To get an idea of a good narrative for a song, we’ve researched different music videos and their narratives for the video. By doing this, it’s given us an idea of what to include in our music video.

This video is mainly narrative with hints of performance in it. The music video is linear, showing the audience what happens in order that the events unfolded in. The music videos story is about the double standards that often exist between men and women and a story of role reversal. in the music video, she explores what it would be like to do everything he does to her in a day. The ending shows the gender roles going back to normal and the man going to work, not chancing his ways. I feel like this ending suited the music video as it reflects how things are in real life.

 

This video is an illustrative music video, the music video correlates with the actual music, giving the video meaning. The music video is a combination video, it has elements of narrative and performance, with the actor having an active role in the narrative. The story line of the music video is a boy begging for the girl to take him back which the girl is refusing too. There isn’t a proper ending to the music video, the ending is more of a montage. I feel like there could’ve been better ways the end the music video.

This is an amplified music video, with the music video correlating with the music a little bit. The story line happens in a linear way, the music video takes you through the narrative in the order that it unfolded in. The story line of this music video is about a girl with superpowers who entered some sort of mystical animal into a fighting competition where it won and she vanished the evil boss away. The ending of the video is the boss being attacked by the other mystical animals which personally, I think that was quite a good way to end the video as it fitted in well with the videos theme.
