Task 3
Transcript of Task 3
Summary:
Overall this article is an interview between Jennifer Lawrence and a celebrity
journalist Aaron Gell from Marie Claire magazine. The interview covers a
variety of different topics all revolving her personal life and her recent filming
of ‘the Hunger Games- mockingjay part 1 and 2’. The interview clearly tries to
show more about the actresses own life, her friends and how she deals with her
new found fame. I learned a lot more about the actresses personal struggle
with fame as she discussed the change in her own personality and that it has
closed her off a lot. She also spoke of the 2014 Oscars and her relationship
with fellow actor of the time Nicholas Hoult.

Further Research:
To develop on this research I could look in to video
interviews to learn more about the actress and get
more information. I could also read film reviews as
she has been in many different types and styles of
film so this could be interesting. Wikipedia could
also be another option and also looking on
IMDB.com for more info on her films. http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/jlaw
Summary:
This is another interview, however this was from vogue magazine as Jennifer
Lawrence featured on the cover. This article follow a humorous theme, showing the
actresses comic side and her real personality. The whole article is set out in an
article style with lots of the actresses quotes used throughout supporting the
journalists piece. The interview is very long and consists of 7 hours worth of
information, all of which is largely about her own accendotes and stories which she
tells the journalist and working on X-men and the hunger games. I have learnt
much more about the actresses personality rather than a lot of factual information,
as she discussed a lot of events and things that have happened to her as well as the
films she has been in recently and how it was to film with some of the other actors.

Further Research:
I would like to look in to the other actors in which she
mentioned in this interview who she had worked with in
her most recent films X-men and the hunger games. There
also may be some cast interviews on YouTube that I could
look at. I could also look at some of the trailers of her
recent films to gather more information on the actual films.
Summary:
This article featured in the telegraph showed an interview the writer had with
Jennifer Lawrence however it had been set out in a normal article style with a
selection of quotes used through it. Overall this article talks a lot about the
struggles that the actress has to go through due to the fame she now has, she also
expects to be treated like a normal person and forgets that people don’t see her like
that anymore and that the fame she now has changed that. She also speaks of her
most recent film of the time the interview was done ‘American Hustle’, the actors
are also spoken about and how it was to film this.

Further Research:
I would like to look at the trailer for the movie American
hustle and also the actors that are in it as she has now
worked with some of them once again in her most recent
films. Look at further interviews as she commonly talks
about her personal life which could be really interesting.
Summary:
This article was published after a ‘photo hacking scandal’ took place involving nude pictures
of her being leaked by a famous blogger Perez Hilton online. This article takes quotes from
Jennifer's first interview after the scandal broke in Vanity Fair magazine and explains what
had happened and also her reaction. I learnt that her reaction was actually very bold as she
never released an apology, instead she explained that she doesn’t need to and that she feels
‘violated’ as a result of this ‘illegal release’. Friends of hers like fellow actress Lena Dunham
also spoke up about the scandal urging people to not look at the images as this is just as much
of a crime. She also gives a positive message and informs her fans that she will not be angry
or upset anymore about this and that she is going to find ‘peace’.

Further Research:
I will like to look in to actress Lena Dunham to
see her involvement in this situation and also the
actual Vanity Fair article in which she released
her full interview.
Summary:
In this video interview Jennifer Lawrence appears on the Late
show with David Letterman, which is a really famous chat show
in America. This interview along with it being focused around
random chit chat, it does show the actresses funny and bubbly
personality. They discuss her newest release ‘The silver linings
playbook’ in which she had to sing and this was something she
had never had to do before and The Hunger Games –
Mockingjay which she has finished filming along with the
fourth in the Hunger games series which is due to be out in
2015. However ‘mockingjay’ is due to be released November
2014 and this interview includes Jennifer Lawrence speaking of
the filming of it and also what it’s about. The actress is also
questioned on her personal life and this is the main topic of
conversation as this is a really relaxed and informal style of
interview in which she shares stories and anecdotes of her life
and recent events. This particular interview does really focus in
on her actual life rather than the films she is doing at the minute
also. She also discusses her co star Josh Hutcherson and Woody
Harrelson and also her relationship with actor Nicholas Hoult.
She then speaks of making changes in her life such as moving
house and taking a break from work linking with some of the
articles I have read concerning her work as many people had
written about the amount of work she was doing without any
breaks.

Further Research:
I would like to look at more of her interviews on this particular show as she
has been on this show many times as she promotes each of her newest films.
These types of chatty and informal interviews do show the actresses personal
life and lets the fans of the actor get to know more about them. I would then
like to search more of the actors she spoke about because she quite regularly
talks of co-actors of the movies she's making and famous friends. Another
thing I could potentially look at would be the films she's been making and the
actors working alongside her. Quotes:
“I do not like singing in front of other people, that’s like my biggest fear. I’m scarred from my childhood
because I have a very southern mother who told me I was amazing at everything and that I could do anything.
But I can’t! I have this tone deaf Amy Whinehouse voice”
“interviewer: you don’t believe in haunting and stuff like that do you? Jennifer: Of course I do! I believe in
anything unrealistic. I had a ghost when I was visiting my ex boyfriend Nick in Africa”
“My family have been hilarious with the whole fame thing because they haven’t changed at all!”
Summary:
The Wikipedia page for Jennifer Lawrence basically has all the
information on the facts about her, for example when she was
born and who her parents are and where she lived. However it
also has a lot of information on her career and also the early
aspects of her career before she found fame, when she was in a
lot of indie movies that weren’t very popular and also how she
made it as an actress on her first TV show introducing her to the
kind of work she would be doing and what it was like as an
actress. It discusses her being made the face of Dior and
working with some of the biggest actors in Hollywood like
Christian bale and Robert De Niro. It also then talks about each
of the movies she has worked on and also the actors that she
was working with on each of them.

Further Research:
There is some other links on the page linking to IMDB, new York times
and some review websites all places that you can find and Jennifer
Lawrence and the films she has worked on. I could definitely look at
these and see all the films she has worked on and also see some of the
well known actors she has worked with as she has done many interviews
with a lot of the actors she has done a film with. There are also many
links all over the page on specific actors and award so I could see what
different awards she has won and then look at some of the other actors
that are mentioned.
Primary Research: questions…
1. What is your favourite film that Jennifer Lawrence has been in and why?
2. Which of the Hunger Games films has been your favourite and why?
3. What is your favourite quote from any of the hunger games films and why?
4. Has Jennifer Lawrence been any influence to you and if so, how?
5. Would you say that Jennifer Lawrence is a style icon to you?
6. If you could choose any actor for Jennifer Lawrence to work with on a film who would it be?
7. What was the first film you ever saw Jennifer Lawrence in?
8. Which role that Jennifer Lawrence has played do you feel relates to your personality best if any, and why?
9. What genre of film would you like to see her in next?
Quotes:
“Catching fire…my favourite book from the Hunger Games series”
Jennifer Lawrence “has influenced my style quite a bit”
“I think she would be great in romantic comedies”
“Winter’s Bone because it’s a character that people can relate to and teaches life lessons”
“If you could choose an actor for her to work with? … Emma Stone! They’re both so
funny!”
Further Research: I could now look
at the films they mentioned and also
look at more online fan pages and
blogs to collect any additional
information from fans. I could then
look at the actors Emma Stone and
also Ewan McGregor to see what
other work they have done and if
they have ever previously worked
with Jennifer Lawrence.
Summary: These two questionnaires
both showed a lot of love for the
actress and both share their age
which range from 16 to 25 and their
gender, female. They show
similarities in the sense that they
both chose the hunger games as their
favourite film and catching fire as
their favourite from the trilogy. They
then go on to show some contrast as
you can see that one chose Winter’s
Bone and the other chooses X-Men
First Class as the film they first saw
the actress star in.

Quotes:
“Hunger games (she is just an inspiration to me and I find her in hunger games amazing”
“I feel that the first one had a lot more dramatic action and nothing beats the first film of a
series”
“I look up to her acting as a wannabe actor myself”
“Which role relates to you? Katniss Everdeen”
“I feel Johhny Depp would be a perfect combination as she is really funny and crazy like
him”
Further Research: I could now look
at the films they mentioned and also
look at more online fan pages and
blogs to collect any additional
information from fans. I could then
look at the actors Johnny Depp and
also Josh Hutcherson to see what
other work they have done and if
Josh Hutcherson in particular is set to
work with her again and if Johnny
Depp has ever previously worked
with her.
Summary: These survey responses
showed that one was a male and one
was female, the two of them also
explained that the hunger games was
both their favourite film Jennifer has
been in and also agreed that they
would most likely want to see her in
a romantic comedy next which also
matched up with a lot of the other
responses I got from the survey. Each
chose a completely different style of
actor as one chose Johnny Depp and
the other chose Josh Hutcherson
which were both common answers.

Quotes:
“she’s influenced me to become a better person everyday”
“The hunger games. It doesn’t look like she’s acting it’s so good”
“She is my idol, I really love her. She is just down to earth and gives great advice”
Further Research: I could now
potentially look at the trailers of the
films they have both mentioned for
example ‘house at the end of the
street’ as this seemed to be a firm
favourite of one of the people. This
would give me an idea of what films
her fans enjoy her in and also what
they would like to see more of. I
could also look at any quotes the star
has made regarding inspirational
messages to her fans.
Summary: Here I was informed that
each of these questionnaires in
particular were very different and
had different ideas of the actresses
strengths which gave my results
some interesting information and
showed difference in opinion bearing
in mind that they were both around
the same age and the same gender.
One felt that the actress would be
best suited next in a horror and the
other would prefer to see her in a
comedy. The only thing that they
both agreed on completely was that
the actress had a positive influence
on them .

Quotes:
“she has great comedic timing”
“In silver linings playbook I loved her honesty”
“I really love her style, particularly the outfits she wears to premiers”
“She makes me stronger and more self-confident”
“As far as style she is one to watch”
Further Research: I would like to
look in to what age range most likes
her as I think this could be really
interesting, I also think that looking
at the actors they mentioned, such as
Diane Keaton and also the films that
they had most enjoyed for example,
Silver Linings Playbook.
Summary: The two questionarries
show answers from the ages of 16 –
30+ so there is quite a large contrast
of age, however some of the answers
do some some similarities. For
example they both picked silver
linings playbook as their favourite
film that the star is in. On the other
hand they also show many signs that
show contrast in their answers as the
younger had seen the hunger games
as the first movie she was in as this is
more appealing to this age range and
the older of the two had seen winters
bone as the first film.
