Frank Ocean is a black singer.
I couldn’t find a black actor who had a similar vibe, so I chose one of my friends (Ben) who likes listening to his music. His fashion sense isn’t really similar to Frank Ocean’s, so I made him wear a basic outfit (plain white t-shirt and jeans).
I’m therefore focusing on representing Frank Ocean’s style, genre and age rather than his ethnicity.
I’m representing young adults / teenagers (my actor is 18 years old) who are into indie music and hip hop. I’m representing both genres as I am also using a female actress as a secondary character. By using baggy clothes (jeans and t-shirts) which are currently trendy, I’m depicting them as cool characters who the audience would want to be like, or be friends with.
