Production Diary - Day 1

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. 

Intertexuality

Image
 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.

Music Video Treatment

Image
  Music Video Treatment John Doe - 'Stay Happy' Album Cover Draft I want my video to illustrate the struggles people with mental health issues go through to fit in, to feel like they belong and not feel like the outsiders their mind tells them they are. With the video featuring the protagonists struggle with their depression and anxiety as well as them partaking in activities to try and help themselves, such as escapism and medication. The video can end as a cliff-hanger, in that the protagonist takes a lot of pills and falls backwards, leading the audience to interpret whether they have just passed out or committed suicide.  Scene 1: wakes up crying Scene 2: crying in shower Scene 3: changing multiple times to be comfortable Scene 4: meds Scene 5: going out into town  Scene 6:  goes home and takes meds Scene 7: takes pills and falls back
