Narrative Theory

TODOROV

 There are 5 steps in this pattern of TODOROV

 Equilibrium - a happy beginning and start to everything where everything seems to be content and unknown, not much is given away.

 A disruption - The there is a problem in which causes the happiness to be lost or it explains the unknown... doesn't go well

 Realisation - Everyone realises and acknowledges the problem or the change and it is brought to the attention of the audience

 Restored order - Where the character changes or scenes change to try and resolve it all

 Equilibrium again - Final part where normality is brought back and it summarises what had happened and the outcome.
In our music video this theory wasn't used that much. However this is how we used it -

 The equilibrium is right at the beginning 1 or 2 seconds into it where is shows her looking at her phone and everything is fine.

 The disruption is few seconds in and it is shown this when she receives a text when being told there is a cancellation.

 Realisation is shown 10 to 15 seconds in and its shows she has been let down again. This is shown through out as memories are replayed.

 Restored order is slightly later on and it is displayed when she was living the better times.

 Finally equilibrium is shown again when it gets to the last few seconds and it shows her thinking back on those memories and she ends back in a positive mindset.

Website analysis of Dua Lipa

Website Home Page The home page features a black and white theme keeping it simple and modern. The photo featured is of the artist 'Dua Lipa'. This is to show the artist on the main page and this is because that is what her fans want to see when they click onto her website. The use of the male gaze is used as she is seen drawing attention to her lips by holding up the flower to her mouth. This is so that she hits both genders in different ways. There is also a navigation bar featuring white headings that when you hoover over them they underline and this is to help you navigate your way around the website easily. By having the navigation at the top and easy to see just means that they're more likely to keep navigating and exploring the website as the navigation bar will be able to show more things to explore when hovered over. There are also a range of social media logos including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, Apple and emails.  The...

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting...

Evaluation 1 - In what ways do your music product use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals.  One point during the song the lyrics are 'catching fire as the wind blows'. We have used a clip within our video where we have tried to portray those lyrics. This was done through the use of a candle and a girl blowing the candle out. The girl represents the wind whilst the candle represents the fire. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented. The record company would want the artist to be represented in a way that teenagers can relate them. This is very apparent as the girl in the video wants to feel loved and you could interpret it as she has gone through a break up. Something in which every teenager at some point in their life has experienced. A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre Typically the video genre is actually techno, but we have interprete...
