Characters within the music video

These are my initial ideas for the characters which shall be involved in the music video.

1. The performer - He will be portrayed as a rouged individual - a change from my original idea, but will be in bright clothing. He is having trouble with life and we as the audience explores how a game of poker (Living the high life) compares to isolation and disparity. We see his journey from showing him in a game, to being on the streets - The concept that he does not have a lot of time. In the end, we see him walk off into the distance.

• The poker players - These characters do not speak, but are menacing and can be seen as the antagonist to the performer. The low shots shall be used to show that these people are higher and subsequently more powerful. They will be some, but not all of the scenes. They shall only be present in the studio which will represent a dark room with minimal lighting, gambling for money.

These are my character concepts and will be used throughout. The poker players will be portrayed by several extras who are willing to play these parts.
 I also hope that these characters relate to my audience (users and gratification theory) so that they enjoy the video.
