Our props and costumes

Props -

For our props we didn't really want to include much we was aiming for it to be more the artist and a background. For this reason there wouldn't be many props, however when filming these were the props included. Prop wise, we have very limited use of props. However there is the use of a mobile phone and a field which consists of a park bench and trees. As well as a handbag and hoodie.

Costumes -

In our music video we would like to focus more on the lyrics and demonstrate that through the scenery etc, rather than portraying it how its shown in the original video by Galantis. As the original video does not follow a narrative. The use of colours that we will be using will be dark colours with red. The red represents the idea of love and the colour black is suppose to represent the idea that she is trying to hide away and is on the run. The costume used throughout is very casual and a typical teenager outfit, so what you would expect to see on a teenager. The reason we chose to keep it simple and teen like was because the music video is about young love and the target audience for the song is teenagers or young adults, as well as anyone who likes electro-pop. The costumes are not really a key part of the video, its more about the actions taking place throughout. Although we do have two lovers in school uniform, to represent that they are young.

Textual analysis of Toxic - Britney Spears

Britney Spears TOXIC Performance – When she is on the phone, it acts as if she is telling the story whereas the shots of her in her white suit is aimed to be more sexual and less story based. She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative. She is sexualised throughout the whole of the music video; however, some parts are more sexualised than others are. Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...

Semiotics Theory by Barthes

The Theory Semiotic theory is the study of signs and symbols by a man named Roland Barthes. He researched how an audience views and interprets a piece of media. He believed that audiences looked for signs to help them understand the narrative of the media being presented. The signs are based on expectations that the audiences had due to how society believe in myths and old tales. The signs are a connotation, so a word, an image, a sound etc. Denotation is what it means literally, so for example, the word cat signifies an animal that meows or when marketing a business may use a logo with the name featured. Over time though the symbol within the logo will be the only thing that is needed as the symbol itself is recognisable and has more meaning. An example of where this has been done is for Nike. There is the logo, so the Nike tick, with the word Nike or there is the logo tick with the slogan 'Just do it'. However, where the brand has become more recognisable, Nike are...
