For this question we decided to use a commentary on our video, as we believed this would best allow us to show how we have used, developed and challenged genre conventions - due to the ability to combine voice with images - both still and moving (from our piece and others)
The script for this video is as follows:
Tom Bacon (Me)
* The question we are focusing on revolves around the extent to which our music video uses, challenges and develops genre conventions.
* Whilst in the research and planning stages for the piece we watched The Wall a feature length music video, on Pink Floyd's eleventh studio album The Wall. Despite our chosen song not featuring on this album, the conveyed messages and values are still extremely relevant to our piece, as Pink Floyd's conventions can be seen throughout the whole of their discography.
* From watching this we gained a great deal of inspiration, as the video often focuses on similar themes that we were aiming to portray; for this reasons it was extremely useful research, and the inspiration we gained can clearly be seen throughout our finished piece.
* Notable scenes that show this are; the cigarette burning sequence, and also the anger sequence - these explicitly show how we were directly influenced by the music video, and how as a group we have utilized Pink Floyd's pre-established conventions.
* Another use of conventions is shown in our reference to death within the video; particularly surrounding the graveyard images. This is directly linked to the original song title The Mortality Sequence, and the lyrical references to death throughout the piece; "I'm not afraid of dying, any time will do..."
