Character Profiles

We have decided on having two possible fathers in our video and we now have the decision to make upon who we ask to play these roles. Since characters are vital for any soap we are going to attempt to portray the characters as clearly as possible, as the only dialogue is me talking to the screen, the two possible fathers are going to have to have their personality displayed through other mediums, largely their clothing and the setting in which we film them in. Here's who we chose:

Potential Father One:
Tom Darwin



Tom is to play the first potential father, possibly portraying a rougher character in contrast to father two. We are going to ask him to wear a hoody and film in a cheap looking location to convey to audiences through mise-en-scene his lower class background. Its going to be difficult in a 45 second advert but it is vital that character set up is achieved if our audience is going to be engaged.













Potential Father Two:

Simon Edie







Simon's character is going to be much more upper-class then Tom's. We have asked that he wears a
suit and am looking into possible restaurants that
we can film in to convey his wealth and our relationship compared to mine and Tom's.








Pregnant Character

Beckie Smith (Me!!)







I am going to play the role of the pregnant protagonist character in our video and also in our two ancillary task. I am going to have to wear two contrasting outfits in my scenes with the two boys to differentiate between the two characters. I am also going to have to less made-up during the scenes when I return, to convey my emotional distress at what I have to tell them.

I am happy to feature in our video as I can fully control the emotions that need to be conveyed!
