Story Board

The story board was designed by Mahnoor on her drawing tablet. Her exceptional art skills played a huge role in the visualisation of the music video. She coloured parts to draw emphasis on the colours, an imperative element of the concept of our music video.


Protagonist reaches for a ringing telephone.

She puts the receiver next to her ear waiting for a reply from the caller.
Cut to another scene, where the protagonist is sitting and contemplating with a telephone besides her, this is a jump in the sequence.
pixelated heart shows up next to head as she sits next to a easel with a painting on it depicting a childish drawing.
The hand on the right is desperately grasping all the red string completely intertwining themselves up to their wrists.
The arm on the left lets go and the red string breaks.
The protagonist listens to the caller with a impassive expression.

Second Cut (Final Music Video)

Once the first cut was done all the footage was laid out in the required order, the second cut was for adding all the effects and animations to make the video more visually pleasing. While shooting we relied on the sunlight as our main source of lighting and since the shoot took place over three shooting days with varying levels of light on certain scenes, this lead to some unpleasing discoloration to certain sections of the footage where the camera picked up odd muddy tones instead of the vibrant primary colours. In this first half of colour correction Mahnoor basically tried to match all the footage to a equal level of brightness and correct all the discoloration and try to match them on intensity and saturation of colour as well. In the image above you can see her correcting the dull greenish hues on the original video to a the required soft vibrant yellow. She wanted to match all the colours so when she would further apply filters there would be no miss match. After basi...

Creative Critical Reflection

Now that we've wrapped up our advanced portfolio its time to reflect on our project through the focus of certain questions. Q.1 How do your products use or challenge conventions and how do the represent social groups or issues? The genre me and my team picked for our final products was indie pop. Indie as a genre in general breaks tonnes of conventions and creates new ones mostly due to the freedom allotted to the artists. Rather than having set conventions the indie scene works in trends which emerge with time, which is what we've based certain aspects of our products off and what we've gone against to showcase some of our own artistic ability. In a country like Pakistan, which is mostly over run with remastered coke studio versions of old songs, releasing an indie pop album and music video is unconventional as it is. Similarly, due to the creative freedom the genre allows us, we were able to represent social issues which we may not have been able to if we were to be...

Intertextuality

Intertextuality refers to when one media text incorporates another media text and in the process alters said media text. Intertextuality has many sub types such as: Pastiche: Pastiche is when a media text imitates another media text or style in a positive way. Marina and the Diamonds' music video for 'Shampain' is a pastiche of Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller' music video as a bunch of undead girls join her for a choreographed dance sequence. The music video for 'Gives You Hell' is a pastiche of a typical 50's neighbourhood, with the 'family oriented' side of the warring neighbours dressing in typical 50's fashion too. Parody: In a parody a media text often uses references from another media text to to mock it. Bo Burnham's 'Repeat Stuff' music video parodies Justin Beiber in parts of his music video as a way to poke fun at the unoriginal and vague music they produce which plays of...
