In our music video the narrative is mainly linear and has some shots where it is seen as not a linear narrative. As our video is telling a short story of a boy who gets over his ex-girlfriend and starts all over again by helping people and getting a new girlfriend, whilst hitting passed the vocalist of the band. The shots of the story are mainly seen in the video but it also has cutaways to scenery around them and also cutting to shots of the vocalist lip syncing the song in a studio. So parts are seen as a linear narrative telling a story of the a boy, but looking over our video we decided is wasn’t a linear narrative as it doesn’t stay in one straight story line as it cuts from shots of the singer and the male protagonist. We concluded this by watching videos that were linear narrative and compared them to our video and we seen a big difference in between them as the linear narrative videos had no cuts to a singer or band just a simple small story with the song playing over the shots. These images show the story in brief:
We also found through that research that our music video does have a conventional narrative, for such it having a beginning middle and end. As we see Tom get over his ex-girlfriend by burning her picture and then slowly walking towards a new girl as he helps others on the way, coming to an end where he meets her and holds her hand walking away from the camera. Towards the end of our video we use the same shot of the burning photo from the beginning to emphasise him getting over a girl and starting with a new one. Overall the narrative in our video is a convention of a music video having a beginning, middle and end with is experimental sides of finishing with the beginning shot used in the video, which makes our video be seen as a real video which would be seen on tv or the internet by the fans of alternative rock.
