Star Image information.

Name: Ethan Brown

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Role: Singer and plays the role of the boy who is madly in love with the girl.

Costume: Changes from casual black jeans, T-shirt and trainers to suit trousers and shirt with nice shoes.

Props: Has some flowers at one point in the video

Why have we chosen him?

We chose Ethan to star in our music video as he has previously been in other A2 music videos so he has past experience. He was also a drama student so we know he will perform well, be confident and not shy away from the camera. I watched the music video he has starred in before and he was great at singing in to camera so this is the main reason we chose him to be our singer. He suits our genre as wears dark clothing and has facial hair which many star image males of our chosen genre also have.

Name: Charmaine Abotchy

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Role: Charmaine is the girl who is playing hard to get and is not interested in Ethan at all.

Costume: Black jeans and shirt, leather skirt and black jumper and coat

Props: Phone, Mirror

Why have we chosen her?

Charmaine was chosen as she is perfectly suited for our chosen genre. Her make up is exactly what I wanted and is associated with our chosen genre. She also has multiple piercings which again is perfect because that is what is very common with stars and fans of this genre. Like Ethan, Charmaine was also a drama student. She has not performed in music videos before however, I know her very well and I knew that her image along with her personality would look great on camera as she is very confident and follows instructions well.

Here are some pictures I took of our two star images;

Having Charmaine dress in this short leather skirt and tights gives her the voyeuristic look and she will be appealing to the male audience. This fits in with Laura Mulvey's theory about male gaze.
