre for my work
will be teen romance. I see a lot of similarities in the genre’s convention and opposites attract
storyline with my screenplay’s subject matter of stereotyping.
