For our music video, we took some influence from the video 'Bittersweet Symphony' by the Verve. In general we thought the mise-en-scene and costumes worked particularly well, however we thought the video was rather boring. This is why we decided to use our character walking down the street for one part as well as adding a narrative around this.
The video for ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ by The Verve follows the usual conventions of a music. From the very beginning of the video right through to the end we see Richard Ashcroft walking around, the is the only narrative. Every so often he bumps into people, walks over cars etc...
the video lasts for 4:48 minutes into total, this is all narrative. However they incorporate performance into this as he is lip syncing as he walks.
The mise-en-scene works well works well with the lyrics from the song, for example ‘Trying to make ends meet, You’re a slave to money then you die’. It portrays the singer of the Verve in a negative manner, as we see him constantly bumping into people, being rude and paying absolutely no attention to his surroundings.
