 Statement of Intent Product 1: My music video will rely heavily on mise-en-scene as it contains a messy bedroom connoting the idea that the protagonist has given up caring and the mess also acts as a metaphor for the protagonist's unstable and 'all over the place'. The editing also plays a large part as the VHS static adds to the idea of it being an insight of a someone struggling with mental health, the fake gun and ending also represents and links to the statistic at the start of the music video highlighting the threat of suicide. The video also appears to be in a loop, thus illustrating the seemingly endless cycle of suffering.  The music video also draws on some conventions from artists associated and signed with Warner Music Group. The use of the artist in the video, but not necessarily in a performance type music video, mimics the style of videos used by Hayley Kiyoko, especially in the 'What I Need' music video. The targeted audience in the age group of 16-2

  Production Diary Day 3 The production and photoshoots have been completed (for the most part). The props feature throughout the piece, whether as their intended design or lighting. The replica lightsabre has been used as lighting in a few shots of the video as well as the photoshoots. A fake pistol has also been used in the video and photoshoot. The results of the photoshoot will be displayed on the character/artists social media accounts as well as the website and will be displayed below

  Production Diary Day 2 We move closer towards shoot week, my props have arrived (see below). Shooting has yet to begin. 

Production Diary Day 1 As we get closer to 'shoot-week', the majority of props and wardrobe are in my possession. The items needed to film however, are pending. The website is, for the most part, complete with the photos and the video itself being what's missing. These will be ready and updated in the coming weeks. 

 Intertextuality The referencing of another media text or cultural product. In making this reference, the meaning is shaped and developed. An example of intertextuality is a scene in Deadpool 2, in which Deadpool, references his co-star's character in another franchise. Another example is the inclusion of Yoda and Star Wars memorabilia in E.T, this is then mimicked/cameoed as in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, E.T. can be seen as being members of the Galactic Senate.
