How:
After some initial direction, and with support as required, the entries for each character will be shot alone in the comfort of the bedroom of the actor/actress when they have the time to do so and using their own wardrobe. There should be zero expenses to the actor/actress. Audio and visual equipment will be supplied by Secret Diary. Likewise, this is a low budget production and no remuneration will be paid up front to any actors and actresses. Instead, in a generous effort to get this channel up and running, Secret Diary is willing to pay 10% of any money earned by Secret Diary: School Fire to each actor/actress. If, for example, each entry received 100,000 views then that would mean an estimated $4,400 USD per actor/actress. Actual pay would depend entirely on series viewership and it could be more or less than this, but this estimate should hopefully showcase the potential.

Cheerleader Type (Hannah):
A happy go lucky girl who comes from a rich family. She loves fashion, dancing
and gossip and is an extreme extrovert. She can generally be described as
unintelligent and gullible and while she loves to gossip she is never intentionally
mean. She is the most popular girl in school and is impossible to dislike. She
despises violence and believes in karma.
High Achiever Type (Sarah):
An extremely intelligent, cold and calculating teenage girl whose dad has left
her mom and her, leaving them poor and barely scraping by. She uses the intense
distrust this has created to guide her decisions and everything she does is
with an end goal of escaping her home town and becoming rich and successful.
She is quite popular still as she is a great actress and people think she is
nicer than she is, but deep down she is manipulative and cruel-hearted.
Jock Type (Mike): An
excellent baseball and basketball player whose hard work and team first
attitude carry him to successes in those fields. His work ethic carries over to
academics but the success doesn’t, much to his father’s disappointment. He
comes from a rich family and is the most popular boy in school. He has an easy
way about him and generally tries to make good decisions.
Brainy Geek Type (Emily):
A bookish and earnest girl who is always in the running for top student. She
only really has one friend and would lean towards being introverted. Her mother
was her hero and she recently passed away causing her to rethink her life and
try to get outside of her comfort zone. Trusting to a fault, she is a well
intentioned girl who will still needs to learn a lot of life lessons.
Lazy Gamer Type (Matt):
A loner who only really has one friend and prefers to stay away from people
when at all possible, despite constant pressure otherwise from his parents.
Doesn’t like being in the limelight and gets very nervous when forced into it. Very
laid back and tends to put the bare minimum of effort into everything except
for gaming. He is someone people would like if they could ever get him to come
out of his shell.
