One of the aspects that I really needed to consider while constructing the narrative for my music video was whether or not the repeatability of the music video would be achieved by the plotline. The plotline that I initially thought of was to have a past relationship that had split up and that Joe was looking over the memories. I discarded this idea at first but when constructing my storyboard, I realised that I needed someone else to be in the music video as well as Joe in order to increase repeatability and so that the actual types of shots can be varied. This means that I could loosely suggest that a relationship has been and ended in the music video just by having several photos with Joe and the female in it.
Therefore, Musical Synaesthesia can be applied to the narrative because an overall mood is created by the tone of voice that the artist uses in the song ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ and also the use of the acoustic guitar indicates a sad/emotional mood along with the beat being slightly slower throughout the verses. It then quickens in the chorus’ and so this could mean that he is recovering from the relationship breakup – using maybe more ‘cheerful’ shots.
Repetition of the chorus shots could be suitable to create repeatability (such as the locations) but I would like to vary as much of the shots as possible in order to make it more interesting. Unusual camera angles can be used such as a shot looking up the guitar while Joe is playing it and worm’s eye view/bird’s eye view shots to signify importance, authority or how he personally feels about himself (confidence or to signify that he is completely alone). Direct Address to the audience is also very important because he is a solo artist and so there must be close up shots of him looking directly at the camera and that he is a participant and the narrator at the same time. These are all conventions of band/artist performance.
