The document discusses the creation of a music video for the song "Sleepless Nights". Some key points: 1) The video uses aspects of voyeurism by observing the main character without their knowledge and follows them through various locations over the course of a sleepless night. 2) Shots are cut to the beat of the music and the tempo of certain parts, like speeding up shots during the chorus. 3) The video aims to represent the experiences of someone having a sleepless night in a visually interesting way, though it is difficult to directly connect the visuals to the lyrics.

1. Advanced Portfolio Evaluation my video!!

3. I first saw time lapse as an interesting process to use when I watched ‘Planet Earth’ a documentary shown on the Discovery Channel: click here to watch! My video is unusual in that it is quite hard to apply any of the well known narrative theories to it. In terms of depth there is subjective character identification, because the entire video consists of us watching what the main character does. Most narrative theories (like Todorov’s or Levi-Strauss’) rely on there being a conflict, but there is none in my video expect perhaps an internal conflict for the character about wanting to sleep but remaining awake.

5. Without a proposal I didn’t really know what I was going to do, when or how. Once I had written one I was a lot more organised and it was a lot easier to get things done! “ I hope to shoot this music video in one day. It will involve just me and a friend of mine. I will monitor the filming and make sure all the footage I need has been recorded to a high enough standard. There will be several locations I use, all in my friend's hometown in Thetford. These will be a Tesco store, a car, an underpass, a residential street, a petrol station and inside a bedroom and house. I plan to strap the tripod to my friend and get him to walk or drive around the locations, occasionally using his hands, such as to eat or smoke a cigarette. Then I will speed up the footage and remove frames here and there while editing to create a time lapse effect. The only equipment I will need is a camera and a tripod, as all lighting will be provided by the surroundings, such as street lamps etc. Any effects I choose to use will be added in editing, rather than created by hand. We will only use a few props, these will be food and drink items, and cigarettes. I will not need to purchase these beforehand as choosing/buying them in the Tesco can become part of the video.”
