How we want to represent our characters as they are arguing and having relationship issues.it is clear to see that there is tension in the relationship through the body language and space between them.
The female artist:
Want her to look isolated and be alone in an empty room like
the female in ‘Love the way you lie’ to show how miserable she is feeling.
The male artist:
We want him to also look alone, but show is anger and
frustration more in his body language and fed up facial expressions.
Analysis of music
videos which portray relationship issues:
This is the relationship we want our characters to have
within the video. It is clear that they are having problems in their
relationship which is why we want to show them together arguing a lot, but
individually looking upset and alone. We want our visuals to portray a
difference in representation for each character. The female will look more sad
and upset by what has gone on which is conventional to her gender stereotype,
and the man will look more angry and frustrated, suiting his gender
stereotypes.
My male character
Name: Jemima
Name: Sezer
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Turkish
Gender stereotype of
role: He will take on the role of a classic male who is dealing with
relationship issues. He will be masculine, for example, he will shout a lot
during arguments and go to the gym to release his anger and frustration.
Costume: He will wear
sports clothing to suit the idea that he has gone to the gym. This will be dark
though to reflect his sad emotions. He will also wear his hood up when training
to show how he wants to forget about everything that is going on.
Body language and
facial expression: he will have an angry facial expression when arguing so
people buy into his feelings and when working out, he will look focused and
determined to show he wants to forget about all his problems at home and take
out the frustration on his actions, which is what men do.
Role within the music
video: he will play the boyfriend who is having issues with the female
character in the video. He will be quite an angry guy to show how ‘everyone
loves a bad boy’ and this is the representation we want him to have.
My female character:
Name: Jemima
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Black
Gender stereotype of
role: She will take on the role of a classic female who is really upset
with the problems in her relationship. She will be very elegant and feminine to
show she is a classic girlfriend figure and so the audience feel sorry for her.
Where the male character will go to the gym to deal with his issues, she will
stay at home and deal with her problems in a domestic way.
Costume: she will wear, grey track suit and white top to suit the idea that she's at home. This will show that she is at home relaxing in calm environment even through she is going through pain in her relationship try to remain calm in her own space.
Body language and
facial expression: she will have an frustration facial expression when she is arguing so that people could understand what she is going through, she will be sitting on show that she is at breaking point as she will be staring into the camera so that people relate with what she is feeling. This is something what women do when they are going through relationship they feel low about themselves.
Role within the music
video: she will play the girlfriend who is going through problems between the male character in the music video. she will appear annoying and always complaining. this is the representation we want to have.
