Props and Costumes

By
We intended to keep our music video basic in terms of what to use for props and costume.

The main prop we used was the car. this was a very effective prop as it allowed us to have many more possibilities when it came to filming the video. The car also relates to our audience of young adults, this is due to the fact that at this age people will be starting to pass their driving test which leads to their attention to be towards the car and therefore be more intrigued with the music video and feel a connection with the character. We used this to get many of our shots of the surrounding town as well as filming our lip syncing section inside of the car. Otherwise we would use the setting to use as props e.g. the arcade machines. This kind of setting could appeal to our target audience as a casino is a place of amusement that attracts a lot of teenagers and young adults as a place of amusement.

The costumes were kept basic. We aimed to have a casual look as it is just someone driving and walking around a town on his own. This consisted of the common clothing that a young adult would wear e.g. jeans t-shirt and trainers. We felt this would be very effective at keeping our audience engaged as they would feel that they have more in common with the actor in the video, so therefore, feel more obliged to watch it. There is no specific story or event behind our video so there was no need to dress in a different way than normal.

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. This is the reason for the fast-paced music video Genre Due to the pop genre, that Toxic is this means that dance and movement has a high involvement in the video, the young target audience for the video are seeing Britney doing these famous dance moves and therefore they are becoming mor...

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...
