Characters and Casting

Name: Simon
Male, Young adult (17-20)
Role: Protagonist, the one influenced by the two tempters.
About: Video centers around him and his nightlife and what he does.

Possible cast:
James, Male, 18
Why? He is familiar with nightlife and also looks quite 'street', which would appeal to the video idea we have in mind.








 


Josh, Male, 17
Why? He can look both working and upper class, and also has a certain 'nerdy' look that we are thinking about (the idea of a person who is a so called nerd being turned into a 'badass').










Characters and Actors:
Main character 'victim' - A young man aged 17-20 who has been approached by two unknown figures wearing masks who attempt to corrupt him through the temptation of drugs and alcohol, this is stereotypically known as the working class way of life. The idea we have thought up strongly reminds me of the story of Dorian Grey.

Lewis Hodson and Jamie Kirman - The 'tempters' in the video, the two unknown masked persons and the secondary main characters, they cause the protagonist to feel a disturbance of his nightlife as he is the only one who can see them and at first he attempts to resist them, but near the end he gives in to the two tempters and becomes corrupted. The two tempters are the extremes of Western society, one being the working class or 'proletariat', (drugs, alcohol and mugging...) whilst the other is the 'elite' class, the rich and the powerful. We are also the two people who are going to lip sync at certain times in the video.

Background 'Friends' - A group of people who act as friends who are acquaintances of the protagonist, they represent typical modern youth, all about having a good time, relaxed and drinking.
