Similar Product Research: 5 Seconds Of Summer - Amnesia.

I have chosen to analyse Amnesia because the video uses flashbacks which is what Becka and I are looking to do. Between sad individual shots of the band members, flashbacks to a happier time are included. There's the four of them and four female friends playing by a pool, going for a joy ride in a beat up old car and playing around in a grocery store parking lot. The music video is a fitting tribute to a lost love, with an equal balance between love new and lost. The lost love is the context we are looking to base our music video on. The flashbacks in this music video aren't in monochrome however, and the ones in our music video will be, as we think it gives the flashback more effect. 

 I like this shot as he is left of frame. 

This group shot is quite messy and there is
too much going on. I think we will avoid this shot type. 

Again, this is a group shot and apart from the performance shots, i think we will probably plan for two shots or individual shots.

I really like the lighting on this shot and will think about this as a shot for our lead singer.

The water idea has inspired us greatly. It is a superb signifier and connotes depth and feeling. Barthes suggests codes signify different meanings and it will be interesting to see if our TA has a negotiated or oppositional reading. [Hall]
