Goodwin suggests that lyrics will make constant references to visuals on screen and that the visuals reinforces what the lyrics say. I thought that this was a important convention for me to include in my music video in order to convey the meaning behind the song and to emphasize the lyrics and what they mean through the use of visuals.

In these clips I applied Goodwin’s theory

Lyrics “ I lay in tears in bed all night” these lyrics have a stronglink to the visuals. This highlights what the song is about, and from both the lyrics and the visuals the audience understandthat she is depressed and is going through a breakup.

Again the lyrics link to the visuals strongly. Lyrics “I died a little bit inside”. While thoseLyrics are being sung, a shot of my actressIs shown in the video of her looking into theMirror, depressed. This again highlights to theAudience that she is upset about her breakup.

Another key aspect of a music video that Goodwin states is that as an audience we look out for is that the record label will include the need for several close ups of the artist in order to introduce the band/artist to the audience.

Within my music video I used several close ups of my artist. This was done deliberately so the audience could establish a relationship with my artist, and become more familiar with her image. I also did this so that the audience understand what I’m trying to portraying emotionally, the usage of close-ups allowed me to show facial expressions and give the audience an insight into how unhappy and depressed my artist was trying to portray through expressions.

Here I applied Goodwin's theory and used a close-up of my artist. This clip shows her facial expressions, and the audience know how she is feeling – creating a better relationship between the two.

This clip is the opening and end shot, I decided to use a close up at these points because it grabs the audiences attention and its common for music videos to start this way as it can they flash back to how she has ended up this way and the story unfolds in the music video.

I took inspiration for my music video from the music video “Coldplay - The Scientist”

In the coldplay music video there is a scene where the bike is going forward and then the same clip is reversed to make it appear as if the bike is biking forwards and then biking forwardswhile going straight.

I liked this idea, so I took this andincluded a similar technique into mymusic video.

In these screenshots, I took 1 clip and copied it creating two. I then “reversed”the 2nd clip and put them next to each otheron the timeline of the video. The clip nowwith using the technique, looked like she wasdropping the photo, and the photo then went upfrom the floor into mid air and back into her hand.

I wanted to include this because it fits with my music video and the style I was going for. It makes it look like my actress keeps looking through all the photos over and over, which is the type of heartbreak, longing feel I wanted to

get across.

I also took inspiration from Ed Sheerans “Give me love” music video. There were a lot of scenes of the actress I liked and wanted to include similar shots in mine.

Here you can see I done a similar surrounding and layout as the Ed Sheeran video. I liked this shot because it showed how alone the actress was and zooming out on the room makes the actress look small and also conveys how she is all by herself and how alone she is.

Also in the Sheeran music video a lot of close ups of facial expression and to show body language were used. I wanted to include this again because it fitted in with my style of music video and it highlighted what the music video was about and showed how upset she was dealing with her heart break.

I took inspiration from the“Love the way you lie” music video by Eminem and Rihanna. As you can see fire is a on-going theme that runs through mymusic video, because it represents love being dangerous yet powerful.

I also took inspiration from another Ed sheeran video, “A team” where it has lots of close up shots of the actress showingher facial expressions and how upset she is.I included these types of shots in my video to get the point across she is upset and depressed over her past relationship.

As you can see from these clips, I took again a lot of inspiration from ed sheeran video “A team”. These clips are very similar to each other, because I liked the concept of the actress trying to “make herself pretty” by doing her makeup. I tried to convey this in my video because I wanted the audience to grasp the concept she is trying to make her ex love her, so she tries to “make herself pretty”.
