Male Lead

Our male lead is the typical bad boy type that the female
encounters in the indie genre. He is attractive, tall, and always
seen wearing dark (mostly black) clothing, which is significant as
the colour black connotes power, authority and fear. This links to
the characters personality - he is controlling, abusive and in the
eyes of the female his temporary kindness overrules the darkness
that resides within him.
He is also often seen drinking until he has reached a point where
he doesnt know what hes doing and appears powerless, but still
managing to play his cards well through emotionally blackmailing
the female into forgiving him with his seemingly-innocent state.
Alcohol is often associated with addiction and, in extreme cases,
any kind of abuse.
Despite all of this he appears to be a good, loyal friend, although
he has trouble managing his time equally between his love life and
his social life, and clearly does not like to mix the two as he is often
seen either picking one or the other, not caring who might get hurt
in the process. This is also seen briefly where he refuses to dance
with the supporting female, but later complies, which suggests that
he had no intention of taking the relationship between them any
further and merely
saw her as a friend; this further emphasises the fact that he does
not mix his love life with his social life.
Female Lead
The female lead is often seen smiling, already showing her to be a
happy-go-lucky individual, however despite this she is often seen
sitting or standing by herself or at a slight distance from the other
characters in the video. This shows that she is introverted and
while she likes making friends, she would rather spend time with
the male lead, causing some turbulence between them as they
share completely opposite views on this specific topic. Due to her
colourful clothing, it is understood that she is a light person on the
inside as opposed to her significant other, who is dark. A colour
she wears a lot in the video is red, which connotes desire, passion
and love, showing her devotion to him while other colours such as
blue suggest that she is loyal, soft and understanding, which we
also see in the video when she does not confront him about the
fact
that he is refusing to spend any time with her. At the party where
she is

seen to wear a black and white dress, the connotations are very
different to the black that the male lead wears, suggesting that she
is elegant, while the white shows her to be pure and innocent; her
personality contrasts very well with that of the male lead, as they
are polar opposites. The way that she suddenly engages in
conversation with the supporting male shows her loneliness and
sadness at having nobody to interact with.
Supporting Male
From what is seen of the male and the way that he looks at the
female lead it is clear that he feels some sort of attraction towards
her, further emphasised by him pursuing her when he notices that
the male lead has abandoned her. While his intentions appear to
be good, there is an underlying slyness to the whole situation and
his approach to comforting her when she is upset. He is the typical
hero of the story, jumping to her rescue to show that he is the
good guy who wants her to be happy and will protect her;
however that backfires when the male lead strikes him. As a result
of this, he is revealed to be a weak and fearful character compared
to the other characters.
Supporting Female
The supporting female is seen as an independent woman who
knows what she wants, shown where she is revealed to be the
sole host of the party, and also highlighted when she approaches
the male lead without any encouraging. Making the first move is
typically considered a mans job, which makes her seem strong,
powerful and in control of herself, unlike the female lead. Her
clothing, which is (sensibly) tight and partly revealing shows that
she is confident in herself and her body.
However, aside from the positive aspects of her personality, she
also seems to be a bad friend due to the fact that as soon as the
female lead rejects her, she slides over to the male lead and
attempts to flirt and dance with him, knowing that his girlfriendcan
see it happening.
