Q1
This will be a film with me speaking over the top of my video & Digigpak with add in of other music videos and images which show where we got our ideas from. Points that I will cover will follow, There wont be script as I see that too structured but I will cover these points they may not be in this order.
Theorys
· Claude Levi-Strauss' theory of binary opposites is mildly applied to our video in regards to him looking back. The place he is in now is much happier ie. with his friends and band members, as opposed to his childhood which we see in the flashback scenes where he is seen to have unhappier times.
· Buildens roman and how we the characters journey throughout his life and we see him come to terms in the end of the video
· Vladimir Propp's theory of character roles also sort of applies to our video. The lead singer is the 'hero' in a sense as the story is based around him, whilst his band members are his 'helpers' as they give him a place of space and happiness where he can reflect and be himself. Whilst the parents are in some ways the 'villains' as they create a sense of unhappiness in the 'hero's' life.
· Tzvetan Todorov's theory that every story has an equilibrium that is disturbed and is then restored through a 3 part narrative structure. In our video the equilibrium will be him telling the story of his life, the disruption of the equilibrium will be when we see the flashbacks of him as a child when he is unhappy and the restoration of the equilibrium will be when we see him relax to the end.
Filming methods/inspiration
· Richard Ashcroft -This clip shows off well the idea of isolation and lonliness and this is something we want to portray in our video as it fits in well with the song we have chosen. We also like the aspect when he turns on the stereo and the song starts playing. We think this is a really effective use of the amplification/disjuncture genre as he is listening to the song that he has sung.
· The verve-This clip is taken from the very start of the video and we like the way that one main shot is used over this time period to introduce the character/singer. The camera moves seems to pan in time with the music and we get to see the singer from his feet and then we are eventually introduced to him and the environment he is in. The way in which this is shot helps to give an immediate understanding to the audience of the singer and perhaps what the story of th esong and video will be about.
· A team- Sheeran- We like how everything works together on this and how little details in the mise en scene make it look authentic and believable. For example, the girl has rips in her tights and the black and white mise en scene fits with her emotions.
· Jessie J-Room
· Forest- mythically Robin hood (place of safety because of peoples thoughts and suspicions)- safety for the character however it is also of danger as the past is stalking him (wolf & Robin hood) BOTH CHILDHOOD STORYS, THE BOY BELIEVES THEM ALSO. Ironic that he is chasing him without either of them realising.
Narrative
· Pink, painful childhood. How he has turned out now, he has become more than his dad ever was.
· Swings (Artic Monkey) something a child should enjoy- deserted play ground alone.
· Angel and devils- from the old myth.
Digi pack
· The Car’s Album.
· Alice in wonderland-Madhatter
· Winnie the Pooh
· Mumford and sons
· I saw that one of the band memebers from Mumford and sons takes phot's and shares them on their website with their fans to keep a specail connection with their fans, as i saw this. I know i have a collection of photos at home which could be used for something very simular so I thought I would share these with my Band's fans in a insert inside the Digipack, as they are an indie band they want top keep this unique look.
