PICTURES OF OUR ACTORS AND PERFORMERS

AND THEIR ASSIGNED ROLES

Actors for the narrative element

Umair

Role- boyfriend

We decided Umair should be the antagonist of our music video as he is considerably tall and muscular. Therefore, he would easily be portrayed as the dominant force in the relationship. In addition to this, Umair does not fit the stereotypical image of any member of our target audience so we would not find ourselves impersonating or offending anyone.

Veena

Role- girlfriend

Whereas, Umair is tall and muscular, Veena is more of a diminutive figure so she would be seen as the vulnerable character in our music video. To help establish this, a series of high angle shots would be shown to emphasise her innocence. Furthermore, she fits our criteria because she is part of our target audience, therefore, she would be easy to relate to. Although Umair does not necessarily fit the indie genre, Veena does with her long hair, so typical of what the females possess when they listen to this genre of music.

Performers for our narrative element

Anthony

Role- Lead Singer

We opted for, or rather Anthony volunteered, to be our lead singer of the band because he fits the convention of an indie band because of his age and stereotypical haircut, so it would be easy for the audience to relate to. He is also a more-than--able player of the guitar making a music video look much more professional as he will be singing whilst playing the instrument.

James

Role- Drummer

The reason why we decided James would be our drummer is because is plays the drums regularly, therefore, our music video would look more professional with him playing the drums in time with the best of the song. Furthermore he also looks indie, and as result of this, would appeal to our target audience.

Eric

Role- Guitarist

We included Erick in our band because he could actually play the guitar, therefore, making are music video as realistic as possible. In addition to this, his age enable our target audience to relate to him spontaneously, especially with the 'indie' clothes he will be wearing in the music video.

Laurence

Role- Guitarist

Just as all the other members of our band, Laurence is an able player of the guitar, thus making our final product as authentic as possible. Laurence also possesses the stereotypical indie haircut, similar to Anthony, our lead singer. This in turn means, he would be easily identified by the audience as a member of the Indie genre.
