We had the choice between a music video and a short film. Working by myself this year as unfortunately, Matt is changing school, I had to debate the options for myself...
Short Film vs Music Video
- Short Films need an ending that generally has a twist, so I'll need to think of a creative ending.
- Though they offer a lot more creative freedom than music videos in the narrative sense.
- The theories are also a lot broader and easier to apply with the equipment I have available.
- However, the meaning behind the song and the lyrics limit the narrative as disjuncture only works with certain songs and a majority of the time videos amplify the lyrics.
- The narrative is further restricted because of Andrew Goodwin's theories that should be applied to a video.
My Decision
Being someone who enjoys narrative and loves films with intelligent plots I have decided to go with a short film. Basically, because I'm not restricted by any lyrics or meaning and so can create my own.
I'm also keen to learn audacity and get to grips with learning how to effectively use sound to create meaning and make use of its strengths.
