Character list:

As a group, we have taken out several auditions in order to decide who will be part of our

music video. As part of our narrative, we needed a teenage girl to be the main character,

with the skills of dancing ballet as well as acting professionally.

Main Character- Yasmine Leblebici

Our main character who we have chosen to act in our music video is a 17 year old girl

named Yasmine Leblebici. Due to the fact that she is under age, we sent a formal letter of

consent to her mother in order for her to sign it. Throughout our music video, there will be

shots of Yasmine auditioning for a ballet show, as well as shots of what her life is really like,

depicting to the audience her drug and alcohol abuse. In the scenes in the dance studio,

Yasmine will be wearing a purple ballet outfit and ballet shoes (pointe) which is vital to carry

out the dances. After auditioning several ballerina’s, we thought that Yasmine was the most

professional and appropriate for the music video as we feel that our target audience would

be able to familiarise themselves with her. She has long brunet hair which will be tied up to

emphasise on the fact that she is a ballerina.

However, in the other scenes where she will be consuming drugs, she will be dressed in a

trashy outfit to highlight her feelings and the state of her. In addition, her hair will be messy

and we will do her makeup in a messy way to emphasise on the fact that she will be crying,

as well as the fact that she is messed up due to the drugs.

Character 2- Emmanuel Kelly

Emmanuel Kelly is a member of a group and helped us out by acting in our music video as a

judge for Yasmines audition. By doing so, we was able to save much more time as we

focused more on directing the music video as a group rather than auditioning and casting

actors for such a small role. The audience will not be able to see Emmanuel’s face in this

music video as we wanted to add a sense of mystery within the music video. By doing so, we

are highlighting the fact that although Yasmine is dancing in front of him, he is blurry to her

due to the use of drugs. Emmanuel will be wearing black formal trousers and a checkered

shirt which is a common outfit for a judge in a talent show to wear.

Character 3 – Karolina

Karolina will act out a small part in our music video in which she will be portrayed as a

‘mean girl’ that is competing against the protagonist, Yasmine. Karolina has long blond hair,

slim figure and is dressed in ripped jeans with a lot of makeup. The reason for this is to make

her seem like a quintessential teenager that is represented within many music videos.
