Character Profiles

Character profiles

Male - The victim of the love story. The male is the character that is madly in love and wants to marry the girl he loves. This is what the narrative is all about through the video.

Narrative

Music Video by davidaron0212 on GoAnimate

Bordwell and Thompson



Recycled Styles



Oasis - The importance of being idle

This was a copy of the style of the film - Saturday night and Sunday morning (1960) by Karel Reisz

Oasis was creating the first Britsh social realism video which was about showing the higher class as comedic or not. They tried to show the movement realistically. In the film it copied the classes was clearly shown.

working = bicycle
higher = motorbike

Surface with substance = Looks good but means little

Andrew Goodwin (1992)

Narratives relations are highly complex and meaning can be created from the individual audio-viewers personal musical taste to sophicated intertexually that use multidiscursive phenomena of Western culture.

Videos are different for every person because of their backgrounds, sexuality, gender etc.

Pastiche = copying

Narrative Change and Locations, Costumes etc.

The start of the video is the ending of the video and this will be repeated throughout the video as flashback/premonitions for the main female. The main man is wanting to propose to the woman and intends to ask her at her work. As we see the woman on her way to work we start to understand that she is having an affair with another man. We see this unfold throughout the video. At the same time we see the main man getting ready to propose. When he gets to her work she isnt there so he goes to where he was told she went and sees her kissing another man. He walks out holding the ring and doesnt see or hear the car that is coming and it hits him. The female hears this and runs out to see what it was and she sees her boyfriend lying dead on the floor. She then sees the ring.

Treatment

The narrative will crosscut with performing.one performer lip syncs.  Three narrative performers. Bright lighting, mostly outdoors. Costumes will change throughout. Wings, St Stephens, Queens Gardens, The BBC and a house are my locations. The end will be the beginning. The narrative will be mostly slow motion.
