Character Designs

When planning the personas of our characters we took to a manga character designer to create cartoon of what we would like our characters to be like. The two main male protagonists in particular were planned precisely so that they would emit the 'geeky' stereotype; as well as this, they have an opposing character to show how they believe they look. Also, the female cartoon represents the latter of girls present at the party as there will be several.


Character 1- Male #1

Reality:

Fantasy: 

Male #1 is one of our music videos main protagonists, similar to Male#2 he is trapped in a fantasy where he oozes confidence and is a real ladies man. However, the audience will be able to notice that in reality he is a clueless, stereotypical 'nerd', who regularly fails at both his social and romantic conquests. Unlike Male#2 however, he can be seen as the more authoritative figure having to mime more lines towards the camera. Significant character  traits include a cap, bow tie and checkered shorts. - He will be miming the parts of Rizzle Kicks member 'Rizzle'

Character 2- Male #2

Reality:

Fantasy:

Our second male protagonist Male#2 is the other character trapped within a fantasy of sexual confidence. He is more of the henchmen of the pair, being Male#1's second in command. His outfit consists of sunglasses over regular glasses, a cartoon t shirt (which is tucked into jeans) and a mismatched tie. As well as this, Male#2 is the more promiscuous of the two, attempting to chat up ladies with his frankly cringeworthy dance moves. His miming segments will be that of Rizzle Kicks member 'Sylvester'.


Character 3- General Partygoers

This anime character represents the latter of female party goers who display both shocked and disgusted attitudes towards the male protagonists cringeworthy behaviour. All female characters reject the prowess of the two main characters, the music video concluding with them being thrown out of the building.
