Possible New Narrative Arrangement Idea
In lesson today I addressed my worries about the lack of direction in my narrative. I knew that I wanted to have a storyline of a love/hate relationship but I did not feel it had enough depth and really I would like to create a video that people would talk about and people would take interest in. I discussed with my teacher the different ways to allow my video to stand out from a typical 'boy meets girl' video. He suggested I could film each location twice and have one positive situation and a negative in the same place to identify the way feelings have changes between the couple and that there would be a pivital point in the video when you see why it all changed. I then suggested a video I watched recently for Wicked Games by Parra for Civa featuring Anna Naklab. The video shows the couple when they were children and then their relationships as adults through the good times and the bad.
I then suggested that I could edit my footage to tell the story in reverse to show the decline in the relationship at the beginning, the climatic moment when the relationship goes wrong in the middle of the narrative and then the end of the music video shows the start of the relationship.
However, if this does not work I could just rearrange the footage and organise it in a way which may work better in that circumstance.
I think the key thing to do here is to publish adjusted storyboards in order to demonstrate how you have changed the narrative thrust. I think you also need to explain it in the context of the videos you have looked at - why have you decided to make this changes in relation to your developing understanding of the genre?
