video narrative script.

The video I will be analysing are
·     Wiz Khalifa - See You Again ft. Charlie Pugh [Official Video] Furious 7 Soundtrack.


The narrative of this video is actually quite sad because this is actually in memory of Paul walker who plays Brian O’Connor in the fast and furious movies. This is made my wiz khalifa and Charlie Pugh. They write a song in his memory. Anyway, the song is about how he is going to be missed with the main lyric being ‘see you again’.  From watching the whole music video I can connote that actually they could be saying we will definitely meet up whether that’s in the next life or this.  The genre of this video is hip-hop. The next thing I am going to do is quote a lyric from this music video which basically sums up this video’ oh I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again’. Honestly, I could’ve read the all the lyrics from the video because the whole video is all about the crew sharing their best memories with Paul.

In this video there is nothing censored in this video? I think there is none because this is a song that is dedicated to a famous actor and you wouldn’t want to be swearing about the actor. Also, because this song is to appear in the movie the people that made this video would have to be careful as to who normally watches the fast and furious movies. As the audience is normally a PG audience.

Here we cue to the start of the video. You can see the beautiful sky with the iconic piano playing in the background. Then we jump into the video. You can see Charlie Pugh playing the piano and in the background there is a city, which looks stunning. Next you can see a 360 view of where he is and you can see the two muscle cars that star in the movies. After that scene there is a shot of the whole crew looking at the city from afar. The next shot is an establishing shot of the city going forward in fast motion going from day to night. Now fast-forwarding to around 2 minutes. The first shot is he leaning over to kiss his girlfriend/wife. Forwarding a few seconds you can see the 2 main characters Bryan and Dominic sitting on their two muscle cars looking up into the sunset. Again forwarding another few you can see a scene which is at the end of the fast and furious7 movie which is bryan and his wife on the beech playing with his little kid whilst every one else watches.

Narrative in music videos.

A
  • Narrative- A narrative storyline relating to music is when a music video has a story behind all of the song. For example such as 'taylor swift love story'. Everybody has a narrative. A beginning middle and end.
  • Todorov's Theory-Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all narratives follow a three part structure where they begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.
  • Levi-strauss theory- Levi-strauss's theory uses binary opposites which means Binary opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another. E.G GOOD AND EVIL.

Posters








This first movie poster is connoting to me that the movie is gonna be an amazing film. This is because you can see that the gang of toys look really happy. Also, because this movie is in a sequence of movies and has been released after a long time since the previous one which was toy story 2 it says right at the top 'THE TOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN' which also leads to to extra excitement about the movie.







This second poster also connotes the same thing as the one above but in this poster it says at the top ' AN EYE POPPING EXPERIENCE IN 3D'. So this means it is in 2d and 3d which makes people want to watch it in 3D, especially keen movie fans, and fans of the toy story sequel.
