Narrative structure- Rose
We have decided on the narrative for our music video. We would like the narrative for our music video to appear to be linear on the surface. However we would like to place some imagery in the video, during the editing process, to look as if it’s out of place and considered random by our audience. We are doing this to make it an abstract expression of the thoughts and feelings of our protagonist and show the audience his feelings throughout the video. Looking into it we decided we will make the narrative structure linear, with aspects of a montage, due to the out of place images representing the thoughts of our protagonist. Although upon considering this, we decided we will not cut away from the location itself at any point. We are doing it like this so that we can keep the atmosphere provided by our environment and keep the setting the same. The plot is just a movement from A to B which is the protagonist's journey through the maze-like abandoned police station, attempting to find his way out.

ReplyDeleteA useful post, though you may include flashbacks in your final cut, that is if you manage to get effective extra footage of Rose as I've advised. Therefore your structure becomes more complicated in that it is linear or is it? If you include images of Rose in any extra footage then this would suggest a linear narrative with flashbacks.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite tricky because one could read your music video as a montage of harrowing shots conjured from the mind of a prisoner, but edited in such a way as to offer a linear story.
Do try to reference media theory in a post such as this...for example any theories of media language or narrative. Look in your theory booklet for support.
