Analysing lyrics/Ideas for video

I lay awake at night and pray
- Night time, dark Not to see the light of day
- show emotion

I wonder how to behave right

He has left me such a mess
- (He) shes the protagonist
Counting to protest My mind can't get no rest
- Mind, eerie feeling inside the mind
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
-Memories flash back bright contrast to thoughts in "mind"
Calling me out in dreams
-Dreams again very visual lights, eerie imagery
He visits me
-Ghost?
What will be Will I see him again soon?
Oh oh oh oh Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him -Romance
The scene, a city after dawn
City lights
Becomes a field of corn -corn
Fields ,innocent And I've had this one before
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
Calling me out in dreams He visits me
What will be Will I see him again soon?

Oh oh oh oh Why am I so terrified of waking? He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
I know that when the story ends
The one that's in my head
-Inside head uses this imagery a lot
Well, I'll be alone again
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
Be with him I love him, I love him, I love him

The lyrics create strong imagery therefore i need strong shots with effective lighting in the video i am going to create, the lyric "fast asleep where i keep my memories" indicates to me that the thoughts and feelings of the video come from the artists head therefore i want to use lights and candles to create an eerie effect. because of the genre of the song i want to include the artists performing.

LIIAR

LANGUAGE: The language of the video or song will depend upon the genre of the music and what the audience is about. For example the language of a pop song would be very different to a rock video as the ideology would be different therefore the artist would want to represent different things. The song i am making my video to is under the genre folk rock therefore the language would fit to this theme.


INSTITUTION: The institution is the people in charge of making videos, such as the record label the artist is signed to. The label would need to market and sell the song, so by making a promotional video for the released song this will expose the song and the album to audiences.

IDEOLOGY: The reason for music videos is simply to promote the song but in a different way than the radio it gets the audience to listen to the song but also watch the video therefore the song is been distributed in more ways than one.

AUDIENCE: This is who the video is aimed at again been based on the genre the video as well as the song needs to attract and create the right target audience.

Representation: The way the artist in the video act and are dressed is thought about deeply, as they need to be represented to the audience in the way they want to be.

Target Audience and song choice

My music video will be aimed at people from the age of 16-25 it is quite a wide age gap as most people enjoy music therefore it is going to appeal to a vast amount of people. The genre of the song i have chosen is under the country folk rock as it is by the artist "Lissie" i have chosen to create a video for the song "In Sleep" i have chose this particular song as it does not have an existing video there for they will be know expectations and i completely come up with the whole look myself. Lissie as an artist that is also not very well known in the industry there fore it will be something knew.

I lay awake at night and pray
Not to see the light of day
I wonder how to behave right
He has left me such a mess Counting to protest
My mind can't get no rest

Fast asleep where I keep my memories
Calling me out in dreams He visits me
What will be Will I see him again soon?

Oh oh oh oh Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him,
get to love him

The scene, a city after dawn Becomes a field of corn
And I've had this one before

Fast asleep where I keep my memories
Calling me out in dreams He visits me
What will be Will I see him again soon?

Oh oh oh oh Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him,
get to love him

I know that when the story ends
The one that's in my head Well,
I'll be alone again

Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him,
get to love him Be with him
I love him, I love him, I love him

Texual Analysis for Music video "Thinking of you" by katy Perry

The music video "Thinking of you" by Katy Perry is intertexual to the war. Although the lyrics to the song does not necessarily link to that particular subject. They can be an example of someones feelings who's partner was in the war. Katy perry represents the role of a woman who's past partner has gone to the war the concept of the video shows feelings and emotions when trying to be in another relationship. The narrative of this video is a very simple love story narrative making it more interesting the fact the character has gone to war this gives people things to relate to. The beginning of the video starts with Katy looking into a mirror and placing a photo of a man dressed in army uniform this straight away shows the intentions of this music video. The mise en scene in this is very 1950's as the way Katy is dressed. The video uses constructions such as flashbacks as Katy sees her life before the male left to the army this is a very successful convention of a music video.

The genre of the music video is romance although having links to the war. This creates emotion and gets across what is wanted by the artist. The audience of this video is going to be fans of Katy perry along with her music Katy is a style icon wearing eccentric clothes and bold colours this would also attract and audience. The camera shots such as close ups are often used in romance genres as it gets across emotions successfully. The mise en scene inside the house is dark to show the sad emotion and in the flash backs the scene is bright and sunny showing she preferred her like before. The mise en scene is also very vintage and old fashioned which creates a very "perfect" scene. This video uses a narrative structure although she sings in the video she is still playing the characters role.
