What actors I will use(breaking stereotypes)
By Lois Baker
I used Travin due to him having the same characteristics as my target audience (a male between the ages of 17 to 19).
Why did I pick this actor?
Due to my video covering the topic of domestic abuse as well as alcohol abuse the obvious selection would be to choose a female actor. However I wanted to challenge the stereotype as males in abusive relationships are not often portrayed in the media. By covering this it brings light to a subject that is important.
Breaking stereotypes
Whilst looking at other music videos I found very few that portrayed man showing emotion. This may be due to the stereotype that men are tough and shouldn’t show emotion. I hope to also challenge this in my music video.
Breaking stereotypes
I only wanted the focus to only be on one actor. I want the audience to focus of this actor so they can connect with him.
Why only one actor?
