Performance Video

We chose Goodbye Kiss by Kasabian for our Performance video because it only has them performing the song at one of their concerts in the bands official video. It shows them on stage in front of hundreds of fans which tells you that it's a performance rather than a recorded version of them singing the song put to a video. This means they haven't spent loads of money to produce their video and also that any one who decides to make a video to the song, can be original and not have such a high standard to compete with.

Concept Video

We thought 'Here It Goes Again' by OK Go was a good example for a concept video as it is completely random as it doesn't have a story or go with the song lyrics at all. It consists of the band dancing continuously on treadmills throughout the length of the song. It received a VMA for being the best video (that should have won a moonman) in 2009.

Narrative Video

I chose Taylor Swift's song 'Love Story' as the narrative video as it is not only based upon a love story between a man and woman, but they are also a typical prince and princess too. By doing this it tells you Swift has used a sense of Disney behind the creation of the video. It has the Protagonist, which is usually the hero and is the prince in this case. The Heroine which Taylor Swift plays herself as the princess, and the Antagonist is the parents or whomever/whatever is getting in the way of the two from being together. They are in school to start with and they don't really know each other but by the end of the video they are in love and getting married, and this just goes to show that it's similar to quite a lot of fairy tale films.

Lyrics Analysis and Locations

Standing in the rain, bus is late again 

Girl will be stood waiting for the bus in rain, looks at watch because bus is late and she's annoyed.
She's been waiting for the answer
She won't go away, until it comes her way
She wont miss another chance

- STANDING AT THE BUS STOP

flashback of previous performance that she failed (different outfit)

And it's hard to take
But she's hard to break
And it's hard

- DIFFERENT DRAMA STUDIO OR BALLET STUDIO

shot of peoples feet in normal shoes but the girls wearing her ballet shoes - bus stop
There's a twinkle in her little eye

close up of her eyes, emphasis of one eye especially 
Just for a minute, she feels like a dancer
If you let her in she will stay for life
Cuz she feels like a dancer, like a dancer tonight

looks out of window on bus - on the bus

On a single bed, where she lays her head
She thinks about tomorrow

shot of her laying on her bed and looking at her ballet shoes
And she doesn't know, that she beautiful
But you know it shows

Grabs mirror and looks in it with doubt - in girls bedroom
And it's hard to take
But she's hard to break
Said it's hard to take

flashback of her practising moves she cant get right - drama studio/ballet studio

There's a twinkle in her little eye
Just for a minute, she feels like a dancer
If you let her in she will stay for life
There's a twinkle in her little eye
Just for a minute, she feels like a dancer
If you let her in she will stay for life

doing art work (shots of her ballet work) she is sat thinking about her performance, nervous. - at school
sat preparing herself in front of mirror - backstage (at school)
And tonight's the night that she will find it
And the lights, the lights are all shining

lights shining on her as she enters the stage
She feels like a dancer, feels like a dancer
As she slips away again

begins performance, goes really well - school hall

There's a twinkle in her little eye
Just for a minute, she feels like a dancer
If you let her in she will stay for life
There's a twinkle in her little eye
Just for a minute, she feels like a dancer
If you let her in she will stay for life
Cuz she feels like a dancer
Like a dancer
Like a dancer tonight
Smiles as she continues to dance, everything goes right. finishes in pose lots of clapping and cheering, lights and song fade out. - school hall
