Applying narrative to your chosen media text

How is the narrative organised and structured?

The narrative in the video is linear, no flashbacks and audience isn't confused between time and space

The narrative is 'loose' which makes the video easy to watch repeatedly

The narrative is closed - no sequel

Camera:
Mise-en-scene: added authenticity (realism) because we has a DJ mixer and the sound seemed synchronous.

Did the setting help establish the audience?

The setting had a studio appearence, with plain white walls and coloured flashingbackgrounds used as an element or continuity. We didn't use any landmarks or recognisable settings. However we did create the idea of a house party with the addition of a few character's.

the importance of sound, mise-en-scene, iconography (props) or editing, technical features?


is there a set theme in your video?

The set theme of our video is fun. we have represented normal teenagers in a carefree way

Does the video portray an aspirational lifestyle? (John Swewart)

i would say our video is aspirational and a form of escapism as it simply displays fun. This is something we felt was important in a music video and would help it to be watched repeatidly.

Theorist - voyeristic (the art of looking), does the mise-en-scene have sexual suggestions?
