Actor Profiles

Here is a picture of the actor I will use in my music video. As you can see, she is a young, fashionable girl. She is part of the target audience of our text, and we thought that it would be a good idea to have the lead singer of the song within the same group as the target audience. This will help and encourage the target audience to engage in the text and want to watch it as the artist is similar to them. The type of clothes that the actor wears is mainstream fashion which is the type of style that would be expected to be worn in a pop music video. The style is also similar to what the target audience would wear, which will also help them to relate to the music video.

As I am working in a pair to create the music video, this actor is actually the other person in my group. We thought that by using her in our text would be more practical as the location that we want to film in, is in a place that we will need to travel too which would limit the amount of people that could be in the video. As she has been involved in the development of our idea and concept of the music video, by using her as our actor, she will understand exactly how we both want the shots to look.

There are only going to be two actors in our music video: The lead singer, and the ex-boyfriend. The actor that we will use as the ex boyfriend, is a good looking, fashionable young guy. This fits to the typical conventions of a music video, the textual analysis I did on Eliza Doolittle - Rollerblades had a good looking tanned young guy as the boyfriend. The actor also is within the same age range as the target audience, which will again help them to relate to our music video.
