Audience profile

Moodboard

The post below shows my mood board I designed and created on thing-link. My mood board gives us a short insight of my music video about the different scenes that will be involve in my music video such as the lanterns scene, burning scene, argument scene smoking scene and dance scene. Adding to this I believe my mood board reflects to the theme of my music video; a destructive relationship and the possible locations such as the open field, drama room and dance studio.

Final song and lyrics

Flies turn to flames
When heart start to chase
You'll fall if you run right into the smoke
The lights start to deem when it's almost enough
But flames light this place

Fireflies tonight
'Cause love lights the sky
Hey yeah

So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air
So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air

Baby, tell me right that you share
That's the loving put it in the atmosphere
If you want you put more
Living in the air
Just keep your attention so the clouds go nowhere
Just please light this place, oh oh oh oh

Fireflies tonight
'Cause love lights the sky
(Hey yeah)

So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air
So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air

Let it burn, burn
Let it burn, burn
Let it burn, burn
Let it burn, burn

Fireflies tonight

'Cause love lights the sky

So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air
So put it up in, put it up in the air
Put it up in, put it up in the air

This post is of my final chosen song's lyrics and music video. During the evaluation of our three potential songs, as a group we drew to the conclusion that Fireflies by Zendaya was the best choice for our music video. This is because we could instantly come up with ideas for a concept base video as well as a narrative base video.

Representation Essay

Representation analysis

Narrative essay

I will be analysing ‘If I was a boy’ by Beyoncé which is based on a narrative. The main artist’s role is of protagonist, who portrays subjective character identifies in the narrative, as shown in the music video Beyoncé plays the characters of a woman and a man in a damage relationship giving a range of view points from both characters in their broken relationship. The music video ‘If I was a boy’ by Beyoncé does not apply Todorov’s narrative model as shown in the music video it lacks of the four stages: equilibrium, disruption, resolution and new equilibrium.

The posts above shows my analysis on my selected music video 'If I were a boy'. I have used Scribd and Thinglink to present my analysis.
