RESEARCH: Analysis Of Original Music Video & How Ours Will Differ

The original video follows a narrative where Lilly Allen is Elton John's stalker and then kidnaps him. Our video however will be about the artists feelings of loneliness and sadness. To show this we will use special effects such as black and white and slow motion. The original video is in colour and has the artist interacting with 'Elton John', this is because the theme of the original video is obsession whereas our video's theme is that of loneliness and sadness. Therefore, the only person in the video will be the artist, she will be alone in more or less all the shots and basetracks making her the main focus and thus amplifying the theme. Although the original seems to have some sort of narrative running through it our video will be solely about the lyrics which means that the narrative is of least importance and that the pace of edits and special effects have a great deal of relevance to the overall amplification of the song and its meaning.
