Planning: Characters

                                                                   Planning characters

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: 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.
