Frankenstein’s Monster
- Frankenstein’s Monster is represented as having many different emotions throughout the course of the music video. He seems to start off as a scary character as he sits up in a robotic kind of way and pushes Frankenstein. This shows the audience the dangerous side of Frankenstein’s Monster. However when we are first introduced to the character he is seen as being quite vulnerable as Frankenstein leans over him in a dominant position. Another side that we see to the character is happiness or eagerness when he is trying to impress the female character. This is the representation that challenges the stereotype of the monster. Lastly we see sadness which again challenges the stereotypical view that is often shown as this shows the audience that the character of Frankenstein’s Monsters has human emotions. This shows overall that Frankenstein’s Monster has four different emotions as the music video that we have created progresses and they are Scary, Vulnerable, Happy and Sad.
- The character of Frankenstein is represented as being the traditional baddy in this music video. Although this isn’t really warranted the audience get this perception because of the start of the music video. The shot of Frankenstein in the castle showed him as a scary figure. This representation is also helped by the fact that he is holding the monster against his will in the castle at the start. In all films and television programs the stereotypical baddy always gets their comeuppance and in this music video it is know different with Frankenstein eventually being killed although the audience are unaware of who the murderer is at the end of the video.
Female Character
- Like The Monster, the female character is represented as having different emotions throughout the music video. She seems to start of happy when she is picking oranges in the garden. At this point in the narrative she is represented as being kind, bright and an overall happy person. However this changes the first time she see Frankenstein’s monster as her facial expressions reveal to the audience that she does not like what she sees as she is quite a shallow person. However this changes again as she gets to know the monster and her beautiful, bright personality that was shown to the audience when she was first introduced comes out.
