11/9/11 Update

I have gathered two clips of films in which I have taken my main inspiration of as I feel that it is a mixture of both. I have taken the idea from 'Another Cinderella Story' of a lower class character who is trying to live her dream, but this is how the inspiration of 'Coyote Ugly' appears. 

I have researched the plot of 'Coyote Ugly' and have discovered that the main plot-line is:

 Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) leaves her hometown of South Amboy, New Jersey, her father Bill (John Goodman), and best friend Gloria (Melanie Lynskey) to pursue her dreams in nearby New York City. When leaving town to become a songwriter, she signs an autograph, which is pinned on the wall of the pizza place where she worked. The wall has many other autographs signed by the rest of the employees in South Amboy that left town hoping to make it big.

 Violet tries unsuccessfully, dozens of times, to get her demo tape noticed by the recording studios. With only a few dollars left in her pocket after her apartment is robbed, she goes to an all-night diner and notices some girls flaunting the hundreds of dollars in tips they earned. After inquiring, she finds out that they work at a trendy bar named Coyote Ugly. She finds her way to the bar and convinces the bar owner Lil (Maria Bello) to hire her. Lil hires her and explains she did so because Violet looks like a kindergarten teacher who the childish bar patrons will come to see. She is reluctantly nicknamed "Jersey". After starting her job, she quickly discovers she must learn the ropes of singing, dancing, and performing wild acts before a rowdy crowd.

 One night, she tries to get herself noticed by a music industry scout. The bartender jokingly points out Kevin O'Donnell (Adam Garcia), making her believe that he is the bar owner. When the joke is discovered, Violet feels that Kevin was making a fool out of her. This event eventually brings them closer together. Kevin tries to help her in overcoming her shyness on the stage and they finally become lovers, in spite of his attempt to hide his past and departure from Australia. One night when she's doing a rowdy move while having water poured on her, Violet's dad Bill decides to pay her a visit at work and gets angry at her. Then Bill gets in a massive car accident.

 She finally lands a deal with a record label after a successful performance at an open mic night at the Bowery Ballroom, which was attended, by all of the 'Coyotes' from the Coyote Ugly saloon.

In 'another cinderella story' the main male character is of a well off background as he is a singer, with the complication of his ex-girlfriend trying to ruin their chances of being together. However, the main female is a lower class worker, with the typical cinderella plot; two step-sisters and an evil stepmother. She has a dream of becoming a dancer and this is one aspect I will use in my products, but with singing rather than dancing.
I have researched the plot of the movie Another Cinderella Story and this is what I have discovered:
This movie is a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale in a modern setting, with Mary Santiago (Selena Gomez), a high school student with ambitions of becoming a dancer, taking the role of Cinderella; Tami (Jessica Parker Kennedy) Mary's only best friend as her fairy godmother; Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) taking the role of the stepmother; Britt (Emily Perkins) and Bree (Katharine Isabelle) as the two stepsisters; and Joey Parker, (Drew Seeley), now a famous celebrity that has returned to school for his senior year and to remember why he started dancing, as the prince. A school dance substitutes for the ball, with the role of the glass slipper filled by a Zune (music player).

In conclusion, I have taken aspects of both films and from this have further discussed how I will connote this through my narrative. I have got a clear idea for my poster & magazine and will further discuss these  when making my flat plans. However, I do not have a specific idea of the characters yet, but have got a female character in which I am going to be using.
