Narrative choice

Narrative choice:

There are two choices we have decided to opt for. The first being Binary opposition, conducted by Levi-Strauss. This binary opposition will be working class, Rural Versus Upper class, urban. The reason for this is the Britpop genre being commonly associated with the working class and Urban areas too being linked as being working class. We wanted to do this to hep exaggerate the convention of working class and urban areas. We decided to add a twist of adding rural areas to contrast urban areas as well as create the binary opposition theory.  This is will be apparent with the urban areas being dull and artificial compared to the rural areas being vibrant and natural showing the class difference. This is done to make a statement of class inequality. 

The next theory is going to Barthes enigma codes. This will be applied through the use of the girl in our music video without showing her identity fully. There will be various shots of her but no distinguishing shot that is clear to see who I am singing about. This is because the lyrics itself can be applied to Barthes code. This is because song writer, Noel Gallagher wrote the song about a unknown girl at the time and him confessing his love towards her. We decided that this should be included in are narrative as we can link the lyrics meanings into the story line. This would add to the action element to as we tease the audience with close ups of facial features but not a clear image creating suspense to who it is. This would make it semantic to as the audience would question who it is creating mystery and debate. In addition, the symbolic link is the binary oppositions mentioned above, about class difference as well as not knowing how to approach the girl. He has the confidence to write and sing a song about her but not have the courage to speak to her. 

This is a much needed post as this is required to help us construct our music video. This structure is needed to help us portray conventions within the narrative as well as assign certain shot types and editing skills further along the line in the process. It also shows are established decision of what we need to do.
