A LINK BETWEEN LYRICS & VISUALS
First of all a summary of our music video tear in my heart,
the story is about a young teenager which has lost his first love in a
relationship but he realizes that his love carved her way into his heart and
left a tear which he accepted that pain in order to change himself to be a
better man. The music video comprises of both narrative and performance act.
In our music video there is a strong link between the lyrics
and the visual in the narrative side of the music video an example of this
would be the build up and the second chorus, “But it takes someone to come around to show
you how” this part of the songs means that to feel alive you need someone to
love you and show you how to be alive, this is portray to the visuals in the
music video by that woke up and realizes that “sometimes you got the bleed to
know that you’re alive and have a soul”. This means that the only way a person
could feel emotion and feel alive is through pain, the word bleeding will lead
the death, and this is contrasted as it being more alive.
Continuing on this point, during the bridge “You fell asleep
in my car I drove the whole time, but that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so
you sleep fine. I’m driving here I sit, cursing my government for not using my
tax to fill the holes with more cement. This is portrayed to the music video as
he is mentally avoiding the potholes in their relationship, as a not hitting
the potholes means that there is peace and there are no problems. Taxes are
indicated as the effort he put in to this relationship and that the potholes
are the protagonist mental health, as his path may need a lot of repairs.
At the outro of the song, we emphasize the running with the
song as it builds up faster and faster, ‘She’s the tear in my heart, she’s a
carver, she’s a butcher with a smile. Cut me farther” in the music video we try
to portray, as it’s the sudden realization of the protagonist that all the pain
he has been experiencing becomes what he uses to push himself forward across
and over his past and memories of his love.
A LINK BETWEEN MUSIC & VISUAL
Our group's attempt at filming the music and the visual is that the tempo and our beat of the song matches the visuals, as you can see from 0:00 to 0:20 seconds into the music video that the beat matches the cut of the music video, this gives an appeal to the viewers as it will be more interesting and a bit more professional as if the cut is offbeat it may ruin their viewing experience. Another reason why we did this is because a music video is create to help advertise the song as well as accompany the viewer through to create an imagery for them and the sole purpose is to tell a story.
We also emphasises the music with the bridge as the music slowed down, which gives a moment of rest for the audience and the music because the chorus of this song can be seen as a gallop, it is fast and continuous this is why we paired it with most of the running scenes in our video as it matches the pace the of the chorus. At the outro of the song there is a huge build up after the bridge but at the end it slows down, as seen in the music video the protagonist opens the door which means that he has reached the pinnacle of his journey and can be said that he has fulfilled his role in this relationship we used this side to side with the build up of the chorus and the fulfilling break at the end of the song to bring it to an end.
USES OF INTERTEXTUALITY
We uses intertextuality mostly on the lyrics and the mood of the song we took it the same route as our choice of artist which was TwentyOnePilots
The mood of the original tear in my heart music video was lively and i can say that it is pretty vibrant and a lot is going on in the music video, so we took on this idea and developed it onto our music video as there is a lot of movement from our singer in the performance side of our music video.
Here is another thing we implemented in our video, this is called to stop motion zoom and was use in the original music video to emphasise the look on the pedestrians that are looking at the lead singer. Here in our music video we implemented this but with the cut zoom instead this is to match the beat of the song and to give it more of an appeal to the song.
We "borrowed" this idea from the popular release of TwentyOnePilot's stressed out music video, where they ride a tricycle and implemented into the bridge of the song, as most of TwentyOnePilot videos is heavily linked to the lead singers life "Tyler", so we wanted to make that connection as well.
VOYEURISM AND A NOTION OF LOOKING
via GIPHY
There are some Voyeurism and notion of looking in our music video especially in the GIF above, its the point of view of both of the male and the female exchanging eye contact. An example here is just an simple close up shot. Another one is the notion of looking by the lead singer which is common in nearly every music video that has a performance act in it.
OBJECTIFICATION
Our attempt on objectification that we focus mostly on the male side of the music video, and could be seen as how male do after losing a relationship as we have put in a drinking scene which male often use to forget a specific things and to relieve stress. The objectification of the protagonist here is weak and vulnerable and that woman can toy and play with a mans heart leaving the man seen as puny but what we see is that a man have a lot of resilience to push through and can endure the pain he is experiencing in his heart.
It can be said that the music video shows the progress of a relationship down a mans path after a break up.
DEMANDS OF THE RECORD LABEL
As for the demands of the record label we decided to go with along with the same notion of twenty one pilot and their alternative type of music. Twenty One Pilot has 2 members and uses mostly electronics, pianos and drums. Here we did the same, to show connections to the songs as well, because the instrument played in the music is only drums and piano.
As for the identity of the band, its call The Solutions and their target audience is Hipsters (More will be explained in evaluation 4) and our label group is FUELEDBYRAMEN which is a label group that signed many indies and alternative type of artist including TwentyOnePilot as well.
GENERIC CHARACTERISTIC ASSOCIATED TO THE GENRE
TWENTY ONE PILOT and The Solutions can be seen as parallel, the intertextuality we took from them can be seen as we are the same artist but from a different dimensions.
The Solution will be seen as a unique musical trio which incorporates 3 main distinctive genre's of music in their act. These three are indie pop, alternative hip hop and electropop and the dress code by the artist is seen as 'Indie Hipster', all 3 of them has their own dress code but they keep it all within a range that generic people will see as hipster, as they wear vibrant colours but will have the colour black because it coordinates with other colours really well (Base Colour)
