Having researched the four main narrative theories I have decided which my music video will comply to. From my discussion on Propp's theory I will clearly not be restricting myself to those roles presented as I could not find many other films let alone music videos which did. However as I want my music video narrative to progress I shall be incorporating the concept of an equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium, founded by Todorov. As my music video will have a limited time frame I shall use Barthes' codes to portray the narratve within the time constraint; I will especially focus on the symbolic aspects which my mise en scene will convey. Also I feel it is key to include some cultural facets so my artist's star image can be constructed as British, however I will avoid casting too much of an English atmosphere as I want my music video to be suitable for a global market. Finally, as my music video is displaying the conflict between fairytale and reality I will obviously be presenting Levi Staruss' theory of conflict between two qualities- real and ideal.
