music video

         

This is the final product.

My music video was success and unsuccessful in many ways. The first being through the narrative. The narrative was one of the parts I was most proud of as I believe it was well thought out, it followed a simple but effective structure, and had a powerful meaning behind it. The narrative follows the story of a young boy who has just broken up with his partner to then kill her, her new partner, then himself. Through the story we see a theme of self destruction, and whilst it may only be short we feel somewhat sorry for the main character. The storyline is not only presented in the narrative but only in the footage of the band as its told from their body language including no eye contact, physical distance from each other and no physical contact in which we see in most music videos, and anger. 

These themes are emphasised to a greater degree with the colour schemes. For example the use of red whenever the main singer is angry to add to the effect of the lyrics. This allows the audience to understand on a deeper level the meaning of the song we are trying to interpret but also the emotion behind it.
