Stubborn Love - The Lumineers
This is my favourite music video. I love the simplicity, narrative and how beautifully they have managed to portray the story. Again the band/singer is not featured they are only shown for about five seconds as the people they're driving past. This allows us to see it as a story rather than some sort of performance based video. It is nice to see something so heartbreaking shown through a child's eyes, it gives us a completely different perspective on the situation. During the car ride, she is watching her parents failed marriage, each scene shown outside the car represents a stage that happened in their life. The car crash is the end and she pulls the wedding band from her Mum's finger setting her free. After she winds down the widnow, the happiness pours out of her, it is such a prominent part of the song and it is edited and shot impeccably well.

Textual Analysis - Toxic by Britney Spears

Toxic – Britney Spears Music Video Analysis The chorus lyrics of the song come from the other person’s perspective, in this case, it is the male(s) in the video. They’re essentially saying that Spears herself is toxic as seen in the video, however, it could also be taken the opposite way saying how Spears is killing the ‘toxic’ men. The line ‘Don’t you know that you're toxic?’ again could come from someone else’s point of view aimed at Spears but then could be seen as a rhetorical question or said by Spears herself to the male characters. The first line of the chorus ends by saying ‘I’m on a ride’ this links with the idea of the aeroplane, you ride an aeroplane. The lyric is linked with the video content. The entirety of the lyrics, however, could be taken in a completely different way and be a metaphor for the media. This song could be seen as a cry for help before her breakdown had fully developed. The media are toxic to those within the public eye, celebrities are highl...

Intended Institution Analysis

Intended Institution Analysis Here is a Prezi I made including the institutions I think would publish my video. https://prezi.com/view/treUqiiORKPpfYaD0LQU/ As the genre of my video is alternative and rock, I think my video is more likely to be played on MTV Rocks or MTV Classics. These would be best suited to my video due to the fact that the target audience of my video will be watching these shows. These channels are more catered to the genre of my video. The TV schedule for MTV Rocks on December 6th 2017 As you can see, there are multiple different programs that Kings Of Leon and their songs could fit into. They could be included in 'Greatest Rock Videos of the century' as well as 'Rock Solid Playlist.' They may also do some sort of feature on the band as the ones mentioned in this schedule are ones of the same caliber.  The radio stations that may be more likely to play my music video are Magic/Magic Chilled or Heart. My parents listen to Magic Chilled...

Storyboards

Storyboards Original Timeline/Storyboard: Below is the original storyboard which was created on the day of shooting. We wrote this down to help us decided what scenes we were going to film and when. We ticked off the scenes as we went through and we still had a few scenes we weren't sure about/what to place at certain points. This piece of paper was really just an hour of us jotting down loads of different ideas and checking which ones we liked/worked best. We chose to cut up the timeline into different sections talking about the different sections, we wanted to be as exact as we could. Different Scene Storyboard: Next I did a simple storyboard just showing the different scenes I would be having throughout the video. Obviously this was done before the ending so not everything in the final product is shown here. I have included the main lip-synching parts however some of the orders of shots have changed. I made sure to include a variety of shots to make the video interest...
