Image result for day n night kid cudiThe song we have chosen to use for our music video is the song Day N Nite by Kid Cudi. This is a song that is personal to Will and I as we enjoyed its release in 2009 up until today and also enjoy watching the very interesting and unique music video. Here is some of the information about the sing and artist.

 Genre: Hip-hop/rap

 Nominations: MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist

 Image result for day n night kid cudiThis is a quote from Kid Cudi explaining to his audiecne why he wrote the song Day n Nite. 'My uncle that I lived with passed in 2006. We were actually beefing because he forced me out the house when I didn’t have another situation set up, so I was bitter. I never apologized for it, and that kills me. That’s why I wrote ‘Day ’N’ Nite.’'
The track serves as Cudi’s justification for this “beef” with his deceased uncle, and the way he deals with the pain of their unresolved issues. The drugs help him “run,” but it’s the madness of the industry and making it that caused the problems in the first place.
The lyrics of the song will either make you relate or feel sorry for the character he is singing about in the song, Kid Cudi explains very well the feelings and actions of the character and this is due to the fact that he is singing about himself. He also states in his explanation of the song that it kills him that he never apologized to his uncle for being bitter towards him this could mean that it hangs over him to this day and repeats in his head, this could be the reason for the emphasis on the repeated words after several lines. These meaning the constant reminder of what he has said and done. 
This is a very beloved song by many people around the fan base of Kid Cudi and is widely recognized by a large population of fans of the music industry therefore meaning its an instant classic for my generation.  This song is his most popular out of all of them with 110,008,608 plays on Spotify.

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

By
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...

Intended Institution Analysis

By
This is a post that explains what intended institution we will want to have. This consists of the TV institution in which we would like the music video to be presented on. A lot has to be taken into account when choosing the TV station, this would consist of the kind of viewers that watch the stations. For example it would be a bad idea to have the music video shown on a classical music channel when the target audience for the video is between 16-30 aged people. also the viewers of that channel would most likely not like the video so therefore it would get bad reviews and a name. Will and i have chosen to use the TV channel 'VEVO' to present our video as this is a well known music channel and the majority of viewers of the channel are within our target audiences ages. this would be a very effective channel to use as it would most likely get out to the intended audience and also would act as a way of getting the video some popularity and feedback from the audience.
