The Woman – Character Breakdown. A2.

1. The Woman – Character Breakdown.
The Woman (also known as ‘The Girlfriend’) is the central ‘plot
device’ of this music video. She is portrayed as the victim
throughout the music video, often being the causality of The
Rapper’s anger, and the cause of his depression/suicide, when she
chooses her new boyfriend over The Rapper. She’s fragile, ridiculed,
but just wants to be loved, more than anything, without feeling
fear. She dies in child birth and ultimately rekindles her romance
with the rapper in the afterlife.
Adjectives that describe his character
EMOTIVE. LOVING. FEAR. HOPEFUL. ANGER. PASSIONATE. DESPERATE.
COMMITTED.
Genre Research – How does this character link to the genre of rap?
The Woman’s character has the function of a plot device. She is
there to show The Rapper when he is a lovely man and to show when he
could sorrowful and angry. She is like the puppeteer of the Rappers
emotion. And that is what links her to rap. Rap is about expressing
emotion and the woman’s function is extract these emotions from The
Rapper. It is her that brings out the best and the worst of him, and
I want to shape this music video, as if the entire ‘Space Bound’
song was written by the rapper for her.
Preliminary Clothing Style
The Woman’s clothing will be simple, clothes that are affiliated
with everyday life. Nothing glamorous or revealing, as I would the
audience to focus on her struggle rather than for sexual appeal or
glamourous views, as woman are often portrayed as.
