Mini Character Profiles

Mini Character Profiles:

In order to effectively convey the narrative of our Music video, the characters had to be well planned out and opposing. As we opted for a narrative which conveys binary oppositions with a sad girl and a cruel boy we needed to show this through the text messages and mise en scene, as the boy only appears in the girls fantasies throughout the video.

Female:

Our main character is a female, who we have confirmed will be played by Lois Woodward, an 18 year old drama and media student. The character is portrayed as unlucky in love, and represents a stereotypical failed relationship in which she still thinks about the boy despite their end. Her emotions we plan to show through a range of techniques such as extreme close ups, acting and effects – for example we can use the ghosting effect to show confusion of her mind regarding the relationship.

Male:

The only other character within the music video is better represented through

text messages and short clips as opposed to being in the whole narrative as an actor. We think this will be more effective as the audience will empathise with the girl more, as we only see her side of the story. We don’t know why the boy doesn’t want to be with the girl, nor if the relationship was ever real, which is effective to consider both sides of the story, even though we are only showing one. If you read between the lines of our music video, we want people to be able to see the male’s perspective.
