Representation

The character representation will allow the audience to have a better insight to what the character is like. For the music video to be conventional to its genre, the representation of the characters has to meet the aspects of the genre and the expectations of the audience.

In music videos the male character is either represented as the villain or the victim. In modern videos however female characters tend to now have a more explicit type of representation, or have a crazy type of personality, e.g. Miley Cyrus has the more sexual representation, whilst Nicki Minaj had the crazy type, but now she is having a sexual representation as well, for example her music video for 'Anaconda'.

In the past  Chris Brown and Rihanna have had a problematic history. A few years back he was put on probation for domestic violence towards Rihanna and she put up a restraining order against him.
But at the time of this video, which was after the altercation, they seem to be back together and due to all the media and possibly close friends telling them it's a bad idea they decided to create a song saying that their relationship is 'Nobody's Business'.

How I'm Going to Represent The Characters Despite Their Past

Character ID

Despite their past, I'm going to represent the female character as a stereotypical female who is in love and won't listen to anyone who doesn't approve of her and her boyfriend, even if it means losing some friends.

Character ID

The male character is going to be a hard headed character who has a more masculine type personality, but when it comes to his girlfriend, he has a soft spot and will do anything to make her happy and tries his best to think more of her rather than himself, even though he may be a bit to self involved, e.g. watching himself in the mirror.
