Keeley
Keeley sings Jade's parts in Little Mix. In the video, Keeley is seen performing funny dance moves representing her as a uplifting character. She portrays the part of the joker in the group who makes the others laugh and enjoy their time. The audience will look up to Keeley because she is represented as approachable through her jokes and dance moves. She is also shown to be a supportive friend as she helps Bryony forget her boyfriend has left by creating a music video for a few hours.
Tom
Tom plays the charcter of Bryony's boyfriend who is about to go to war. The narrative section is based around the idea of the couple on their last date before he leaves. Whilst he is gone, Bryony writes letters and keeps a diary for him to read when he gets home inspired by the song title 'Dear Lover.' We want to make him relatable to boys as well as girls as there are male fans of girl pop bands like Little Mix as well as female. To do this he will be dressed in clothes that most teenage boys would wear such as jeans and a jacket. We used a camouflague jacket to show in more deatil that he is about to leave for war.
Bryony
Bryony plays the part of Leigh- Anne in the band but also a part in the narrative of the girlfriend of the boy who goes to war. This would typically mean that she would be seen in the video more often than the other band members although this technique isn't used commonly in pop videos. However to create the desired effect we would have the band members solo parts consiting around mainly them so they can have equal air time. This would be useful as the audience relate to each meber differently for their qualities so having them equally shown would please everybody. Bryony is also represented as a little lost in the narrative section as her boyfriend has gone to war so she doesn't have much comfort. However this is replaced when she goes to make a music video with her friends and they make her feel alot better which demonstrates the idea of friendship in the video.
Jazz
Jazz sings Jesy's lines in the music video. As well as the others, Jazz also plays a carefree character who is cheerful and enerjetic shown through her dance moves and passion when singing. She is almost always seen grinning in the video making the audience want to feel happy too. She, including the rest of the band, are represented a fashionable through their choice of clothing which would appeal to many of the audience members as it would most likely be something female fans would wear, making them relatable. Furthermore, their choice of clothing establishes the idea that they are good role models as they are dressed repectively for the younger audience.
Sophie
Sophie sings Perrie's parts in the band. She is represented as the bubbly character as she is seen flicking her hair and making her friends laugh. She, as well as the other girls, are seen trying to cheer the other and member representing her as a friendly and warm character as she tries to make Bryony feel better about her boyfriend leaving for war. Sophie is also represented as the most radiant character in the band as she is the only one with dyed hair implying that she is adventurous and daring.
