Narrative Sheet

We have filmed the performance part of our music video meaning we now need to film the narrative side to it, this meant we needed a lot of preparation and planning. Firstly, we filled out a sheet below with all the information regarding the narrative. This included the type of narrative we are filming and the structure to it- Disruption, Resolution and the New Equipmentilibrium. We also discussed the key themes for our narrative and gave a brief outline of the storyline.

Reflection

This task was very helpful due to the fact we used it during our shoot to remind and prepare our selves of our goals and targets as well as what our aims were and what was needed. It also ensured that we knew the type of narrative we were doing as well as knowing the themes so we knew how we were going to portray it.

Todorov’s Theory is something we looked back on when planning our narrative, to insure the build up of climax up to the event and that it results in restoration and the problem solved. This shows we have a beginning, middle and end to our narrative which is what we needed. Most music videos will have an amplified narrative, meaning it includes illustrative and disjunctive aspects. A lot of narratives are also non-linear, meaning they do not run in chronological order.
