Narrative

For the narrative we have chosen to be a bit creative and are going to use a different media type in our music video. We are going to use a process called Stop Motion. This is an animation type that uses hundreds of pictures to give the effect of movement. We chose to do this as we currently have still images to show the narrative. We thought to make this better we would make stop motion. This is a tried and tested method of use in music videos as Peter Gabriel used it with the song Sledge Hammer which I have written about on a previous post. In addition to Sledge Hammer another example of stop motion is: For our stop motion narrative it will fill approximately 30 seconds of the video and will be shot at 14 frames per second. This means that over 400 single photographs will have to be taken to fill the 30 seconds of stop motion.
