Do you think the characters are portrayed well?
1 I think the lead singer's character was portrayed well as the character is strong and independent, which is similar to the singer's personality
2 I think both of the female characters were portrayed well because you have a clash of personalities that links back to rock music which has the 'I don't care what anyone else thinks' flare to it.
3 I think that the lead singer's character was portrayed well but not as well as she could be. She's not in much of the narrative.
4 I think that the leader singer's character contrasts well against the other female character, visually, she has a lot more attitude, and she comes across strong, like her music.
5 I think that the female character that gets found out is portrayed as a stereotype, and I don't think that's very good.
