Pierre:
The character that he plays:
He is the main protagonist of our music video and is the character our target audience will see throughout the whole music video. He is portrayed as the person who comes from a deprived urban area where he lives on the streets. He is poor and wishes one day he will be rich, which one day his wish comes true by a winning lotto ticket given to him. He turns from rags to riches quickly and gets everything he's always sought after for. We do see a downfall where the money he has controls him and as a result loses it completely in the end, going back from riches to rags.
How he helped us:
Pierre is an 'A Level Drama' student that has exceptional acting skills. He is an actor that can act naturally to anything to the scenes that we asked him to act in. He is a talented young man in this area and this was the kind of actor we were looking for to make our music video stand out nicely towards our target audience. His great contribution brought us positive confidence when making the music video.
Poor and Deprived:
Rich and wealthy:
Ildiko:
The character she played:
She played as a golddigger towards the main protagonist. In other words she was the person that used our protagonist for money to have her advantage of the things she likes for herself. Her great force of manipulation and seductiveness towards the main character made him feel special and at the same time lured him into the things she wanted from him. Later on when he turns poor again, she drifts off and never sees him again.
Lovneesh:
The character he plays:
Lovneesh plays the character of being the friend of our main protagonist when he is rich. He is introduced into the scenes where the protagonist is trying to make some new friends in the streets of London.
How he helped us:
As you can see in the picture, he has a camera strapped around his neck. When our main camera ran out of battery, we were able to use his camera to continue filming our scenes. He was vital and needed in that situation when it occured because we were able to film more creative scenes and as a whole have more fun with experimenting with different camera techniques and shots when we were filming different scenes. He also helped in filming behind the scenes of the music video production.
Enoch (Me):
The character he played:
He played as a stranger who gave spare to the protagonist while the protagonist was beat boxing. He encouraged him to keep beat boxing hoping someday he will get out of deprivation.
How he helped the production of the music video:
He was the brains behind the ideas of what to do for the music video. He did research on the differences between the rich and poor in terms of assets (clothes, shoes etc), and with the information obtained from the research, he decided to implement those ideas into the music video production, therefore finding ways to make the ideas obtained unique and appeal to the teenage target audience. He was vital to the creavity of the music video while we were filming on the go and always introduced new ideas that made everyone who helped, something to think about.
