The Boyfriend – Character Breakdown. A2

1. The Boyfriend – Character Breakdown.
The Boyfriend and The Woman become a couple somewhere in between The
Woman and The Rapper’s break-up and their next meeting. The
Boyfriend is the ideal representation of what the woman wants in her
relationship. He is loving, caring and very protective of her. He is
also the father of The Woman’s baby, but he loses The Woman to
childbirth complications.
The Boyfriend is a minor character and appears only towards the
final act.
Adjectives that describe his character
CLASSY. PROTECTIVE. LOVING. CARING. DEFENDING. STRONG.
Genre Research – How does this character link to the genre of rap?
The Boyfriend’s limited appearance gives him a limited connection to
the conventions of rap music.
Preliminary Clothing Style
I would like The Boyfriend to be wearing a suit. In the context of
the music video, the suit can represent trust and a quality life,
something that The Woman has with him and never had with The Rapper.
Clothing is the representation of The Woman’s life now – better and
of higher quality.
