Digi Pak
Here’s our finished digi pak. As you can see it fits in with its release date, Valentine’s Day, consisting mainly of white and red colors, relating to the theme of Valentine’s Day and love and passion as well as images of the artist herself and content information. The words 'I love you' take up 3 of the 6 sides of the digi pak, really emphasizing these three words with a font big enough to take up a side per word. Also with the single coincidently being called 'therapy' it would make sense for use to release it on Valentine’s Day because it is a love song and therefore relevant to the release date. Releasing a love song on Valentine’s Day should appeal to consumers allot more than any other day of the year because it’s just the right present/ gift for the right occasion.

Final Piece of Filming: Central Park
The last piece of filming took place in Central park where we filmed shots of Danielle and Erron having a good time and making up with each other. These last few shots are going to end our music video solving the enigma, which was created earlier on in the music video. we decided to film these shots towards night time because we thought it would be more romantic for a couple to make up with each other under the stars glaring down on them, however we did not included the stars in our music video because they did not show up very well on the camera even when zoomed in. the shots included, Erron swinging Danielle on the swing set, Danielle lip synching in the park, them both laughing on the play area, them both walking away holding hands, here are some screen grabs of the filming we had done.

Filming: Close Up Of Danielle Lip Syncing
Here we got close up shots of Danielle lip syncing. The reason why we done this shot in close up on Danielle's face is because we intended to add lyrics onto the screen while Danielle was lip syncing so that all we could see was the lyrics on screen and mainly Danielle's lips through the gaps of the letters. We thought by adding this would make the music video more interesting to watch and really emphasize the lyrics that are being sung. Here is a screen shot.

What is 'Narrative'?
What is ‘narrative’?
- Story
- Plot
- The way the story is organised
Elements of a Narrative:
- Time - chronology
Linear Time - an example of a film with linear time is 'High Noon' where the film is the same duration as the film itself, which is otherwise known as a film shown in real time.
Non Linear - this is basically the opposite where for example the film in real life was 2 hours long however time inside the film could have covered days, weeks, months, years and sometimes even thousands of years.
Memento - this is a film where it starts at the latest time and finishes at the earliest time, the films starts at the latest time and gradually jumps back to the start of the film and ends there, kind of like its being shown backwards.
Pulp Fiction - Pulp Fiction starts just over halfway of the film and ends just after the start before the action is happening and jumps all over the place in between.
- Closure
- Enigma
What enigmas are created in our music video?
enigmas in our music video are the flash backs the couple have of when they were together, which makes the audience think whether they are going to get back with each other or not, that’s one enigma, which is created during the music video.
Classical Hollywood Narratives:
- Linear
- Few, if any, sub-plots
- Tendency towards closure
Theories of Narrative: Todorov
- Equilibrium
- Disruption
- Resolution
- New Equilibrium
To test this theory I had watched the beginning of the film 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' to see if the film did include any of Todorov’s theories of narrative, here's what I analysed.
1) Equilibrium - Everything’s in balance, Clint Eastwood and his son are happily working on the farm with their horse
2) Disruption - Clint notices birds flying out of the trees, followed by him seeing horses behind the trees and a cloud of black smoke coming from nearby, he then hears gun shots and soon discovers houses on fire.
3) Resolution - after the death of Clint’s son he is going to avenge his death
4) New equilibrium - whatever the new equilibrium Clint cannot return to where he was at the beginning of the film because that is where his son had been killed.
