Task 8 - Ideas About Representation

I want my artist to be represented as being very 'normal' and not the typical famous music artist with designer clothes and lots of money with his own chauffeur etc. Luc will also be represented as being a down to earth, good guy and because the song is about being creative and setting your mind free he will also have to be a little eccentric.

To convey my representations in the music video my artist will be dressed in dark jeans, a white jumper, a long jacket and a mustard coloured scarf. The dark jeans and the long, black coat make him look like an everyday person with nothing to make him stand out which helps the audience relate to him. The jumper is white to convey purity, calm, and goodness. Finally the yellow scarf is there to add a little colour and personality to his physical look and yellow is the colour of fun, humor, intellect, creativity and personal power, all of which are are part of the meaning of the song.

Luc will also have some props to add to his representation, such as sunglasses, a book and feathers. the sunglasses show he is cool, the book shows his intellect and want for escapism, and the feathers are linked with being free. The scarf is also a prop used as an accesory, representation of the song and an interesting transition between shots.

Other ways I will convey the artist's representation is my camerawork and settings. Almost every shot will have some form of nature in it whether its a greenery, water, fire or animals. Nature is seen as relaxing and calm and a place to escape reality. The city will also be used in contrast with Luc's dreams with nature and shows him as a normal, everyday person
