Adding of a Narrative

After viewing our music video several times, we decided to improve it by adding a narrative story line to accompany the performance based video.
We listened carefully to the lyrics and interpreted this into an idea for a narritive, which like most narratives, consisted of a couple and their relationship.
When researching narratives, I started by looking at the original 'Since You've Been Gone' music video by Kelly Clarkson.


The video starts off by showing a confident girl (Kelly Clarkson), showing how she's moved on from her boyfriend. This narrative then continues into a performance video, similar to that of our video.

Another music video I looked at is Beyonce's video for song 'If I Were a Boy.


The part of the video that particularly catches my attention is the narrative in the middle of the video. In shows a clear arguement between a couple, which is portrayed as a common thing in most narrative based music videos. As a group, we will take these points upon board and try to use aspects of them in our own narrative.
