I decided to choose this brief (instead of making a short film) because I'm very passionate about music and am excited at the prospect of making a music video. I'm keen to use an old song to fit in with the idea of memories, focusing on romance and young love. I feel that genre theory and narrative theory would both be relevant, so I will be exploring how I can apply them to my ideas in order to decide which theory would be best. I'm fascinated by the concept of love and how it has changed over time. I want to make comparisons between the idealistic and modern-day perceptions of love and relationships by portraying a couple who appear to be happily in love, however it's not the perfect fairytale ending and the love fades.
One of my main inspirations are the lyrics to this song, particularly these lines:
See we got together so young,
before our real lives had begun,
but flowers don't grow up as one,
each finds its own way to the sun,
and that's exactly what we've done.
We've grown up separately too.
before our real lives had begun,
but flowers don't grow up as one,
each finds its own way to the sun,
and that's exactly what we've done.
We've grown up separately too.
I think this is written beautifully and conveys exactly the message that I would like to put across in my video.
