Representation of People/Groups

As there is only going to be a couple of people in the music video, a male to sing and a female for the start there is only a few things we need to think about, and how to represent them. As we have a fairly young target audience aged around 15-25 we would like to have some uses and gratifications such as identification, social interaction and entertainment through watching the video but to also go against stereotypes of young people wearing hoodies and that they are disrespectful towards others.

in regards to the costume they would be wearing we would have to portray a positive image, and have a smart casual outfit, maybe dark or light coloured to go with the nature of the song as its genre is Rock. Having them dressed this way portrays them as respectable to the audience which possibly would identify with them, especially since they would be a similar age.

Although they may be dressed respectable, the characters may be presented negatively in some instances such as when he may be drunk or when he smokes but this is due to his depressive state he is in for a reason. this portrays realism as a relationship has many highs and lows, but this focuses mainly on the lows and the hard times and again the audience would be able to relate to this.
