Laura Mulvey - Male Gaze
we have not created a character/performer which will satisfy the male gaze as our star and backing singers are all men. You could say that we have made a male gaze for the woman, where the main character/performer is attractive to the women and we have done this purposely.
Todorov Theory
"Every narrative starts with an equilibrium (state of normality) Then there's a disruption (a disturbance to the normality) New equilibrium as a result of the disruption."
- In our video, we have begun with a man who is ‘normal’ but then be gets taken into a mental hospital for what he thinks is no reason, but then we realise that he is actually really crazy.
Barthes Theory
"We understand narratives through understanding and decoding signals and codes."
- We will use an actions code to hint to the viewer about what is about to happen. For example we are going to use objects and such to show foreshadowing of later events. We are going to send signals to suggest what is going to happen but not give to much away by hinting a few things. This theory is quite hard with a disjuncture music video.
