A2 Music Video: Characters

From our planning and storyboarding we need a total of three characters and an extra.

Main Character, Man
We will leave the title of this character un-named because there is no dialogue involved and no need to use a name. He will be the main character on screen the majority of the time so it won't be complicated. We wanted the nature of the song to be reflected in the character: fast, upbeat and erratic. This is why we have planned lots of silly, fun events. And because we want personality to be reflected, a certain appearance is not essential except for the need to be male.

Wife
We have planned for this character to appear twice throughout the song. The actress must be female, again appearance is not essential. We will reflect the idea that she is a housewife through props and costume. The reason for wanting a wife is because we want to give the main character a little story, a wife and possibly a family behind him makes him more of a likable character. Also, the idea that he is a family man is strengthened by including her.

School Girl
We have planned a scene where the main character will push a school girl out of his way. This will not be in an aggressive way, it is more of the idea that he is so crazy and caught up in his day. A whirlwind if you like. This will hopefully add to the humour that our audience would like to see. Again, gender is the only preferred trait, and preferably a younger person. This makes the event a little more surprising than if he was to disrupt another man's journey.

Office Workers
One or two people are needed for this role. During the main character's guitar performance near the end, we have planned to have office workers respond to the scene. They may enter the room excited or dance along. This has not yet been decided, it is only a small part.
