Denotation and Connotation

By
The general theme of our music video is to do with loneliness. So most of our shots will usually feature one main character either completely alone or if there are people in the shot, they won't be in the forefront and have any relevance to the main character. This makes them stand out as lonely. We also aim to have the main character in a setting of darkness but surrounded by bright and vibrant lights. This makes them seem excluded from the light round him and emphasises the feeling of loneliness as he is being left alone in the dark.

Toxic Analysis - Alfie

Toxic Analysis Lyrics The lyrics for the song Toxic establishes the point that Britney is now ready to move on from her teenage years and now is looking to show her more adult life as a pop star.  The lyrics to the song Toxic are filled with sexual remarks just to reinforce the idea of her as a sexual image. The lyrics are as follows: There’s no escape, I can’t wait I need a hit, baby give it to me You’re dangerous, I’m lovin’ it With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With a taste of the poison paradise Music Toxic is an example of pop music in the 90’s this involved high tempo beats that could be used as a dance track.

Todorov's Narrative Theory

By
There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include: Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning. Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption. Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on. Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium). Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.

Evaluation 3

There is currently no feedback on our music video as well as the digipak and the website. The only communication we have with our audience is from a survey about music videos in general. We learnt that our main audience were teenagers that mostly all agreed that music videos made songs much better. This is good news for us, as we have picked a genre of song (hip-hop/rap) that generally appeals to a younger target audience Results also show that they thin the main purpose of a music video is to entertain, as a result, we have attempted to make the music video as entertaining as possible. We did this through trying to make it aesthetic as well as relatable. The survey also shows that people think aesthetics is also very important, therefore we tried to focus on some interesting shots in our music video to try and match what people think.  Results also indicate that our audience tend to enjoy both music videos with narrative and performance at the same time. As a...
