Format
Within the bracket of music videos, it is often seen that
either one of or both narrative and live performance are used. We have opted to
focus solely on a narrative idea, as we felt like the story we’ve interpreted
from the lyrics would be most effective without the alienation cuts to live
performance would create. It would allow the audience to become more involved
with the plot, and emphasise the strong imagery heard in the song itself.
However, our narrative is not linear, as the main body of
the narrative (the scenes that contribute to the progression of the plot) is fragmented
with shots of the protagonists’ respective groups. This was in order to create
suspense by reinforcing the tension between the two groups of people and building
up to the climax of the story, whereby the coupe is reunited. Without these
shots it may have been harder for the audience to understand why there was any separation
between them in the first place.
