Breakdown of Scenes

In my music video I want to have a set narrative and therefore by doing this making it easier for the audience to receive what the video or song is about. The narrative I have chosen is the common narrative termed as classic which is seen to tell a story and supported by the narrative that is motivated by cause and effect. It has order-disorder and a set meaning with a benefited ending. It also has a beginning middle and end making it a closed narrative.The narrative I have chosen is seen to somewhat follow the lyrics sometimes. As well as a narrative the figures follow the lyrics making it a mixed variety music video appealing to all kinds of audiences. Constantly as Ed sheeran and other artists do you want to sell the artist therefore a number of times I have shown an approach to this. 

Scene 1- The initial scene, is an important one as it gives a first impression the audience. In this scene I have used the idea that Ed Sheeran uses in his video of a break from the music video its self, so away from the use of lego although the two characters are there we also see human behaviour. The scene begins with the opening image of the two lego characters sitting in their lego house on their lego sofa's watching TV here I have been clever and used this to sell the artist. Ed Sheeran himself is introducing his music and song . The narrative is then first set as the lego characters are watching a movie in their house as a couple, the action then begins as the movie is in fact there life.

Scene 2,3,4- Here, we see the next group of scenes following the lyrics ' I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a lego house and if things go wrong we can knock it down' This isn't as such have a narrative but presents a message that 'if anything goes wrong i'm here and i'll do anything for you'


Scene 5,6,7 basically once again follows the lyrics as the characters actions follow what is said for example 'there's one thing on my mind' Shows one character standing alone and it zooming into the mind of the character then using editing skills transition on to the next scene 'its all for you' showing that everything he does is for him/her.


Scenes 8,9,10.  Are the scenes of snow, where the narrative message is when times are tough i'll be here you which relates to the lyrics 'when your stuck in a cold december' 


Scenes 10,11,12 the next couple of scenes follow the lyrics of ' I'm out of sight, i'm out of mind, i'll pick you up when your getting down' here we see not the narrative but the reference of visuals to audio. The lego character is going through a number of challenges to get to the other character representing the theory of love. 


Scenes 13,14,15' I'm out of love, i'll do it for you in time' Shows a montage of scenes with the same sort of idea where the characters are getting closer together this also represents the idea of the original video where we see Rupert Grint walking through the countryside, rivers in London.Also the use of the car driving by shows the theme of moving time as the characters are still there together as time moves on. 


Scenes 16,17,18  The next couple of scenes are iconic as it shows the transformation of black and white film grain to following the lyrics of 'i'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in' this makes the scene show full colour, the next bits also have the audio linking to the visuals.


Scenes 19,20, 21
