Representations in our Music Video

The main representation for our video will be the lyrics as we are doing an illustration video. For our video we are going to be doing a Illustration video which is where the lyrics match up with the visuals, which fits in with Andrew Goodwins theory. I think that using Illustration for our video will work really well because I think that the use of the lyrics 'Fast Car' means that we can use a lot of shots of cars in our video. We won't be using illustration for the whole of our video because in some parts we will be using lip syncing which also fits in with Andrew Goodwins theory. We will try and stick to the theory throughout the making of the video. The story of the video is about Skye and it's her everyday life being shown through the video and it's just all of her thoughts and feeling coming out through the song. It starts of in a small room where we have Skye lip syncing on a chair and then throughout the video it cuts to various locations depending on the lyrics. We have various shots of Skye walking on the road and various shots of the motorway. We also have shots in Leicester Town as in a part of the song it says 'in to the city' so we are going to take some shots in town. As our video is an illustration we are going to annotate the lyrics which will help us to see what parts we can put where throughout the video and this will help us to narrow down our locations and help us to look at locations that we can use for our final piece. Another representation is the artist, Skye will be portrayed as quite an average teenage girl but will star quality. She will also be portrayed as quite simple but also with a little bit of attitude. Skye will be seen in the male gaze throughout the video which fits in with Andrew Goodwins theory but this will be done subtly rather than obviously.
