Character profiles

We chose to create a profile for each of the main characters in our video to help us decide what kind of person we wanted to play the role of that character and what we'd be looking for in them.

Male
Being a character who went to house parties still but also has his own house and went to a pub for dinner we decided the most appropriate age for him would be around 19-25, attractive masculine features so the fact he was being fought over by girls made sense and of a low to medium class to match the sort of locations he would be placed in.
1st Female (Girlfriend)
Similarly to the male an appropriate age for her would be around 20 years old of the same social class. She would also be expected to be attractive but self centred by the way she chooses to solve the situation. She is also very controlling of the boyfriend and is desperate for his affection.
2nd Female (Girlfriend's Friend)
Again she will be around 20 years of age and will be equally attractive but more flirty and facetious, by the way she takes away her friend's boyfriend. However she will also act innocent to hide away her malicious personality.

Before attempting to cast the roles of the main characters in our video, in depth character profiles needed to be developed. This would enable us to explore the facets of our characters so that we can use people to play these characters who would be able to bring the different aspects of the characters to life. For example, we need to explore age, gender, social class, ethnicity and physical aspects such as height, hair colour etc.

Male
The male character in the video is a well dressed, attractive male who would appeal to the opposite sex. He would probably be in his late teens (18+) for he is still unmarried although currently in a relationship. He would own his own flat and have some expendable income in order to enjoy going out to pubs and restaurants. He would have a wide social circle and be invited to parties and social occasions. He would dress in smart casual clothes which women would find attractive. He would be average to above average height and would be quite vivacious outgoing in social situations. 



Girlfriend
Again in her late teens, she would be attractive, slim, with a good job which would enable her to afford to buy classy elegant clothes. She would be quite self assured and confident, and would believe that her boyfriend is totally in love with her. She might possibly getting to the age where she wishes to settle down in a committed relationship.
When she discovers he has been unfaithful, she is devastated but determined to get revenge and destroy him.




Second Girl
Around a similar age, she would be equally as attractive but not at the present time in a serious relationship. She has gone to the party with the intention of finding herself a boyfriend and is flirting with everyone in the room. She is outgoing and lively, and doesnt stop to consider anyone elses feelings.
