REPRESENTATIONS WITHIN OUR MUSIC VIDEOS

Teens are often represented as being moody, lazy, disinterested and sometimes rebellious. In our music video

teens will be represented the same as we will represent the teens to be sullen and disinterested, partially due to

one of their close friends dying. This representation however will change over the course of the music video

Typically teens are known to be at the bottom of the social hierarchy and therefore are represented in a bad light, however in our music video we will challenge this and

instead change how they are seen over the course of the music video which is something that is hardly seen in the

music video industry

We believe that this will appeal to the audience as we are aiming for the music video to be focused towards the age group of 16-25 so we will be placing extra emphasis on

making the video appeal. This can be done by making the main character a teenager as to get the target audience to

relate to the character. Another way that we will use to appeal towards our target audience is by including themes and setting that teenagers will be familiar with, including

the family home in which the teenager has grown up in

HOW WILL THIS APPEAL TO THE AUDIENCE?

One of the things that we will need at the start of our music video is to include a heartrate monitor that shows that someone has died. This is key to our music video as the

overall plotline dictates how the main character is actually dead, and this is discovered at the end of the music video. Then the next scene will show the main character waking up, we will have the main character wearing smart attire

that you would generally see at a funeral. This is needed as it will hint towards the fact that the MC is dead and which is the main focal point of the music video. Another way in which we will connote towards this is by including a scene

in which the main characters friends will visit a gravestone. This will later be hinted that it is the main characters but we wont show this as to create some mystery surrounding

the grave
