Other music videos and short films that relate to our product.
Arctic monkeys- when the sun comes. I have embedded this video into my blog as the narrative for this video is similar to the storyline for our short film, it features a homeless girl who would necessarily do the things she does ( in this video a form of prostitution) if she wasn't in the situation that she was in. I also like the costume used for the girl as she looks shabby and dirty like she hasn't got the time or personal drive to make herself look her best. I think a costume like this would work well for the character as it gives the impression that she doesn't care about herself, which is the look we want the main character to have as this then portrays that her need for drugs and her next fix over rides everything that a typical representation of a girl should be. A typical representing for a teenage girl being that she is very self conscience of her appearance and fashion. Our representation in the short film also goes against normal representation's of girls and women in general that they are innocent and follows the rules. However it does relate slightly to a representation of a woman being that she does what ever a man tells her to do, as our main characters reason for taking drugs was that she did it because she was trying to impress a boy.
Example - Watch the sun come up. I have embedded this video into my blog as i like the effect in the video of the sketch theme, i think this would work well in my short film as it gives the sense that not everything is what it seems. This effect is used in Examples case that he wishes the girl was there when she not, its also used to portray a flash back. by using this effect differentiates the video from the usual conventions of a flash back being in black and white where as he has broken these codes and conventions by portraying the flash backs in the sketch effect. I think this will work well in our short film as this effect can be used to portray to the audience flashback and visions that the main character has throughout the film, such as when she turns to prostituting herself when she meets a man instead of seeing him, she See's a flash of her "boyfriend" before it cuts back to the shot of the man again.
