Dry The River - No Rest

Today we had to  listen to a piece of music and we had to write down what we think we would put in the music video.
Here are some of the things we came up with:

- Man walking down the river playing a guitar
- Following a girl through her day(love story)
- Band playing guitar in field with lots of nature shots in lack and white with slow motion.
-Flashbacks of good times

Here is the actual music video with the song we listened to.



We also looked at the lyrics to see if we could get ideas from the actual lyrics.

"No Rest"
I used to be a king alone
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And in the eaves, the Corvidae
Did jealous keep my picture frames
And everything did oxidate in place.

But then you came, a single cell
With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I’d been before

If I don’t eat, I don’t sleep at all
Like limbs in procession,
Like so many birds
Stampeding like oxen,
Our hearts are a herd

I loved you in the best
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best

Did you see the light in my heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding out?

I loved you in the best
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best…

Carol Vernallis' Theory

4 Key Concepts
- Narrative
- Editing
- Camera/Movement/Framing
- Diegesis

Narrative
- Doesn't need beginning, middle and end
- Partial, disjoined

Editing
- Brought to foreground
- Jump cuts, breaks the 30 degree rule

Camera/Movement/Framing


Andrew Godwins- Music video theory

Godwin's theory had 6 different convention

1. Relationship between the lyrics and the visuals


2. Thought beats - relationship between the music and the visuals


3. Genre- related style and iconography


4. Multiple close-ups o the main artist or vocalist


5. Voyeurism often plays a major part (especially females)


6. Intertextual references to other media texts may be present (especially in humorous videos)
