2. MAIN CHARACTER
The main character in our music video is a teenage boy who attends school and
hates every moment of it. He is dressed as the geeky type, wearing glasses, a shirt,
high trousers, a bow tie ect. This is an obvious stereotype of a boy who isn’t socially
accepted in schools and is normally taunted or picked on because of how they
dress.
We have challenged this stereotype as he might look all nerdy and intelligent but
the whole idea of our music video is him wanting to get away and being bored of
school and everything that is taught. He finds most things highly boring and
uninteresting which wouldn’t fit the description of a geeky looking boy.
3. MAIN CHARACTER
During our music video we want the main character to react badly to the situation of
being so bored in school that he freaks out and leaves as he can’t handle it anymore. He
runs out of the class which seems like something a geek/nerd would do if they loved
school, in which his case he doesn’t.
People who watch the music video from all ages might be able to relate with how he
is feeling, how fed up of work/school he is and how much he hates having to pretend to
enjoy something. This representation would appeal to our audience and promote the artist
in the way that they can see that could of happened to him and now he’s free and he’s
making music. He’s doing something that is making him happy and doing what he always
wanted to do in the first place.
4. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
There are different views on whether being represented and
stereotyped as a geek is positive or negative. Geeks can be seen as
positive without being shown the taunted and picked on site, they can
be discrete without the stereotypical clothing and glasses. It can be
seen as negative as they are seen as uncool and not socially acceptable
to society in some cases. Others see geeks as cool and trend setters
when it comes to fashion and accessories.
