Narrative analysis

We decided to use all different narrative structures in our music video as it would appeal more to our target audience as well as to examiner showing we have expanded our ideas and shown off what we can do with the conceptual and narrative aspects of the video.

We looked at different examples of performance included in music videos and how they work well included in them.we found that it helps to establish the artist and represent them well, showing them performance lets the audience see how they performer,dance etc.

Main narrative idea


The narrative that we thought of is similar to Taylor swift you belong with me video.It has her as a geek wanting to tell the boy she loves him however hes got a `popular' girlfriend who she cant compete with.Hes nice to her and they are Friends but he cant see what right in front of him,near the end of the video she transforms her self and tells him she loves him and they get together.

Our video will be similar in terms of the characters and structure of the narrative.However the male character will be the opposite being horrible to her and not noticing shes there, this will help us to use representation of stereotyping people form there looks.

We will make the video had a sense of comical elements e.g her dancing stupidly in her room, geeky clothes,falling over,clumsiness.We wont have alot of comedy as we will have numerous shots of her upset,trying out new looks but not working.

The most important shots will be the begging to get the audience into the character of the girl in the video till the end were she transforms herself into a new person.

Dance sequence



We decided to also include sequences in our video we had a look at videos included dance sequences and we notice mostly are done in a dance studio,made up set, or an outside location e.g street,house or club.

the examples we found that we lied and thought would suit our artist were livi frank now im that chick her movements suit the song well and are tite and specific to the lyrics we also looked at ciaras videos as she includes dance sequence's in most of her videos.

Her dance sequence are very structured and are always specific to the kind of song she does e.g a slow song the movements will be soft and close whereas in a upbeat song there will be more dancers and harsher movements.

The kind of dance style we would include would be structured however aspects of improvisation due to the song's rythynm and showing the dancers having a good time.

Performance



We will include performance elements in our music video as his helps to show off the artists and feature them in the video as much as they can e.g during narrative part dance and performance.

The more exposure int eh video the more likely the audience will pick up on the song.All these examples i have picked out are all very different genres of music however all embody the performance qualities e.g band being showed, microphones seeing ,stage set and backdrops.

We want to include this in our music video as we feel it will work well with the song and show the artist's performance skills. We are fortunate to have access too green screen,smoke and light machines as this means we will be able to shoot performance scenes and be able to attach any destination/location with the artist in it.
