Evaluation Question 1

2. PROPS
• IN POP MUSIC VIDEOS, WITH A ROMANTIC NARRATIVE, THERE WILL BE PROPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIP. THIS IS TO LET THE AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS BASED AROUND A COUPLE PROGRESSING
THROUGHOUT MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS. ONE MAIN PART OF THIS WAS THE SCENES ABOUT WHERE THEY FIRST MET IN
THE COFFEE SHOP AND THEY WERE TALKING AND FINDING OUT ABOUT EACH OTHER . WE USED THIS STEREOTYPE IN OUR
VIDEO SO IT SHOWS THEIR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP TO THE AUDIENCE AND TO DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THEM.
A music video that is similar to this is Michael Bubles Music video for his song
"Haven't met you yet" where they have a coffee on top of the refrigerators and they
use similar props between both our video and Michael Bubles video. For example, The
use of the coffee cups within outs and theirs . However, we have a lot of differences
between both music videos. Such as a calendar to show the progression of the
relationship, The use of any romantic props isn't as strong in Michael Bubles video
compared to ours however they use confetti, supermarket goods and trollies.
However, they also look into a similar bed scene where they're shown on a bed
hugging.

3. CHARACTERS• IT IS OFTEN THE CASE THAT IN POP MUSIC VIDEOS RELATED TO ROMANCE IT WILL ONLY BE
FOCUSED ON TWO PEOPLE SO THIS WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT IT IS
BETWEEN THEM AND NO ONE ELSE AND HAVING IT ONLY FOCUSED ON THEM SHOWS HOW CLOSE
THEIR BOND WITH EACH OTHER GOES. HOWEVER, WE DID HAVE A FEW SCENES WHERE IT HAD
MORE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO TO SHOW THEIR SOCIAL LIFE WITH FRIENDS AS WELL AS THEM
BEING TOGETHER. WE DID THIS TO CHALLENGE THE COMMON STEREOTYPE OF COUPLES NOT
BEING SOCIABLE WITH PEOPLE AND THEY ALWAYS DO THINGS WITH EACH OTHER.
An example of this is Nick Jonas’s song “Close” Where it is Him (Nick Jonas) And Tove Lo in
an empty air carrier which can show their affection for each other. And the use of special
effects in the music video of their clothes disintegrating shows How their development as
characters grows into a sexual relationship with each other. With ours, mostly being in a
relationship that shows them doing things with each-other. However, with our relationship
it shows their bond getting stronger over time with inside jokes being used in different
parts of the video. Whereas in Nick Jonas’s video it shows their relationship growing in a
sexual manor.

4. COMPOSITION
• POP MUSIC VIDEOS OFTEN HAVE THE ACTORS CENTRAL IN THE FRAME OF THE SHOT WHEN IT COMES
TO A NARRATIVE ABOUT ROMANCE, THIS IS SO THE AUDIENCE HAS FOCUS ON THE ARTIST ALONG
WITH THE USP OF THE ARTIST WHICH CAN BE ON THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COSTUME FOR OUR BASE
TRACKS ARE THE USP FOR OUR ARTIST. AND THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEY'RE A KEY PART OF THE
NARRATIVE. THIS IS WHEN WE WOULD HAVE BOTH CHARACTERS CENTER FRAME OR ONE OF THEM IN
THE CENTER IF IT WAS JUST A SHOT OF THEM. HOWEVER, WE CHALLENGED THIS WITHIN OUR MUSIC
VIDEO IN CERTAIN SHOTS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEW YEARS SCENE WHERE IT WAS SHOWN FOR THEM
TO BE SOCIABLE AND BE SPREAD OUT WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
For example, Afterglow by Wilkinson shows small clips of the couple either together
in the shot or the actor or actress is central in the framing. We did a similar thing
with our composition in certain scenes, like when they meet up and the base tracks
josh is cantered in the middle of the frame. However, In the music video of afterglow,
They never show the actors or actresses off center like we do for example in the new
years party, When they're in the coffee shop and
