Statement of intent

The artist and the song I chose for my preliminary music video is Skywalker - Miguel (featuring Travis Scott). In this 30-40 second music video, it will involve the following of a corrupted environment, possession of drugs, negative change and collided paths. One contrasting thing that will highlight in my video is that someone who is in possession of using drugs look up to someone else who has positive path whilst another person who has a simple life looks up to someone who is corrupted and unthinkable. The two shots I used in this music video was a high angle shot (to represent innocence and lack of capability)  and a low angle shot (to represent power and dominance).

The use of demographics reinforce stereotypes of gender how most males do illegal activities that go against the law and the psycho graphics show different lifestyles being represented. The preferred reading for my music video is about how environmental changes can impact someones life significantly. However the oppositional  reading for my music video is that the protagonist should have separated himself from the negative influences impacting his life. The use of juxtaposition shown in  my music video is presented through time as my first scene introduces a dark setting whilst at the end the setting is bright and dim. 

The use of visceral pleasure shown in my music video is that there is a scene where one of the antagonists calls the police which gives thrill to the audience. The use of vicarious pleasure shown in my music video is through the interactions of the protagonist and the antagonist/ villain. The use of voyeuristic pleasures is shown through the protagonist and antagonist walking down a pathway where the other antagonist follows them whilst they are distracted. Propp's character theory is presented by the protagonist being in a vulnerable position whilst his friend is a side kick who tries to prevent the negative situation from happening whilst the villain is the antagonist who follows the protagonist.
