Narrative Arc for our Music Video

Our group has decided to use light as the backbone or our narrative arc. So instead of following the usual five part arc, we have decided to only have four parts, that can easily be established by our audience. This is because as we are using light we are limited to the amount of sections we can do.

• First Part - This will be the opening of our music video. We'll include a clip of the sunrise, then go straight onto morning light. This establishes that this will be the first section of the narrative arc - the soft natural lighting. We will also introduce the artists, they will both be walking singing the opening of the song, down two separate pathways, until they meet at the end. This was a decision post arc creation, one we made in later discussions after we created the Narrative Arc. 
• Second Part - This will be shot in 'midday', so we will keep the natural lighting however it will be brighter. This will also influence the artists movement, how their movements will correlate with the brightness and happiness the sun conveys. This section will be the first chorus in the song. They will still be in the same costumes
• Third Part - In this section, we discussed how using softer lighting to portray after mid-day light, will connote that even though it's getting later and a bit darker, the girls are shown to still be having fun. The costumes will stay the same, however perhaps they will be in some warmer jumpers, to emphasise its getting later in the day. Again, they will still be in a outdoors location.
• Fourth Part- We discussed that this final section should contain performance elements in it, as well as continuing with the narrative of the song. So we've decided that the artists will slowly transition from the outdoors, to performing on the stage. We thought we could do this through the use of camera work, so it makes the transition more subtle and less harsh. This will also be shot at dusk, as its coming to the end of the day, and the music video. There will be a outfit change from their casual clothes, to more glamorous clothes.
