Planning music video Lyric analysis - Miss Georgiou

Slow editing for the beginning of the lyrics as this is slow tempo. The lyrics are emotional so our narrative will be about an argument or something emotional to match these lyrics. 'Guilt is burning inside I'm hurting' these lyrics show the singer is emotional so we could have two people arguing and then after having someone upset and emotional. There is the constant use of the word 'sorry', this shows the song is emotional and we are going to use a man being regretful and going on a journey as this narrative will match the emotion of the lyrics. My group printed off the lyrics and then studied what the lyrics meant and came up with ideas of what to use for our narrative, we highlighted main words and discussed what narrative would go well with this. Our annotations will help us plan our micro elements as we can know what kind of feeling the song wants to create, and because we knew we wanted two people arguing we decided to use normal costume and have the location first in a house and then following the man in a car while he's going on a journey as he's feeling 'guilty' and 'sorry'. 

The target audience for our music video will be teenagers and they can relate to this video as the narrative of arguing will be familiar to our target audience. The conventions I am going to use are slow editing and fast editing, at first there is slow tempo to the lyrics with the song being very emotional, this will be matched with slow editing and when the tempo of the song goes quicker during the middle we are going to use fast editing. The fast pace of the editing goes against the emotional lyrics. Our lyrics have no hidden meanings as it is clear to see the lyrics are emotional with words like guilt and sorry and don't blame it on me keep being repeated through out the song. The lyrics 'Can't be sleeping' shows the artist is so stressed he can't sleep- we will show this in our music video with him being stressed. We are going to start the video off with a boy and girl arguing in a house then the boy will storm out angrily and head to his car. The camera will be on top of the car and follow where he is driving, the boy will keep driving showing he is lost in his heart and feels sorry and guilty.  We followed the Goodwin theory the Goodwin theory is where there is a succinct relationship between music and visuals our music video will match the emotion and tempo of our lyrics, which is emotional and slow paced. The lyrics are below and you can see there is a constant use of emotional words.

Can't be sleeping,

Keep on waking

Without the woman next to me

Guilt is burning

Inside I'm hurting

This ain't a feeling I can keep

So, blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

So, blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

[Instrumental]

Can't you see it, I was manipulated

I had to let her through the door

I had no choice in this

I was the friend she missed,

She needed me to talk

So, blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

So, blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

So, blame it on the night

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Don't blame it on me

Oh I'm so sorry, so sorry baby

(I'll be better this time)

I will be better this time

I got to say

I'm so sorry

Oh I promise

(I'll be better this time

I'll be better this time)

Don't blame it on me!

Don't blame it on me!
