Narrative
I think that the structure of my narrative will be fragmented. I am going to film my video at Hylton castle, in the forest near by and the pond which is also surrounded by forest. The lyrics talk about admiring her hometown which could link to Anthony Goodwin's theory that music videos make links between the lyrics and the visuals. Goodwin suggested that lyrics will make constant reference to the visuals on screen and the visuals will reinforce what the lyrics say. My music video supports this as theory as I am basing my narrative on the lyrics and what they mean and what they say. Todorov's idea that narratives have an equilibrium and a disequilibrium but the new equilibrium doesn't apply to my coursework wont have such a strong story, there is no resolution to be found and there wont be a disruption to overcome. Barthes idea of the Hermenuetic Code which refer to the element of a story which is not fully explained in order to build intrigue because audience will begin to question.
Genre
The genre of my music video will be Indie/Alternative.
Setting
The setting will mainly be in a forest. I am lucky to live a five minute walk from a forested area so it is easily accessible This means that I can make the visuals with me living so close to the forest. This fits in with Saussure's theory that meaning can be relational - although the filming would be done in a forest you will only see trees and audience will build suspensions of the surrounding area.
Props
The only prop within my music video is a cigarette in which the actress smokes, this is to replicate her withdrawal issues she suffers with from her hometown.
