1. Why did I choose the narrative that I did?
In thisblogpost,I will be givingthe reasonswhyIdecidedtochoose the narrative formymusic
videothatI did. I will be talkingaboutpreviousnarrativesthatIthoughtwouldbe suitable forthe
musicvideoandwhyI decidedinthe endnotto go throughwiththem.
Narrative of space and dreaming
The reason,whyin the endI decidedtogowiththe narrative of the artistdreamingof childhoodand
space,isbecause itwas not a conventional narrative.Inthe majorityof musicvideosthereare no
such narrativesinwhichthere isa linkbetweenchildhoodspace anddreaming.Asaresultof thisI
decidedthathavinga narrative like this,Iwill be goingagainstthe conventionsof normal music
videos.Ipersonallybelieve asaresultof this,I will intrigue mytargetaudienceintowatchingthe
musicvideo.
AnotherreasonwhyIdecidedtouse thisparticularnarrative isbecause Ihad the personal that
wouldmake the filmingeasier.Havingmylittle brotherasacast membermade the conveyingthe
ideaof childishnesseasier.Alsousingmoderntechnologytocreate agreenscreenmade conveying
the theme of space easier.These where majorreasonswhyIdecidedtouse the narrative of space,
dreamingandchildishnessinmymusicvideo.
Boy dreamingof girl or vice versanarrative
Thiswas my firstoriginal ideathatIhad before Idecidedtogofor my final narrative idea. Iwas
originallygoingtouse thisideaformynarrative because itwasone of the mainthemesevidentin
musicvideos.Anexampleof twopopularmusicvideosinwhichthisevidentisNelly“Justadream”
and JamesBay “You’re beautiful”.The reasonwhyIdecidedtogo againstthe ideaof usingthis
narrative forthe musicvideoisbecause Ibelievedthatitwouldbe hardto coveythis via the lyrics
evidentinthe song.
AnotherreasonwhyIdecidedtogo againstthe use of thisparticularnarrative isbecause Ibelieved
that itwouldbe hard to cast a girl andboy too playthese roleswithinthe musicvideo.
Worldendingnarrative
The worldendingwasone of the narrativesthatI playedwithincorporatingintomymusicvideo.
Out of all the narrativesIthoughtof thiswas my favourite.The reasonwhyIdecidedtogoagainst
thisparticularideawasbecause I believedthatthe technologythatwasevidentatmydisposal
wouldnotallowme to portraythe worldendingthe wayI wouldwantit.
AnotherreasonwhyIdecidedtonot use thisparticularnarrative isbecause the editingsoftware
that I wouldbe using“Final CutPro” doesnothave featuresthatcan enhance the footage thatI
filmedviaCGI.Asa resultof this,I concludedthatitwouldbe a strong possibilitythatthe music
videowouldlookunrealisticandwouldnotappeal tothe targetaudience.

2. If I hadeverythingthatIneededtouse anynarrative inmy musicvideowhichone wouldIuse?
If I hadall the technologythatIwouldneedtocreate a musicvideoof my choice withthe narrative
of mychoice,I wouldchoose the endof the worldnarrative.The reasonwhyIwouldchoose this
particularnarrative,isbecause the conflictingthemesof the lyricsof the songand the visualsseen
wouldintrigue the targetaudienceandwouldalsoallow the audience interpretthe lyricsof the
musicvideodifferently.
