For our other character we have looked at different music videos that have a different style, story and character that contrast each other. After looking at the girls we wanted to find a boy story that complemented as well as contrasting the girls.
Justin Bieber's 'As Long as You Love Me' music video portrays that kind of character and a captivating story which resembles crime, love and coming of age all elements we wish to include.
The character portrayed in the music video is a young teenage boy who is in love with a girl who makes thinks dangerous for him. This character is seen as strong and sure of what he wants and that he'll do anything to get it.
The character clothes are casual yet fashionable. The character wears jeans, shirts and trainers giving a laidback attitude but he's clothes and jewellery show a vain element as he's trying to appear flash showing that he has money and does care about the way he looks.
The stand of between the two at the beginning show the young character to show his stubbornness about the situation. This leads us to believe he's not really understanding of how dangerous it is and is focusing on what he imagines in his head for the future. This is a characteristic that we could explore as the character neglects the facts and focuses on what he wants and won't stop till he gets it.
The character shows all different aspects of his personality; we see him as kind, gentle, loving but also strong and stubborn. The characterisation is a gritty portrayal of a boy and he's tragic forbidden love story that's a well loved aspect of romance to watch in films/music videos.
The two characters don't fit together as she's an innocent, pretty and sweet girl but has a very overprotective father where as he is seen to be seeking danger to keep the romance alive and would sacrifice anything for her. This sees the character mature and start to take responsibility and decisions for himself and seems him develop in to a man.
The presence of well know actor Michel Marsden portraying an over protective father gives the music video a crime element. Near the end the character gets brutally beaten and left bruised and alone. The crime and violent aspect is something we could include in our film trailer.
This is the music video we took inspiration and gifs from: Justin Bieber As Long as you Love Me
